Gearwrench 84760 Bolt Extractor Socket 7/16 in 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84760 is a bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or corroded fasteners that standard sockets can no longer grip. Built for 3/8 inch drive ratchets, it targets 7/16 inch (11 mm) fasteners and measures 1.377 inches in overall length. The extractor geometry bites into the fastener surface as torque is applied, allowing removal without the need for specialty hand tools. Automotive technicians, HVAC service techs, plumbers, and maintenance mechanics reach for this socket when a fastener head has degraded past the point of normal removal. At 0.11 pounds, it is a compact, single-purpose addition to any extraction set.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever 7/16 inch fasteners are encountered. Common applications include equipment panels, motor mounts, pipe fittings, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies where corrosion or overtorquing has damaged fastener heads. It is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets and compatible drive accessories. The compact 1.377 inch length allows access in moderately confined spaces.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Seat the extractor socket fully onto the fastener before applying torque to ensure proper bite and reduce the risk of further fastener damage. Apply steady, controlled force with the ratchet rather than impact, unless the socket is rated for impact use. Wear appropriate hand and eye protection when working with damaged or corroded fasteners.
