What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this extractor set for its exceptional ability to remove stripped, rounded, and seized bolts that traditional tools failed to extract. Most highlight successful removals of oil drain plugs, caliper bolts, and exhaust nuts previously damaged by vice grips or impact tools. Many emphasize significant time and cost savings by avoiding expensive shop repairs. Reviewers note the intuitive design, strong gripping action, and compatibility with standard breaker bars and ratchets across 10mm to 16mm sizes. A few report rare failures on severely hardened bolts. Overall, customers consider this a worthwhile investment for challenging bolt extraction.

Bit pricey but worth it, gets the job done!

Would Recommend

This is a great product, really good quality and gets the job done. I was replacing a part on my car with very little clearance, the bolts were so rusted that nothing gripped them, not even vice grips. i came this these and in two minutes i took both bolts off.

I usually don't review anything like this but I was really impressed with this socket set I had a oil plug rounded off I had tried everything else I could think of no luck it was just getting worse so I had a Lowes gift card and I went and bought a set put the socket on and the oil plug came right out perfect no problem I hope this helps someone

This set is small, not for larger bolts.

Would Recommend

I did not have this set in my toolset. I had to use my Grandson's. It worked perfectly.

Great product - dont waste your time @ HF.

Would Recommend

It worked exactly aa the sales associate said. I was a little concerned because there wasn't a 15mm size. But the range did work on one socket. Lowes just needs to label where things are at better online. Way too vague and took way too long in store.

Did the job

Would Recommend

Stuck bolt on a 1996 F-150 gas tank and this got it off. Best way to hold it in my experience was vice grips

Buy both sets.

Excellent idea for a tool. But, the original didn't have enough sizes and it was difficult to find the expansion set.

This is a Lifesaver!!!

Would Recommend

Removed two round-edged torx bolts that had been stripped out and mangled. I thought that I was NEVER going to get them out, but this did the trick. I had to hammer the extractor down onto the bolts to get a good bite, and then persuaded them with that same hammer while turning with a breaker bar. What an awesome tool!

Does the Job

Would Recommend

Drain plug was not coming off. This set is great. Used an extension to get some focused direct hits. No feeling like when that stripped bolt finally starts turning. Don’t try and save $15 for a cheaper set. Buy Irwin.

Made a miserable job EASY.

Would Recommend

It made taking out a rusted and rounded out brake bleeder screw a breeze. I didnt like how the case doesnt really hold the sockets in place but it works.

No more need for PB blaster. This will get out any

Never thought it would work and it got two bolts out of a 15-year-old Subaru Pinch bolt that was essentially welded with rust. Never even slipped on. It just backed it right out.

A well made tool That works when others fail

Would Recommend

I purchased this item 5+ yrs ago and it saved my kiester then. I just got a 2011 1500 (now 2024) and was trying to install nerf bars on it. I broke a ‘cab hold down isolator bolt. I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t even know the name for what I broke when it happened. All I could see was hundred dollar bills floating out of my wallet from taking it to a mechanic!!!… Then I remembered My Erwin bolt extractors. After trial, PB blaster and more errors just to fix the extractor down in the ho...
