Gearwrench 86074 Bolt Extractor Socket 1/4 in Drive 16-22mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 86074 is a dual-sized bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or corroded fasteners in the 16 to 22 mm range. It accepts a 1/4 inch square drive and measures 3.23 inches in overall length, making it compact enough for use in tight engine bays or chassis work. Laser-etched size markings keep identification fast and accurate even in low-light shop conditions. The square end drive is compatible with both a ratchet and standard wrenches or pliers, giving the technician flexibility depending on access and torque requirements.

This socket is suited for automotive, diesel, and general mechanical service work where fastener heads have been rounded off or otherwise damaged beyond the reach of standard hex or twelve-point sockets. It is a practical addition to any mobile tool set or shop socket tray used by automotive technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and maintenance professionals who regularly encounter stubborn or corroded hardware.
