Questions & Answers

I have damaged my blade on my push mower by hitting a rod. The bolt was broken and I need an easy way to extract it. Can anyone help me?

I am writing to you (and anyone else who is reading this) because. When he said it is a good idea to get an easy out that it will thread into the hole, Vetteman's reply was fine. I assume that the threaded portion of the head has broken off, leaving just the broken piece of head. Easy to understand The bolts are not actually threaded into the broken bolt you need to drill an approximate 1.5mm hole in the middle of the bolt. A diameter that is one-half the diameter of the broken-out part A bolt with no head The threaded shaft that remains) before tapping the extractor into that hole so that it grabs tightly before turning it counter-clockwise It comes with a slot-and-die set, which can be purchased at Amazon.com or most hardware stores) to tighten onto the end of the four-fold blade. Take a two-sided extractor, and then start turning it. If you do not have an adjustable wrench or a 12-inch wrench on hand, you can use anything on hand to turn the extractor You can use a point socket that fits, a vise grip locking plier, or a regular pair of pliers you have. With the tap handle, I think you get a better grip and have better control. On the extractor, it grips equally and distributes force equally. There are two large "T" handles, as well as two smaller "I" handles when you buy a threading set. Depending on the size of the tap and how much room you have to work with, you select one of these. *SINCE you have a stub over the surface, you may be able to use this set, IF you can grab it with one of these extractors. The smallest socket in this set goes on the stub by tapping it with a hammer until it tightens up around the threaded body of the bolt, then turning it counterclockwise Will work on wall and ceiling frames and lofts With Vise Grips, turning the threaded body in a clockwise direction is usually ineffective and can chew up the remaining On Youtube, there is a video posted by Delboy (an Australian mechanic) on "Delboy's Garage" on how to remove a broken bolt if a portion of it remains above the surface, or even if it has completely broken off. A sharpened center punch can be used to start by hitting it with a hammer (gently, of course) at an outer edge of the threaded bolt shaft to loosen it. The principle can be applied if you're patient and don't rush the process, both of which apply when trying to remove a bolt or other fastener from a car. Tips for other ways to save The last stub can be broken up by hitting it smartly several times with a hammer several times. It will also break up corrosion or LocTite's hold As well as applying penetrating oil or melting a bit of candle wax into the threads, it can often be helpful to apply some candle wax down into them. I wish you the best of

Is that still going to require a rachet?

The socket is just a part of the system. The product must have a ratchet to allow it to be turned once.

Do I need to buy a new impact gun to use this?

These are three-eighths of an inch, as noted by others A socket for driving a motor. In order to fix this, you would need a 1/2"-32 hole To a maximum of 3/8" The 1/2" drive adapter allows you to use your 1/2" drive While that is the case, it would be prudent to figure out how caught the bolts are before driving in your impact. Start by working with a breaker bar (ratchet not necessary) to see if this is your best solution, then upgrade to an impact breaker if necessary. Often, most people don't realize that a hand ratchet is much less sturdy than a breaker bar when it comes to sustaining high amounts of torque. Many people, despite needing an impact gun, will start with one because they have one rather than because they believe they need one. Therefore, the breaker bar will typically be longer (from 12" to 24"), allowing you to use more force with less effort. If you require more force, start out with a lesser amount until you have a better understanding of the situation. The item should be noted if any of the fasteners (bolts, screws, etc.) are unusual in size or thread When you remove an item, you may damage it, which is hard to replace.

I Got My Results! In fact, yes! What happened was as follows Since I have changed the oil and the filter on all of my cars over the years, I was fully prepared to change the oil and the filter on my 2008 Dodge Ram
5/5

The drain cock was stuck when I tried to take it out using my ratchet/socket. I don't have any problems In the past, I have encountered this problem with lugs. I applied some WD, waited, and then used a breaker bar again. I started to strip the bolt then. The problem was that I had done it too fast. As I had been there before, I went out and pulled out more WD and vice grips. We ended up stripping it even more because it wasn't good. tried using an impact in conjunction with a bolt extractor, but it would grip and also ordered a Go2 Socket and an ARES 70016 Damaged Stud and Bolt Remover from Amazon, but both of them failed to work. The first slipped and the other fell apart. I didn't want to drop the oil pan, and heating it could be dangerous, so I thought I'd try one more tool before drilling another oil drain port. I went back to Amazon and found this product. In my experience, it did not work with an impact, but after two pumps I was able to loosen the bolt! "Yes, I agree!" It took me a while to realize I was shouting. As a result, I was able to save myself a lot of time and money, and I would encourage anyone seeking out a solution to try this product first. The swirls inside the socket trimmed down and locked onto the damaged bolt, holding on even when the light was turned off. I had to use a hammer to break.

