GearWrench 84784 - Bolt Biter 28-Piece Impact Bolt Extractor Socket Set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If there was ever a “I hope I don't have to use this tool” you are looking at it. I could stare at them all day and wonder how good they really are or I could test one. Unfortunately (fortunately) I didn't actually have a stripped bolt, but I remembered I had to use an extractor to remove some oil pan bolts a few weeks ago, I wonder how well these work on putting the bolts back in as promised. I live in the North East... all vehicles rot from salt. I was replacing a oil pan in my truck and needed to remove the bolts. I'd say about half the heads stripped and needed extraction. I replaced all of the bolts with new. I went and found the stripped head bolts in my “bolt bucket” and brought the truck in the garage. I pulled out the perfectly good, brand new bolt and tried to replace it with the worst looking stripped out bolt. As soon as I found the correct socket and test fit the bolt head, I knew I wouldn't have a problem. I was able to give it full torque + 60 degrees (from the manual) without an issue. Nobody likes to re-use stripped bolts, but sometimes on a Sunday night, you have no choice, nice to have options like being able to install a stripped out bolt. The other feature I like with these is a the minus size doe each socket, it's gets you that ½ step down if the bolt head is really rounded off or rotten. Highly recommend having these and hoping you don't have to use them.
