fiat 500 oil drain plug
Would Recommendsomehow i stripped my 13mm oil drain plug. my first idea was to use locking pliers. it did not work. it slipped. I saw on YouTube this bolt extractors and decided to give them a try. they worked. on the first spin the bolt came off!
Case is flimsy and cheap
The case is a little weird -it has 10 slots, and 5 bolt extractors. The second you open it, everything pops out and doesn't stay. But the product itself really worked well and removed a stuck bolt that I spent way too long trying to remove with a plain socket.

Works well, unbelievable grip
Would RecommendHad two badly corroded starter bolts on a 24 year old Explorer that would not budge. The extractor bit in hard and with a breaker bar, a 2 ft pipe extension, and lots of heat took both the bolts out. Flutes are nice and sharp despite having to beat it onto the bolt head with an air hammer. My new go to for stuck fasteners
Awesome Set! Helped Remove Exhaust Bolts on Old BM
Would RecommendGreat set. Helped me remove some very old, crusty and rusty bolts from the exhaust midpipe on a 97 BMW.

Good Extractor Set
Would RecommendThese bolt extractors work very well. Just make sure they cut into the bolt head by tapping them in place - should be a tight fit. Good to have if you do a lot of auto repair work.

Brilliant !
Would RecommendSocket slipped and I badly rounded a 14mm bolt whilst removing brake rotors from daughter's car. Was sceptical but these Irwin bolt grips were my last resort. Apply some CRC or WD40 to the bolt first. Placed the bolt-grip onto the bolt and gave a light tap to sit it there. Do NOT hit the socket bar but apply firm even pressure to enable the bolt-grip to screw down on the bolt head. Needed some force and I couldn't believe it when the bolt freed.

Did the job exceptionally well.
Would RecommendHad a Stripped 13mm head bolt, I was very impressed, got it out effortlessly. I was starting to think it was going to be a hassle. These saved the day.

I haven’t used other bolt extractor sets but this one specific day is cut and angled perfectly as long as you get it snug fit on it it’s gonna turn it even with the 3/8 it’ll come off

Purfect
Would RecommendI had some soft aluminum boots to remove and nothing would get them out not even large channel locks. Used these extractors and no problem at all. I would highly recommend these.
