The Husky 7-Piece Dual Direction Extraction Socket Set brings game-changing innovation to the world of bolt extraction. These sockets feature a tapered throat which allows for easy placement onto a fastener and ensures the fastener will not become lodged in the socket after removal. The sockets have a patented design that allows them to grip in both the left hand (Removal) and right hand (Installation) directions, this would allow for the reuse of a damaged fastener if needed.

The husky dual direction bolt/nut extractor are a very handy tool to have in your tool box. We have all ran into a bolt head or nut that is mangled or stripped out. That where this sockets come in, they have a bit design that grabs the item where ever it can and makes it some what easier to take out. The work excellent just remember to use some penetrating oil so you don’t snap the bolt off since you’re putting a lot of torque on them.

What an improvement for bolt extraction! Back in the day, to remove a stripped bolt I had to first drill a hole then tap a special rod into it. Next, I added a special nut onto the rod and carefully tried to unscrew the stripped bolt out. Often, the rod would slip – it really was a poor system (see photo). Husky extractor sockets work great and have saved me some headaches. I definitely can recommend these sockets.

Had trouble finding this item in the stores. It is still not merchandised. It works quite well. It is just difficult to find.

The Husky Metric Dual Direction Extraction Socket Set (7-Piece) contains 5 metric extraction sockets, sizes 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm. Also includes 2 impact adaptors for your impact gun for the 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch drive sockets. The 8mm socket needs the 1/4 inch and the rest use the 3/8 inch. This socket set is impact rated. Husky provides a lifetime warranty on this set so if it ever fails, just return the piece to Home Depot and they’ll replace it free. The meaning of “Dual Direction” is that you can use this to either remove or tighten damaged nuts/heads, so if you have to put the damaged screw or nut back on because you can’t find a replacement this tool will do it for you. This is a nice set to have should you need to remove damaged nuts or screws in these common metric sizes. These can also be used with a regular socket wrench.

I bought a used Honda lawnmower. One of the blade bolts was stuck, socket started slipping – corners of the bolt were stripping. Put one of these on an 18” bar, and with a ton of force it came right off. This has great grip and I could have re-used the bolt but decided to spend $3 on new bolts and add grease to spare the trouble down the road. Once I removed the bolt from the lawnmower, it was easy to remove from the exctractor socket by hand.

The Husky metric dual directional 7 piece bolt extractor set consists of a metric 8.10.12,13,14 extractor plus 1/4″ and 3/8″ drivers. I had bolts on my garage door that had been installed with an air impact tool with too much force and the bolts were rounded off. The heads would normally fit a 7/16″ socket. I used the 12 metric extractor with the 3/8″ driver and an impact driver to remove and replace the bolts. The extractor was easy to attach and I could have used a socket wrench. The dual directional extractor allows you to remove a damaged bolt or tighten to reinstall. The set is made of chrome molybdenum steel and has a black oxide coating and each extractor is labeled on the outside with the size. The set comes with a lifetime warranty.

A bolt holding my tensioner pulley to my engine block was completely stripped. I bought the Husky extraction set and 30 seconds later the bolt was out.

The most important feature of a bolt extraction set is “grip” – while certainly longevity, ease of use, etc count for a lot, if it doesn’t have a good “bite,” it will be useless as a bolt extractor. In my experience, by the time you’ve given up trying to fit a regular wrench or socket on a stripped bolt head, it usually deformed substantially, with the top being undersized and the shoulder either normal-sized or simply out of spec. This is where the tapered inner of an extraction socket shines.I just did a simple test comparison versus my 15+ year old Lisle extractor set – could I hand-tighten it to grip a used and worn (but not badly stripped) hex bolt head? The older set, not so much – probably a result of overuse through the years. This Husky set? I had to tap it with a hammer to release the fastener.The included 3/8 and 1/4 adapters are nice, but it’s a shame they don’t attach to the holder.Will it hold up to impact wrench use? Well, nothing lasts forever – my suspicion is at some point this set will wear down just like my prior set. However, if I get anywhere near 15 years out of this set, they’ll be a terrific bargain.

The Husky SAE dual directional 7 piece bolt extractor set comes with a 1/4″ and 3/8″ driver plus 1/4″,3/8″,5/16″,7/16″,1/2″ extractors. I live right near the ocean and salt air corrodes many fasteners and they have to be removed and replaced when they get corroded. I used this extractor set as they were too far gone to use a regular socket. The extractor can be used in both loosening, to remove the bolt but can be used to tighten and reuse a bolt. The tapered flutes engage the damaged bolt head without having to hammer it on. You can use a socket wrench or what I used an impact driver which is easiest. The extractors are chrome molybdenum steel and black oxide coated. Each extractor’s size ie easily identified with the label on the extractor. The set comes with a lifetime warranty.

