Stripped Bolts Don’t Stand a Chance! #diy #tools #cooltools #automotivetools

What happens here

Once the GripEdge socket is securely hammered onto the stripped bolt, attach a ratchet wrench to the drive end of the socket. Apply rotational force with the ratchet to turn the bolt. The GripEdge design allows for effective turning in both tightening and loosening directions. Continue turning until the damaged bolt is completely unscrewed and removed from the workpiece.

Goal: Attach a standard ratchet to the seated GripEdge socket and turn it to either tighten or loosen the damaged bolt, effectively removing it from its position.
