Gearwrench 86079 Bolt Extractor Socket 22-27mm 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 86079 is a dual-sized bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or corroded fasteners in the 22 to 27 mm range. It accepts a 1/4 inch square drive and measures 3.23 inches in overall length. The socket features a square end drive that also accepts a wrench or pliers, giving technicians flexibility when working in tight quarters or when a ratchet cannot get enough torque. Laser-etched markings keep the size designation legible even after heavy use. This tool is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service where stuck or damaged hardware is a recurring challenge.

This extractor socket is intended for professional use in service bays, mechanical rooms, and field applications where stripped or rounded bolt heads must be removed without damaging surrounding components. The dual-size design means a single socket covers fasteners across the 22 to 27 mm range, reducing the number of tools needed on a job. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work performed by trained mechanics and trade technicians.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified mechanics and trade technicians as part of a damaged-fastener removal procedure. Before use, ensure the drive tool and extractor socket are fully seated to prevent slippage that could further damage the fastener head. Always apply penetrating lubricant to corroded fasteners and allow adequate soak time before attempting extraction. Follow applicable shop safety practices and torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer when reinstalling replacement hardware.
