01539 10 PCE Bolt Remover Set (9-19MM)

Very good and a fair price

I was changing the headers on my bike, and had an M8 x 25 socket cap that would not budge, and theirs no access to even see it really. Absolutely no way I was getting it out without stripping half the bike, but a couple of taps on with a hammer and the 13mm socket in this set undid it straight away. Didn't even leave a mark on the tool either, so they're definitely pretty decent quality. Handy to have a set of them for the future as well, and they're a good price. Recommended.

I bought these to help remove the sump nut from a 2003 MINI Cooper I'm currently restoring. I needed to drop the oil in order to sort a leaking sump gasket and of course, give it a service. Upon getting underneath the car it appears the previous owner / garage to work on the car had air tooled this sump nut on - to the point where the rubber seal behind the head of the bolt had flattened and was not sealing the sump - oil was leaking around the back of the nut, and the edges were slightly rounded. I set about it with a standard 6-sided 13mm socket on a 1/2" ratchet - wouldn't budge. 4ft Breaker bar? Wouldn't budge as the rounded edges of the bolt meant I couldn't get enough purchase on the bolt without it slipping. Impact driver had the same issue. Jumped on Amazon and nearly bought another non-branded set for almost twice the price but plumped for these instead - partly for the price and partly as these were all metric sizes whereas the other set was a mix of metric and imperial. Got them down to the car today and hammered the #5 (13mm) socket onto the nut. As this was so tight, I didn't fancy putting a 3/8" > 1/2" adapter in the rear of the bolt remover socket but they fit perfectly inside a 19mm impact socket. Stuck this little assembly on the end of my 1/2" Stormforce impact driver and within a couple of seconds the bolt started to move. Popped the socket across to my normal ratchet and finished winding the bolt out. The bolt was well and truly wedged into the bolt remover - I didn't fancy my chances on getting the bolt out to be honest but a bit of heat and a screwdriver hammered down the middle and the two came free. Then the best bit - the bolt was totally knackered (not that it wasn't already and a new one was pre-ordered anyway) but the removal socket doesn't have a single mark on it - the teeth and flutes are in perfect condition and I've given this some proper welly with a 4lb hammer and an impact driver. Couldn't ask for a better result. Awesome, awesome product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Buy it now! Thank you Blue Spot and Amazon - one very satisfied customer. :)

I have the snap on equivalent and purchased these as a comparison.... the snap on version are nearly 10x the price. I'm impressed by these. Did 8 out of 9 exhaust manifold completely rusted nuts and split the 9th in half. Was sceptical about these at the price. But will buy again as the set is cheaper than 1 snap on equivalent socket. Especially as snap on don't warranty turbo sockets.

Bought this to try and get a brake caliper retaining bolt off a 16 year old Volvo XC90 that someone had butchered. It was so badly rounded off and damaged I was convinced it wouldn’t work but it was my last option. With plenty of penetrating oil and by applying steady pressure it came out first time. As others have said I think the key is to apply steady pressure and plenty of penetrating oil. I can’t imagine many bolts are harder to remove than off a 16 year old Volvo brake caliper even if they’re not rounded off like mine was, so if it can do this it should manage most jobs.

I bought this to remove 4 locking wheel nuts on my car. The 17mm size worked fine and took them all off no trouble. When i came to use the set again i used another size. It broke in half straight away with no effort. Returned for refund.

I rounded off an extremely stubborn exhaust nut whilst changing over the DPF on my car. I wondered how I was going to get it off without damaging the bolt and I came across these. They did the job effortlessly, almost an hour spent previously, heating up and hammering on smaller sockets with no luck, 30 seconds with these and a breaker bar and off it cracked! Perfect addition to the tool cabinet as well for any future stubbornness.

The monkeys at the local tyre centre completely wrote off the "flower" style BMW locking wheel nut on one of my wheels using an air hammer and it was obviously some time later before I realised I could not get that wheel off - no chance of them sorting it out. I had been quoted £80 to £90 to remove one wheel nut so after looking around I bought this set for a DIY solution. I bashed on the right sized tool with a big hammer to what remained of my wheel nut (probably only 4mm bolt head available), applied careful pressure on the end of a bar and the nut came off. No damage to my alloy. Great Tool which actually does exactly what it says.

Worked like a charm! Very sturdy and exactly what I was hoping for.

bien

très satisfait de cet outil, j'ai utilisé la douille de 17 sur un boulon arrondi et très grippé, et c'est venu tout seul, de plus, la petite tige en métal est très pratique pour extraire le boulon de la douille

Le coffret est sympa, mais il ne faut pas exercer de trop grande force. L'acier est fragile et il est plutôt destiné à un déblocage facile / faible force à appliquer. J'ai cassé le mien sur un goujon de roue maté ... Service Amazon au top, échange sans rechigner.
