Grip-Tite Socket Blog

Removing broken or damaged bolts can be tricky. You can use common tools to take it out. However, it can be difficult and less efficient. A better way to remove stuck and stubborn bolts is by using a specialized tool.

You have various options when it comes to getting rid of damaged bolts. You can try using lubricating oils and locking pliers to firmly grip the bolt head. This method is only effective on bolts that are stuck and the head is not rounded. If it is already rounded, it can be difficult to remove. It is advised to use a specialized socket that can grip the head even when it is rounded. A good example is Grip-Tite Super Sockets. These sockets can firmly grip even on rounded bolt heads because of it specially designed locking cams. The cams grip the head tighter as you apply more force, allowing you to loosen the bolt. They are also useful on situations when you need to tighten a fastener on difficult areas. The cams prevent the fasteners from being dropped on hard-to-reach places.
