Gearwrench 84761 Bolt Extractor Socket 7/16 in 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84761 is a bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or seized fasteners that standard sockets can no longer grip. The socket fits 7/16 inch (11 mm) fasteners and is driven by a 3/8 inch drive ratchet. It measures 1.377 inches in overall length, making it compact enough for tight spaces. Licensed technicians and professional tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work rely on extractor sockets when corrosion or over-torquing has stripped a fastener head past the point of normal removal. The 84761 delivers the biting grip needed to break loose problem fasteners without damaging surrounding components.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever 7/16 inch fasteners are encountered. Common applications include equipment panel removal, mechanical fastener extraction on HVAC units, plumbing fixture hardware, and electrical enclosure hardware. It is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches already in a technician's kit, requiring no additional adapters for most setups.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and operated by any trade professional using standard 3/8 inch drive hand tools. Before attempting fastener extraction, de-energize or shut off the system being serviced per applicable safety codes. Apply penetrating lubricant to corroded fasteners and allow adequate soak time before engaging the extractor to reduce the risk of fastener breakage. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless the tool and socket are both rated for impact use.
