Grip-Tite Socket Blog

A lot of people have probably encountered a rusty bolt and removing it can be difficult. This is because the rust expands and causes the threads to merge together. You should try removing as much rust as possible before doing any removal techniques. This makes the task easier and safer too.

When removing a rusty bolt, you should be patient and careful because if you try to forcefully take it out, you could hurt yourself or damage other parts. You can use a steel brush to remove the rust from the bolt and nut. However, this can be time-consuming and takes a lot of effort. It would be nice to have a tool that eliminates the need to brush away the rust and the use of lubricating fluids. One tool you might be interested in is the Super Socket with Advanced Camming Technology. This socket functionas as a conventional socket, a bolt extractor, and and hands free bolt starter. What makes it efficient in removing a stuck bolt is the cams move inward as you apply more force to the ratchet. That means the socket won't slip even if the bolt is really hard to turn.
