Gearwrench 86080 Bolt Extractor Socket 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 86080 is a dual-sized bolt extractor socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or seized fasteners in the 22 to 27 mm range. Built for a 1/4 inch square drive, this socket works with standard ratchets, breaker bars, or can be driven with a wrench or pliers via its square end design. At 3.23 inches in overall length, it provides adequate reach for recessed fasteners. Laser-etched size markings stay legible through heavy use and shop grime, making identification fast in the field. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics reaching for a reliable extraction tool will find this socket ready for demanding removal jobs.

This extractor socket is suited for automotive, fleet, and general mechanical applications where fasteners have been rounded off or otherwise damaged beyond the reach of standard sockets. The dual-sized design covers a range from 22 to 27 mm, reducing the number of individual tools needed on a service call. The square end drive allows torque input from a wrench or pliers when a ratchet setup is not practical, adding flexibility in tight or awkward work spaces.

Installation Notes

Bolt extractor sockets are typically used by automotive technicians and general mechanics. Before attempting fastener removal, ensure the work area is safe and, where applicable, the vehicle or equipment is properly secured and de-energized. Apply penetrating lubricant to seized fasteners and allow adequate soak time before applying torque to reduce the risk of fastener breakage. Use steady, controlled force rather than impact bursts when practical to avoid socket or fastener damage.
