Rounded bolts are very easy to remove with this.

Received this extractor set and I have to say it does appear to made with the same Milwaukee quality you can expect. It is color coded to easily identify the required size for the fastener that you are trying to remove. I have seen several other versions of this from other manufacturers and didn’t have much success. It would typically round over the head and make the fastener unable to be extracted without drilling. This set seems to have increased the chances successfully removing the fastener.

Very easy to install on hex impact driver. Removes stripped head or rounded screw/bolt heads. Has great taper angle for getting a solid grip on screw/bolt head or nut to be removed. Works exceptionally well with Milwaukee hex drive impact driver. Finish is matte black with size and badging laser etched. Each kit come complete with driver base and extractor sockets. Facilitates quick change and does not fall apart during use. Tool Box necessity!

Great little set for a specific purpose. You have to have the right need for the product to be useful but if thats what you need it for it will work well. They are primarily designed to remove bolts that have enough of a surface for you to grab it with this extractor. Its great for rounded heads or otherwise mangled heads. If thats what your problem is then this if for you.

The impact extractor set worked for a few stubborn bolts that I had. Our swing set is open to all the MN elements including extreme cold and heat. I was able to easily loosen and remove a couple bolts. After removing them I replaced. I did notice a little marring on the wood so keep that in mind when you are using this tool. If you are in need of extracting a bolt, this will do it but there might be a little surface damage to your material.

No complaints, I’ve used every one and they work. They hold up nicely.

I was skeptical about using these extractors, as they look funny. Nonetheless, they do their job as I found out and are VERY strong, being impact-rated. Stripped bolts can turn a good day into a bad one. They can turn a few minutes of work into a few hours. These are color-coded and labeled for quick finding. It’s healthy for the brain to be able to correlate colors with numbers, and after a few uses, they’ll be engrained into your memory. They come in 1/4″, 5/16″ (8mm), 3/8″, 7/16″ (11mm) and 1/2″, respectively. If the size you need is not mentioned in this list, that’s okay – due to the twist design of these sockets, anything close to it will fit. Nonetheless, it’s nice to have a set of the most common sizes. They come in a nice rubber mold so they don’t get lost, and included is a complementary 3/8″ drive which can hook up to any drill or impact driver, having a divit for quick-disconnect as well. The smell though, is wonderful, like burnt rubber; I’m not kidding!

If you are a ‘Do It Yourself’ kind of person, you will love this 6-piece Impact Extractor Set. It will grip and remove damaged fasteners, plus the ones that have rounded-over, or have been painted and the ones that have stripped out. Sometimes regular sized tools are just too big, that is when this little beauty can step in for you. Instead of paying someone to fix things for you, this little guy can do the trick!

Living in Florida rusted fasteners are a common problem. This tool is exactly what I needed to remove rusted bolt and hex screw heads. It’s made with typical Milwaukee quality and has impact strength. It does have a specific use. It easily grabs, and extracts rusted hex screw heads on my pool enclosure and storage shed without damaging the surrounding surfaces. I like it!!

I took these to work to try them against a different brand that we are using and I like the Milwaukee set a lot better. The sockets have a very precise design that really grabs the bolt that is stripped. I would have liked a better carrying case because they are not used as commonly as other tools, but you cannot bash them for the quality in the tool itself. I hope I get to enjoy them for years to come.

Good solid socket which had lots of bite on a stripped out bolt

I got a chance to check out the new Milwaukee Shockwave Impact Duty Extractor set (Model # 48-32-8000). No longer a professional auto mechanic, I’m posting this review from the standpoint of a homeowner/DIY’er.These extractors aren’t for removing fasteners that have broken off inside the gadget you’re working on – they’re designed for removing fasteners that have rusted or rounded off edges, or that have been painted over so many times that getting a proper socket to fit is nigh on impossible.The ‘business end’ of the extractors sort of a flower petal shaped (see attached photo) form that can be tapped over the stubborn fastener using hammer taps. The shape allows them to slide onto the work, maintaining a good grip. They’re wide at the opening, and narrow as the fastener goes deeper into the extractor. Works very well on rounded off fasteners; I haven’t given them a go on painted fasteners (yet), but if they work on rounded off, rusted bolt heads I see no reason why they couldn’t as easily be tapped through layers of paint. I rarely run into a rounded off fastener (I’m pretty careful when working on my toys) but on outdoor gear like my snow blower the bolt heads rust all too often. You’d think the manufacturers would go to stainless steel or some such, but that doesn’t seem to be the case on my gear. The wet snow and rock salt does a number on the tools and fasteners. The 1/4” and 5/16” extractors on this set are just what the doctor ordered this fall, since it’s time to get the blower ready for service. I put them on my Milwaukee “Fuel” impact driver and the fasteners came off with no issue. Normally I use a hand ratchet and standard sockets for this work and just tap the sockets on the fasteners as required, but, having the Milwaukee extractors “readily on hand” I figured I’d give ‘em a go. Very nice indeed. (Yes, they were overkill for the task at hand – but having too much capability is far better than not having enough).The extractors lock onto the adapter solidly, using the usual “ball” retentions setup and it takes a bit of effort to remove the extractor from the adapter.The set includes (1) 1/4″ Extractor, (1) 5/16″ / 8MM Extractor, (1) 3/8″ Extractor, (1) 7/16″ / 11MM Extractor, (1) 1/2″ Extractor, and a 1/4″ Hex to 3/8″ Square Socket Adapter. All of the extractors are housed in a rubberized retention holder (see photo). Unfortunately, there’s no provision for storing the socket adapter in the holder. That’s something I’d like to see Milwaukee make provision for in the future – without a place to keep the adapter there’s risk of misplacing it or separating it from the rest of the set.One really nice thing is that this set is “Shock Wave” rated by Milwaukee – I’ve had good service out of other Shock Wave bits and pieces.The extractors are color coded (which, I suppose is nice but I know I’ll never memorize the coding); better, they are also size marked in easy-to-read fonts (see photo attached). Generally speaking you’d just grab the one that’s the closest fit to the damaged fastener and give it a tap or three with a hammer.Made in China, the Milwaukee extractors come with a limited lifetime warranty (against defects in manufacturing, of course, not against normal wear and tear; to me extractors are “expendables”). Home Depot offers their own 90-day return warranty.The quality (Milwaukee’s motto is “Nothing But Heavy Duty”) is top notch, fit and finish is good and the set sells at a reasonable market price. If you’re looking for a nice addition to your kit I think these extractors are well worth considering. HTHRegards,Jim

This set is typical of a 3/8 drive extractor set except that the 1/4, 5/16 (8mm), 3/8, 7/16 (11mm) and 1/2 inch sockets are color coded and marked with metric equivalents as listed. The sockets are in a plastic holder and include a 1/4 to 3/8 drive adapter though you could just use a 3/8 drive. The adapter has no place in the plastic holder. If using the closest matching socket you have trouble getting it over the bolt, like if it’s covered with paint or whatever, just tap it down with a mallet. Once it’s on spin the bolt off.
