The design helps mechanics remove seized or damaged bolts without resorting to drilling or welding, making it a practical addition to both personal and professional toolkits.
Mechanic Socket Kit Compatibility
This 16mm bolt biter socket integrates seamlessly into existing mechanic socket kits and ratchet systems using a 3/8" drive. Its form factor and drive size make it compatible with most standard ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars common in automotive repair bays. Technicians who maintain a mechanic socket kit will find this extractor useful for emergency removals and for expanding the kit's capability to handle compromised fasteners.
Ratchet Socket Set Use
Use the 84771 socket with a 3/8" ratchet or extension to access tight spaces where damaged bolts are frequently encountered. The socket's internal geometry is configured to grip irregular head shapes, allowing controlled torque application and reducing the risk of further rounding. As part of a ratchet socket set, this bolt biter complements standard sockets by addressing failures that standard sockets cannot secure.

Designed for workshop and professional environments, the GEARWRENCH - ACH 84771 is a reliable extraction tool that adds value to a professional socket set. It serves as a purpose-built option for heavy-use scenarios where bolt damage is routine. The socket's focused function reduces job time and helps preserve adjacent hardware, supporting efficient service workflows in garages and maintenance shops.
