GearWrench 86193 30-Piece Bolt Biter™ SAE & Metric Damaged Fastener Wrench Insert Set
The GearWrench 86193 30-piece Bolt Biter™ SAE and metric wrench insert set extracts stripped, severely corroded, and rounded hexagonal fasteners ranging from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch and 7mm to 19mm in restrictive automotive spaces. Engineered with a low-profile geometry that is 70% thinner than traditional extraction sockets, these specialized inserts seat directly inside standard 6-point, 12-point, and spline ratcheting or combination wrenches using a high-retention magnetic collar. Outfitted with patented bi-directional gripping flutes for removing and re-tightening compromised hardware, tapered entry throats that eliminate the need for hammer seating, minus-sized increments for severely decayed fastener heads, and durable Chrome-Molybdenum alloy steel finished in corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate, it equips automotive technicians, industrial millwrights, and heavy equipment mechanics with dependable extraction capability.
Best Used For:
- Confined Engine Bay Fastener Extraction: Removing stripped exhaust manifold studs, rusted turbo housing bolts, and frozen thermostat hardware located in tight clearances where standard extraction sockets cannot fit.
- Corroded Automotive Chassis and Brake Hardware: Gripping severely rounded brake caliper bracket bolts, steering components, and rusted suspension fasteners without slippage.
- Re-Tightening Damaged Temporary Bolts: Engaging compromised bolt heads in reverse to securely re-tighten hardware temporarily when immediate replacement fasteners are unavailable.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Ultra-Slim 70% Thinner Profile: Low-profile construction fits flush inside open-end, box-end, and ratcheting wrenches to access tight clearances between chassis obstacles and firewall panels.
- Patented Bi-Directional Gripping: Dual-direction internal flute geometry grips damaged fasteners during counterclockwise extraction and clockwise installation.
- Integrated Magnetic Retention Collar: Powerful neodymium magnets hold each insert securely inside 6-point, 12-point, and spline wrench openings to prevent dislodging during high-torque turning.
- Tapered Self-Centering Entry: Guided lead-in angle slips smoothly over mushroomed and distorted bolt heads without requiring hammer strikes to seat the tool.
- Dedicated Minus-Size Increments: Includes specialized undersized increments to bite firmly into fasteners reduced in size by heavy rust scale and abrasive wear.
- Chrome-Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) Steel: High-tensile forged alloy core with a manganese phosphate chemical finish withstands extreme torque while resisting corrosive shop chemicals.