Worked like a charm. I was skeptical due to some negative reviews. but i used the 13mm to remove a corroded-shut starter bolt. I had rounded the edges pretty good. Make sure to hammer the socket in to get good contact on the bolt. From the first try, i got it off, but actually, i broke the bolt head. But worked like a charm, that bolt was really frozen shut due to rust.

Husky Bolt Extraction Set – Dual Directional 7 Piece Set allows you to work with either a power or a hand tool like either or a hand wrench or an impact wrench. It comes with ¼” drive and a ⅜” drive. The sockets are made out of the good stuff Chrome Molybdenum with a black oxide coating. All that is first class. The part they could have done better is etching the numbers on the sockets rather than paint it on. So I use a sharpie and mark the socket size on the holder, problem solved. The design of the socket is smart the way you can remove a damaged bolt and re-install that damage bolt. It must be done sometimes. This will do it. There is plenty of surface to use a hand tool on the six sided sockets. The simple holder works great too. You need this before you need it.

This is a well engineered set of sockets for removing tough nuts and bolts. They can also be used to drive those same bolts back in place again too.You get 1/2” 7/16” 3/8” 5/16” and 1/4” sockets in the set.The sockets all have square drives and two ¼” hexagonal drives are provided to drive them using regular power tools, including impact drivers. Two of the sockets take a ⅜ square drive and the other three take a ¼ square drive. Each socket is clearly marked with its size.The sockets have a plastic holder that hold them neatly in place when not in use. The sockets can also be rotated when on their holder so that their sizes are visible. The two drivers are however, loose.I was able to easily remove (and reinsert) a small bolt in a recessed hole.Made in ChinaLifetime Warranty

These are another handy tool to have in your tool box for the extraction of bolts and my neighbor already he would like to borrow them.This is only a 7 piece set the size on this set is 1/4 , 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 inches.You can use either a socket wrench or even power tools.They come with a 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch extension.They are black oxide coating to prevent rustingor corrosion.

Saved me from having to use a torch. Great for rusty bolts. Came in handy when removing bolts on a 20 year old truck leaf spring mount. I also had a situation with rusty toilet bolts and another time with rounded off break caliper bleeder. Overall these are a must have and make the job much easier and quicker without having to cut bolts. These are very high quality and the organization rail is very nice and easy to use.

Husky SAE Dual Direction Extraction Socket Set (7-Piece) is one of several tools to crack rusted or stripped bolt heads. This one is a design that uses slight tapered sides on the sockets to get a better grasp on the damaged bolt head end. It works to both loosen or tighten bolts, but honestly, wouldn’t trust reusing a damaged bolt unless it was to go to the store for a new one. The socket slides down on the bolt head and lodges in the socket for extra torque. For tough problems they can to be used with a hammer drill. It can be used with hand drivers, too. The set includes five sockets: 1/4-inch, 5/16-inch, 3/8-inch, 7/16-inch and 1/2-inch sockets. The set doesn’t include a case, but does have a plastic holder bar. Included are two drive adapters, 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch. The smallest adapter is for the 1/4-inch socket. Th sockets are made from high strength Chrome Molybdenum steel. For backyard mechanics this set is a lifesaver when up against a damaged bolt that is holding you up. It works unlike some others I’ve bought and used over the years. Finally, these kinds of sockets take a lot of stress and Husky has backed them with their lifetime warranty. I like Husky tools and the way they stand behind them.

So this is a great find because you always have bolts that are rounded and you can’t get them out no matter what you do. Having a tool like this will make the job so much easier to get the bolt out and be able to put another bolt in that isn’t rounded. I had a chance to use this on our trailer and it worked wonderfully. I believe everyone should have one in their tool box.

These husky dual direction Metric extraction sockets work really good on everything I’ve used them on. Rounded bolts. Rusted bolts and even got lucky and it worked on a stud I was needing to remove to replace. If you use on a stud just make sure your not planning on reusing the stud because it will damage the stud and threadsI didn’t give it 5 stars because I notice they didn’t work well when I used my 3/8’s aircat impact with these sockets. I guess because it’s spins faster then anything else I have so it was wanting to kick the socket off. Worked well with my battery powered tools and hand tools.
