Extractor Set Reviews

This is the best selling extractor set - specifically for the removal of bolts and it comes packede into a neat, sturdy case. It will take out a variety of sizes and can handle rusted, painted over or rounded off bolts.

The flutes are all manufactured from high quality carbon steel and between their make and reverse spiral design they deliver a superior grip when you need it the most. The extractor's drive is a square 3/8", which makes them good for working with power ratchets, wrenches and hand ratchets and a hexagonal flat if you want to use manual tools. Versatile set and does exactly what it says in the product info.

This is extractor set is comparative to the Irwin product and it extracts bolts, studs and nuts. Locked up, rusted and painted over, it handles a variety of stuck fasteners ranging between 1/4" and 9/16".

The inner section of the extractor's uses a spline cut design to take a grip on whatever you're faced with and in terms of versatility, it beats the Irwin set. The extractor's are also housed in a decent enough sturdy case and manufactured from heavy duty steel. For my money it's the Irwin set - there's something more substantial about them but - if you want a set that will rip out studs and nuts as well - buy this one.

The Irwin 9 piece extractor set is pretty much the same as the 5 piece, the difference being you've got a wider range of extractors. They're manufactured from the same carbon steel, come in the same - though larger - robust case and they have the same ability to remove locked up bolts.

It's also available in a 13 piece set in the event that you work in an environment whereby you're going to regularly meet up with a fair variety of bolts in terms of size. You really can and will save yourself a ton of time with a set that's as well made as this one - trust me ... reaming, bashing and brute force doesn't remove rusted up bolts.

This one's the best selling screw extractor set and yup - it's an Irwin product. The theme here is that Irwin do it better - pretty much. The set if comprehensive enough to bet you out of most tight fixes - a set of five extractors and five left handed drill bits.

Manufactured from tough stuff, the extractors have the innovative Irwin spiral design going doing through the flutes and like you get with the bolt extractors - there's plenty of grip and power going on. The cobalt coating on the drill bits gives them the edge and if faced with a threadless screw - patience, the right technique and this set will provide the solution. Top quality set - great price tag.

Seems we're on the Irwin extractor set show but - if they're the best then they're the best. Fact is - they are. This time around we've got a 25 piece set that contains enough extractors for you to remove nuts, bolts, screws and studs.

They're manufactured from C4150 alloy steel, which ensures a higher strength - needed for the torque required for removing fasteners - and an all round long lasting tool. They're a USA manufacture, come in a good quality case and they're also great for the removal of pipes, torx and hey screws. Best set overall, affordable, awesome quality - and they're made in the USA!
