ROCKETSOCKET | 18 Piece ¼” Drive Bolt Lug Nut Extractor Socket Tool Set | RAZORGRIP Technology Extract Damaged Frozen Rusted Rounded-Off Bolts Nuts & Screws | Made in USA Steel

About 20 years ago I built a bridge to an island on my pond. It is now time to replace the floorboards and to do so I needed to remove the PVC railing I put up then. There are 20 posts with 8 Robertson (square socket) stainless steel screws to hold the brackets that the railings are attached to. While trying to remove the screws the soft stainless steel screws began to strip making removing them impossible without actually grinding the heads off to release the brackets. Over 25% of the screws stripped when trying to remove them. After doing an internet search as to what would be the best screw extractor for this job I came across the Rocketsocket extractors. I received them today and what a difference!!!!! The sockets covered the screw heads and zipped them out like nothing. They did such a great job I did not even bother to use the square head screwdriver to take the rest of the undamaged screws out. I used the Rocketsocket on all of the remaining screws and turned a many hour job into less than an hour. I could have not done the job without this extractor set. They are a little expensive and I would have liked them packaged in a little better case but overall I am tremendously satisfied with them.

I have now used this set twice for extremely stuck bolts. The first bolt I had soaked in penetrating oil for 24 hours and even used a torch to heat up the bolt and nothing seemed to work. I went to autozone and bought a set of socket bolt extractors and it immediately stripped the socket. I then gave up for a few days while I waited for this set to come in. Within 5 minutes of receiving this set I had that darn bolt out. A few days later I had a rusted bolt that was mounted on my turbo pedestal. It took an incredible amount of force but this extractor worked and I used the same 10mm socket, even after using it a second time I could tell it would work again. The sockets are made of a very nice hardened metal that will definitely last. The fluting is machined so that they only work for extraction, so don’t expect this to be an all around set to use. That same fluting really holds tight when extracting. These are amazing and worth every penny, they excel at relieving frustration. I am going to buy every size they offer now.

If you need to get rounded off bolts out and the head size is under 10mm you need this set. I tried to remove transmission pan bolts with 8mm heads with a cheaper set that had an 8mm socket and it did remove 12 of the 14 but 2 were more rusty than the others and they rounded off even more. When I got this set I used the 7.5mm socket and it bit in tight and the other 2 came right out. When you are dealing with the smaller sizes you really need the in between sizes because there is such little material to begin with. It is pricey and I did not want to spend the money but not having to drill out a hardened bolt in an aluminum transmission case was worth every penny.

Reviews are good on these. There’s a couple of YouTube tests that had these rated one of the best…..time will tell. Hopefully I never have to use them! You will need to buy a storage rack for them as they could have come with better storage for the price…… if they had better storage, I would give them five stars.

Worked like a charm. Torque Test Review was spot on! You can’t beat these sockets!

BMW tightened this oil filter housing bolt waaaaaay too much at the factory. Got the other two out no problem, they came out with a 1/4” drive and socket. This bolt shown took a 1/4” to 3/8” adaptor and an extra long 3/8 ratchet for the Rocket Socket to apply enough torque on it to break it free. Which it did flawlessly. This set is amazing. They bite and hang on tight. Don’t waste your time or money on the imitators. The variety of sizes help to get just the right size, which wasn’t obvious at first. I was so impressed that I bought this set’s bigger counterpart too. High quality, easy to use and made in the USA, works for me. This is a company I am happy to support. Thank you for making these!

I started doing the valve cover gasket on my '09 F150 last week. A few of the non-threaded studs in the back have badly corroded 8mm nuts on them, trying to use a socket would just strip them further and the socket would just spin. I tried using a Grip-Tite socket on them and then a spline socket, nothing would work. Tried using Vise Grips on the stud, nope. Went to Harbor Freight and got a set with a 1/4" option to maybe get it onto the stud, no dice. Was at Home Depot anyway, got a Husky set with an 8mm extractor, it would just spin on the nut. Finally ran across these and ordered them immediately. I thought I was going to have to use the 7.75mm but the 8mm worked fine after I cut the studs off with a flex shaft Dremel. And by fine I mean IMMEDIATELY. These are a little pricey but they were totally worth it, especially if you do this stuff all the time (I don't).

These sockets have great bite on the studs. 3 off mine broke white using but the company sent out new ones ASAP and got the job done. Very good quality (besides the broken sockets. Could have just been bad luck) new ones and the rest have worked flawlessly! Will definitely buy again if needed and if they come in different drive sizes.

These are renowned in the USA for Quality!.I purchased the full set in the different drive socket sizes including the 8 piece set and they are Awesome.They don’t rust as they are made from a stainless steel material.They grip extremely well and do the job as described.

Not the cheapest but excellent quality
