Gearwrench 86077 Bolt Extractor Socket 16-22mm 1/4in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 86077 is a dual-sized bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or corroded fasteners in the 16 to 22 mm range. It features a 1/4 inch square drive and measures 3.23 inches in overall length, making it compact enough for use in tighter workspaces. Laser-etched size markings stay legible through repeated use and harsh shop conditions. The square end drive accepts a standard wrench or pliers in addition to a ratchet, giving the technician multiple drive options when working in awkward positions. This tool is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance applications where fastener extraction is required.

This extractor socket fits into common automotive and mechanical service workflows where bolts have been stripped or rounded beyond the grip of a standard socket. The dual-size range of 16 to 22 mm covers a wide spread of metric fastener sizes encountered on engine components, suspension hardware, and equipment frames. It is sized for a 1/4 inch drive, compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and impact-ready drive tools of that drive size. Installers working in fleet maintenance, automotive repair, and general equipment service will find this a practical addition to an extraction kit.

Installation Notes

Bolt extractor sockets are typically used by automotive technicians and mechanical service professionals. Before use, ensure the fastener and surrounding area are free of debris that could reduce grip. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with damaged fasteners, as material may fracture under load. Follow shop safety procedures and consult equipment service manuals for any torque or removal requirements specific to the application.
