Grip-Tite Socket Blog

Removing bolts on old machinery can be difficult especially if they are already damaged due to corrosion. You can further damage them if you use the wrong tools or the wrong method. You can speed up the removal of stubborn bolts with a special tool designed for this application.

Most people would probably use lubricating fluids or mole grips to remove stubborn bolts. However, lubricants can take time to take effect and mole grips may not firmly hold the head of the bolt. One tool that might interest you is the Super Socket. You do not need to use bolt extractors or other complicated tools. It works like mole grips but instead of using a pair of clamps to grip the bolt, the Super Sockets uses six cams. These cams apply an even force on the bolt head and give you a firmer grip. They get tighter when you apply force to the ratchet. This allows easier removal of a stuck bolt even without lubrication.
