Review on ARES 70016 Damaged Extractor Removes by Jeff Apel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great but not for 6mm

I call it a "beast" when I need to extract something. It wasn't beaten in my use. This is a powerful tool that works very well. If he can grab the bobby pin you're removing, he should pull it out. This works just like a drill chuck, but there is one of its limitations. On smaller sizes like 1/4 inch, the jaws are outside of the body, so the bolts can break near the body. Larger sizes have the jaws inside the body, requiring more bolts. to capture it. Sponges are about 10mm flush with the body. It's also large and heavy, so it can be cumbersome to use. Overall, though, this is a clear winner. 6MM STUDS although the product description says they will. 1/4 inch converts to 6mm, but the rounding error is severe here. 1/4" = 6.35mm and that difference between this job and #1 is 1/3mm. It will grip a 1/4" bolt but NOT 6mm. If you need a 6mm extractor, Lisle has a selection of good extractors.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Almost never