Take a look at the pictures and see how badly damaged the nut was and how undamaged the Irwin extractor is
5/5

What makes a man right? The tools he has? It is true that the right tools can get the job done. Is there anything worse than a stubborn bolt or nut that a system refuses to let go of? During the transmission removal, I ran into a strip out of an exhaust bolt on the down pipe near the header. It had been a while since I had tried everything The oil penetrates to the edge, the heat of the mapp pierces it, and the beating to free it. Using an Irvin Bolt-grip spiral bolt extractor, I managed to get the job done! It still would not budge with a 350 ft lb impact wrench, but a breaker bar with one foot extension had the desired effect, and it came out easily. Take a look at the pictures and see how badly damaged the nut was and how undamaged the Irwin extractor is. Any mechanic would be wise to invest in this tool.

In Chinese, quality refers to This is not a heavy duty project
3/5

This was not what I expected at all. I went with this because it has excellent reviews and demonstration videos, so I thought this would be the perfect solution to remove the god awful bolt blocking my suspension from being changed. The rounding of the bolt resulted in more than just rounding, as it stripped the teeth off the sockets once it was in place. In addition, it should be noted that the bolt itself is nothing exceptional. An ordinary set of pliers can dig into the metal, which is why it is rounded. It then dawned on me that I should have been prepared for what happened since IRWIN tools took a terrible nosedive in quality soon after outsourcing their While I still believe it to be a solid tool for small fixes like repairing bicycles, you cannot rely on it 100% for tougher tasks than that, so keep a backup plan No matter what, I returned these the same day I received them as I was very disappointed as I had been awaiting the end of that nightmare of a stuck bolt with such anticipation.

It seems to be the only guy they didn't want to I was unable to get this to work
3/5

I had the same problem that so many other reviewers did - an oil drain plug that rounded when I initially tried to remove it. There was a 15mm hole in it. Despite the fact that so many vehicles come with 15mm oil drain plugs, Irwin does not have a brand of oil drain plugs optimized for 15mm oil drains. They suggest using a 14mm oil drain plug I'm sorry but it didn't work. We were not able to use 1/2. I could only get them to bite when they bit at all, but they ripped more metal off when they did. In the end, I retrieved the thing with a pair of vise grips, which were tightened with a socket wrench and brute force. In addition, since I mistakenly ordered the expansion set first as well, I now have the whole set. It would be nice if they worked for something someday. In spite of their "not working", they have a long life.

I found it to be very useful
5/5

As a result, I was saved from trouble thanks to this tool. My Honda Civic was bolted to the suspension and I used this repair kit to remove the bolt. On the lower end of the rear shock absorber, a bolt had rusted into the bushing and was frozen in. First, I hit the bolt with PB Blaster, then I used a DeWALT heavy-duty drill I put a heavy-duty impact on it, but the socket slipped off the bolt head and rounded it in its entirety. Immediately after inserting the bolt extractor tool, it began biting into the metal of the damaged bolt head and holding it firmly in place. The breaker bar was 3/8" in diameter and I was able to stand on it with all of my weight - it's pretty awesome. There are about 300 feet between the two There was no slipping, cracking, or breaking of the extractor bit under 500 lbs of torque force. It took a little bit of back and forth, but I was able to remove the frozen bolt and fix The mission has been.

There was zero drama, it worked as it should
5/5

Twist the Snap-on tip off explosively after it has been twisted The spline on another T50 socket on a cylinder-headed grade 10 socket on the inner torx T50 and twisting the splines simultaneously. To be able to break this heavy bolt (jokingly called a fillister*headed screw by BMW) I needed something that would both break it and dislodge it. There was a problem with the inner shoulders of the torx bit and Vise grips and a pipe wrench would not grip it well. With a rubber mallet, I tapped an extractor
on, attached a breaker bar, and it back-mounted out of the way sans any problems. Instead of just rounding off a bolt head, a bolt head was constructed in that manner. I saved time by using these extractors instead of having to go to the welder to have a hex nut welded on top of the screw. While they might not work in every case of a wrongly placed nut or bolt head, in this instance, they were certainly worth every penny.

Do you work on cars that are over 10 years old? These will save you a lot of time! Using these bolt extractors is a must when working on vehicles that are over 10 years old
5/5

Many of the nuts and bolts will have rusted or corroded or may even be painted over. It will gently remove the materials without damaging any surrounding metal since these extractors will grab hold of them. After I used them the first time (to remove a stuck, broken engine bolt), they paid for themselves. It was in that extreme case that I put the extractors straight onto the threaded hole of the broken bolt. The razor-sharp grip of these extractors allowed me to apply gentle but significant torque without damaging the engine's threaded hole. With that set, the blank half of the case that comes with this one will be filled. Keeping all sizes on hand is a good idea because you never know what you might need.
