17mm Bolt Extractor Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, Spiral Cut Teeth, CR-MO

Brief Overview

This is a single 17mm bolt extractor socket designed for the critical task of removing rounded-off, stripped, or otherwise damaged bolt heads and studs in automotive and industrial applications. The spiral cut tooth design provides aggressive grip engagement where standard sockets fail. This extractor works with both metric spanners and 1/2-inch drive ratchets or breaker bars, making it a versatile addition to any professional shop. For broader coverage across multiple bolt sizes, consider pairing this with a complete spiral-tooth extractor set in various sizes or a 12-piece damaged bolt extractor kit with multiple drive options.

Key Features

• Spiral Cut Internal Teeth: Aggressive fluted design bites into rounded bolt heads, providing positive grip and extraction torque
• Chrome-Molybdenum (CR-MO) Construction: High-strength material resists deformation under heavy load
• Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant protective coating for durability in harsh shop environments
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and socket extensions
• Metric Spanner Compatibility: Can also be driven with a 25mm or 38mm metric wrench for additional leverage options
• Single-Piece Heavy-Walled Design: Robust construction engineered to withstand impact and high rotational stress
