IRWIN HANSON BOLT-GRIP Professional Industrial Set

I am a very amatuer mechanic, collector of classic and racing cars, and have a large property that I maintain with several tractors a riding mower and a UTV so I have a lot of maintainance, repair, and restoration to do. I have made it a policy to do as much work as I can by myself rather than paying a professional to do it. If the job is beyond my capability then it goes to the pros, but if it is for lack of a tool, then I buy the tool and do it myself. Such is the case when I went to change the oil on a tractor only to find the drain plug was rounded off. After considereing several tools I decided on the Irwin Industrial Tools 13-Piece 54113 Professional's Industrial Extractor Set. PArtly because of several preceding good reviews, partly because the price was excellent, partly because of the number of extractors, and partly because it is a professional quality tool. The day it arrived I extracted the offending plug. Easy and no problem. I expect to use this tool only occassionally, but when I need it it will save a lot of wasted time. Seller shipped promptly and included a "gift" with the item.

this tool is built good and helped me to remove a broken bolt. recomend

This was my last chance to remove a rounded oil drain plug on my Suzuki SX4 before considering drilling out the plug. It look less than one minute to remove the plug using this tool, with no damage to the tool. I'm pleased to have this as a backup for future bolt removing problems.

Works great on stubborn mangled nuts, bolts & studs. After seating the tool properly, the grip strength is amazing in the unloosening direction. The durability of these extractors is phenomenal. I used one and couldn't even tell which one I had used!! With a good variety of sizes to complete most removals one would encounter. The 3/8" drive on the back could be better suited if it were 1/2" on the larger sized ones.

I'm in the middle of a mondo brake job on my 2010 Mazda 3 with 159K miles in New England. I'm doing calipers this time along with rotors and pads. A 14mm bolt for a cast caliper bracket-hanger froze, and its nut-head started rounding under force. Heat from a plumber's torch didn't work to help it along. This 14mm-9/16" extractor socket did the work instantaneously. Bolt out. Bracket off. I like that there are 2 options in turning these sockets- 3/8" square drive and a hex rim you can put a wrench on. I think the Rocket-Socket business of "oh the hex rim gets in the way, ours are slim line all the way down the socket wall!!" is hyped bs. These aren't cheap. I read a lot of good reviews here. I was tempted to try the even more expensive SK Turbo socket set at $141 special sale. I stayed with these based on the reviews. Interestingly, there was one YouTuber, happy guy, who reviewed a bunch of bolt extractor sets(Irwin, Rocket Socket, Gearwrench, SnapOn, etc.) for 2022 I think it was. And he broke one of these Irwin sockets. We'll see. I was impressed though.

BEST BUY!!! Every Mechanic needs this set!! This set should be in Every Mechanics toolbox!! Irwin makes them for the big tool companies and rebrands them to that company's name. Honestly one of the better tools I can review and suggest to anyone, for the DIY'r in all of us even for the pro who makes a living with tools like this and for weekend hobbyist you should really consider having this tool, A really Great BEST BUY. And at this low price on Amazon you will Save Huge!! Top of the Mark Tools!! Very Strongly Recommended!

This extractor set is a lifesaver and will save me a lot of money. I thought I would have to buy a torch to get a few bolts out, but this set did the trick along with patience and penetrating oil. Highly recommended for any DIYer as you are going to encounter rusted and stripped bolts someday anyway.

These items were by no means cheap. However, they got the job done. I had stripped hex bolts on my front end hub of my isuzu 4x4 double cab. The local mechanic recommended that I go and have bolts welded and then remove the stripped bolts. I ordered this item. I used an extended breaker bar and sure enough broke the two bolts that were stripped free. As it turned out the prior mechanic had filled the bolts with hardex gasket maker all over the bolts, etc. The bolt removers instantly grabbed on and pulled the bolt right off. You get what you pay for. I highly recommend this product. I would recommend getting all of the bolt strippers and not the abbreviated version which is cheaper, because guaranteed you will need the one that does not come with it.

It works as advertised. I rounded off my oil pan drain bolt after some hack mechanic used an impact wrench to tighten the bolt at Jiffy Lube. The 17mm socket gripped perfectly and the bolt came out with a breaker bar. It's worth the investment!

Es una muy buena opcion cuando tienens problemas con tornillos o tuercas dañadas, incloso cuando se descaeso el tormillo que se queda un poco de cuerpo de la rosca por fuera.

Fantastic product, make getting rounded or frozen nuts/bolts off very easy. Hard to find in any retail shop but super easy online. Thanks

What a great product. The person who changed the oil on my wife's car rounded the sump drain plug. The picture shows the state of the plug. Just hammered the closest tool on to the head of the bolt. Long torque wrench on the tool. A lot of force and the plug was out.

Chisel and hammer worked
