Review on πŸ”§ Unlocking Power: 13-Piece Maximum Impact Bolt & Nut Remover Set by Juan Wilson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Head 5 / 8-16mm unsuccessful

I ordered the whole set just judging by the number of stars. Thought it should work. The courier gave the package, I opened it up, checked the 5/8 16mm socket on my bolt and it turned out to be what I needed. I started using it and it broke in half in just about 2 minutes from the time I received the package to the time the outlet split in half. All sockets in the set are heavy wall EXCEPT the 5/8-16mm socket. If you look at the picture in the ad, you will see that it has a thinner wall compared to all other outlets. I'm not sure who designed this set, but there's no point in making the smaller ones thick-walled and the larger ones thick-walled and making this particular one thin-walled. Really disappointing considering I was lucky my dad had a set of bolt extractors (the ones you had to use to bypass them, no drive hole) that he was able to dig out of his tool box and it worked. Surprisingly, his entire set had flat walls. same thickness. I don't know what brand they were. At first I thought I had a defect, but after further research it turned out to be just a very poor construction that makes no sense. If you buy this set, just avoid using the 5/8-16mm jack. The rest seems to work. Maybe one day I'll have to use others. Just note that the 5/8-16mm jack is pretty much useless.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
