MAC TOOLS RBRT MORE FLAWS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS!! GEARWRENCH BOLT BITTERS!!

[@TomGunnTools]

Nice to have an assortment of extractors since they are all slightly different. One may work better than others based on situation.

[@FourRingsAuto]

Is the matco set you pulled out actually an astro rebrand? I know they have a 1/2 inch drive set that looks similar on Amazon.

[@CPthetooladdict]

It is but the astro is only a one year warranty in the Matco is a lifetime

[@farm_feveryt4139]

Macs RBRT sockets are meant to be hammered onto a fastener. A benefit for Mac is their ability to reuse the fastener in the event of a no replacement available. Love these sockets would 100% recommend

[@CPthetooladdict]

Gearwrench bolt bitters do the same thing for a 1/3 the price made in the same country of origin plus they have a better finish.

[@davidwalle5025]

great job cp. Do a video on the hex drive and torx. Never listen to salesman with clean hands.

[@lonewolfyz1]

Are the other rbrt sockets the same as the 10mm? For example the 8mm and so on for fitting a bolt of the said sizes, maybe a bad set?

[@CPthetooladdict]

I'm going to further research and look at all aspects

[@oblivion._.8294]

I like the bolt biter. If Its round enough that the 10mm doesn't fit anymore they have their minus sizes which come in handy

[@axelvanegas9623]

I bought the Mac ones and have come in handy, I end up using the bigger size sometimes, cause they grab the sides not the corners so it works out.

[@randyduncan8863]

I ordered the 1/4 drive rocket sockets with the in between sizes like 6.2 mm an so one

[@larryborkstrom3580]

These type of socket extractors are tricky as far as sizing goes but if you have a good variety of sizes, one is bound to fit.

[@JakeNaughtFromStateFarm]

I’ve been wanting to get some rounded bolt removers. I was considering the Bolt Biters, but I’ve heard good things about the Rocket Sockets. I don’t need em as often as some of the rest of y’all, but we could have used them today. My coworker had a few stripped bolts on a turbo and the Irwins in the shop weren’t cuttin it.

[@JakeNaughtFromStateFarm]

[@ThadrinC]

Thanks for the review, I have to admit I got exited when I saw Rbrt sockets but when I seen them I put them right down, glad I did. However the RBRT hex , torx, and triple squares are 100% amazing and I swear by them and only reach for them anymore. Sad to see they couldn’t deliver on them, also noticed they screwed up and only go up to 18mm, and you have to buy a separate set for 19mm and higher. Its frankly a bullshit game to make more sales and if they would have just made normal set sizing bed drive size I probably would have bought a set to try..

[@monsieurbeefeur2270]

Thank you for the insight here! I just bought my first Milwaukee stubby and am looking for a good set of 1/2" impact sockets. Is there any reason I shouldn't use the Gear Wrench Bolt Biters or that "6 leaf clover" design as a general purpose socket? I am pretty clueless and just want to make a good decision for a first 1/2" drive impact socket set in metric. I appreciate advice from more knowledgeable people like you!

[@ThadrinC]

The bolt biters and turbo sockets are only for rounded bolts that you can’t get off with conventional sockets, using them will damage the bolt/but you are trying to take off.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I highly recommend the rocket socket or turbo sockets or astro flank bites they are top Notch!

When I worked at a car dealership a customer got a flat tire over 20 miles out of town. AAA rounded all lug nuts on flat tire and broke tire iron. The car was towed to my dealership and it was given to a entry level tech before a flat rate tech had to drill and replace the lug studs. My gear wrench bolt biters and a IR 2235 eventually was able to remove all the lug nuts. I had to go to a smaller bolt biter a couple of times because the lug nut was collapsing on itself, and hammer them on but the bolt biters worked great for me. And survived to do the job again. Long story short don't rotate tires and go full send on impact gun. USE A TORQUE WRENCH. OR ATLEAST USE TORQUE STICKS.

[@CPthetooladdict]

That's a fantastic story and outcome thanks for sharing!!!

[@anthonycrawford7001]

I have recently subscribed to your channel bud I really like your honesty and I agree the mac rbrt sockets are kinda junky I swear by my Irwin extraction sockets I work in a salvage yard and run into a lot of striped fasteners. My Mac guy talked me into them and I got them paid them off and traded them in towards a nice set of triple square sockets for working on vw’s

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for the sub!

[@LPX]

RBRT is slightly smaller because the fastener is going to be damaged, therefore a smaller size, and you’ll hammer it on. If it fits snug when it’s new may as well use a normal socket.

[@CPthetooladdict]

If it's beyond slightly they are to expensive and junk

[@LPX]

@@CPthetooladdict agreed, I suppose when you put price into consideration it’s definitely a downfall.. better options for a much more attractive price.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I used them several times and I found that I was slightly to tight I was not too impressed that using the gearwrench bolt bitters and Astro flank bites work well and like you said price is astronomically different.

[@LPX]

@@CPthetooladdict I use the Irwin extractors and I’ve never had a problem with them. They’re identical to the snap on ones, probably come out of the same factory. I think I bought the full kit for about 50$

[@CPthetooladdict]

Those are great as well

[@codestools1528]

I like the bolt bitters they have worked great for most things. And I still do run the old Craftsman turbo sockets aswell. Thanks for the video and information cp much appreciated getting a honest review

[@Gooter81]

I just watch the RBRT video. They are made to be hammered down on the nut. This way it doesn’t strip it more so you can reuse it if your in a jam. Keep up the great videos

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks

[@ABH313]

Thanks for making this video!!! Can't wait for the shootout 👍

[@cortezaz]

Why doesn’t it fit on the 10mm? I’ve seen the videos and the guy says you have to hammer those in. Probably made for a completely destroyed fasteners. Great vids CP👍

[@CPthetooladdict]

Because there's a difference between pounding on and whaling on its supposed to be snug not so tight you have to take full swings lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Seems like MAC has a good idea, but needs some work still. Right now the nut or bolt has to be damaged just the right amount for it to work. Need in between sizes it looks like.

[@axelvanegas9623]

Not really, I used the next size up cause it grabs the sides not the corner, I doesn't work on all sizes all the time. Like the 11 on a 10 but the bigger the size the better it works.

Absolutely 💯 axel

[@lovetolearn5253]

To be fair the bolt or nut spose to be rounded and taped on with a hammer. I think it not fitting a 10mm is questionable. Let's say you lightly or just started to rounded off a bolt and wanted to get it out before shit hit the fan. Then that might not fit. Now if shit hit the fan and your left with your d#ck in your hand then that 9.5 might be your best friend. I guess its how you look at it. For me it's not worth the price but I love the extractor part of the tool. I think that was a awesome ideal.

[@CPthetooladdict]

It was a good idea poorly executed in rushed to market not once but twice it would have to be severely rounded to be hammered on let's not forget that these are tools that will set and not be used for weeks at a time also.

[@Airman..]

Unfortunately, Rounded bolts are not always 5x smaller when damaged the fitment off first of all. You said tap!! Lol more like a sledge hammer needed!! 2nd its quality is trash as I showed they didn't even screw in the F.O.R 3rd they are price gouging the gearwrench bolt bitters will do the same job every time for a third of the price and they are made in overseas just like the rbrts. Just as I stated in the video they are trash.

@@Airman.. not to mention they are only made in a deep version which takes up a tremendous amount of space to be able to achieve the swing needed to get the remover on the damaged fastener I feel like I explained this Farley clearly in the video.
