Hi there, I've been maintaining my own vehicles for over 30 yrs. I have experienced a few rounded off bolts/nuts, in hard-to-reach places. The set in this video, is not a true bolt extractor. The difference is a true bolt extractor, have spiral Reverse flutes on the inside. These Reverse spiral flutes get narrow as they travel to the bottom of the socket. This helps the bolt extractor to bit into the metal, as torque is applied to it. Sometimes, you have to tap the bolt extractor onto the bolt/nut, so it can bite into the metal to be removed. The tool in this video has vertical flutes only, which means they will not bite into the metal as torque is applied. This tool will not work on high torqued or rusted automotive bolts/nuts.

I'm about to blow your mind There are different designs for bolt extractors
@joemercieca47942 ай бұрын
@@jurj97You are correct but this is not the most effective design for bolt removal. Being bi-directional comes at a cost, where it does not bite as well as a bolt extractor that cuts in as torque is applied in one direction. As Pk3_Garage mentioned these will not work well for highly torqued or extremely rusted bolts. Stick to the true bolt extractors in this situation.

Bought the first 8 piece set by mistake from Acme in July & decided to keep & try them. To my amazement, they work well, & glad for my happy accident purchase. Picked up another 8 piece set from Acme for $42.49 for my brothers-in-law (he just got his first impact 6 days ago💪🏼, he’s a DeWalt fan; but hey...we all can’t be perfect now can we😉🤣🤣). I call them “Back Biter” instead of Bolt Biter for some weird reason 🤪; & now I’ve got the whole family calling them Back Biter sockets 🤣. Great Video, see ya on the next one👊🏼
