![]() ![]() The set comes in Metric and SAE, as well as a long 0° offset version, giving you multiple options for a variety of tricky jobs. The 45-degree offset makes it easy to get into tricky places while completing the job with the least effort. Since ratchets and breaker bars add more height in addition to the socket, which is not good when you barely have enough space to move your hands, our angled offset extractor wrenches are a great replacement for twist sockets. Then, the depth of the socket might be too deep to even allow for a ratchet or breaker bar in such a tight space. With most twist sockets, you may first need a hammer to fit the socket into the fastener head. Using a twist socket will require working with a ratchet and some extra tools. Maybe you’re thinking of using a twist socket, but this might not be the best option. Accessing that bolt is hard enough as-is! To make the situation worse, it is a rusted and rounded-off bolt. Picture this: you have to remove a hard-to-reach bolt on the underside of your intake manifold. Imagine you’re working to finish a job on a tight timeline and have a slightly damaged bolt you need to undo: with an extractor socket you might further damage the bolt and waste precious time trying to source a replacement, but with Olsa Tools’ extractor wrench you may still be able to reuse the same fastener and reinstall it securely until a suitable replacement can be found. Unlike extractor sockets which only work to loosen a fastener, and typically cause further damage in the process our extractor wrenches are able to both tighten and loosen fasteners, even if they have some damage or rounding to them. On top of that, since the design is engineered to keep the load off the corners of fasteners, these extractor wrenches can actually be used in normal circumstances and prevent rounding of bolts, whereas extractor sockets can only be used once a fastener is damaged beyond repair. Not only does this help prevent further damage to the fastener, the tool can extract up to 85% rounded bolts and nuts. While turbo sockets have an internal thread design that can dig into 50% to 80% rounded-off bolt heads, the gripping power of the 6-point box end design in our bolt extractor wrenches puts the force almost directly on the middle of the bolt head flank. ![]()
