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.
- Set includes 7-pieces: 5 metric extraction sockets – 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm and 2 impact adapters – 1/4 in. and 3/8 in.
- Tapered entry enables socket to easily seat on a damaged fastener, no hammering required
- Square drive with hex base for use with impact gun, ratchet, wrench or pliers
- Dual directional design for removing or tightening damaged fasteners
- Chrome molybdenum (CR-MO) steel for superior strength and durability
- Enables removal or reuse of damaged, rusted or corroded fasteners
- 10X longer impact life capacity versus competition
- 5X greater torque output

Did exactly what it was suppose to do.

Excellent product! Great design and solid manufacturing. Not only does this socket have thin walls to access tight recessed bolts, but the design is such that it bites deep into the fasteners and holds tight. I used this set to remove some high torque nuts and it worked great.

This Husky 7-Piece Metric Dual Direction Extraction Set looks to be great. The set includes 5 SAE sockets (8mm to 14mm), and 2 impact adapters (1/4 and ½ in.), providing for use with pliers, wrench, ratchet, breaker bar, or impact driver. The unique design of the tapered throat allows for easy placement on and removal from a fastener. It also allows for use in both directions (including left-hand threaded), a feature not seen in other extraction tools. I sometimes run into a bolt or nut that has been rounded off, making it difficult to remove. While I don’t currently have any rounded bolts or nuts to use these sockets with. I did attempt to put a good nut with sharp points in one, and it would not go in, which showed me that these sockets will grip well with one that is rounded off. These sockets will be much better than the old vise-grip way, or other methods, of removing (or reinstalling) rounded fasteners.

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.

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.

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.

I successfully removed a rounded transmission bolt that was over torqued and in a very tight spot with no other way to access it. This thing saved the day. I had already tried hammering other sockets onto it and they kept slipping off. This thing held on and I removed the bolt on the first try. Life saver.

This is an interesting product. It is made for fasteners with rounded corners that regular sockets will not work on. These fit the flats so they still will allow you to put torque on the fastener. I haven’t had the opportunity to try them yet. they seem like a good alternative to vise grips or a pipe wrench since they should not further damage the fastener.

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.

This thing did the trick!!! I had a stubborn stripped 10mm on my truck that was on a weird angle that I couldn’t reach to well. I had doubts at first but was amazing it worked so well.

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.

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

Excellent design does great job on rusted extraction, but this is a specialty tool and likely low use.I really like the quality of this Husky extraction bit set. You can hear the superior heat treatment when you clack the sockets together. I also like that the socket size is printed on the side of the socket in a large easy to read font. The sides of the socket are tapered which grip a damaged or rusted bolt head. As you can see from the photo below a new bolt head just barely inserts. The idea is to grip the bolt tightly for removal. These are a special use tool that is indispensable when needed but not really for everyday use. Although it’s only $20 bucks (at the time of this review) it likely will be a low use tool. I also was disappointed that the two impact adapters are loose and do not attach to the socket racket, which means they are more likely to get misplaced. About my rating:5 stars – Exceeds all expectations. Better than the competition in all aspects, design, cost, operation, and support (A+). 4 stars – Nicely done. Better than the competition and solves the problem. (B)3 stars – Works as expected. Has some shortcomings but gets the job done. Might be short in design, cost, longevity, or support. (C).2 stars – Falls short of expectations and needs improvement. Pass and look elsewhere. (D)1 star – Fails miserably. Does not get the job done, might even make things worse. Someone at the company should be fired. (F)
