KnarlyCarl Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I too, use the beat-on-an-old socket and hope it grips tight enough haha maybe one day i'll break down and get a set of the extractors. I've used them before at a shop i worked in, but never had my own set. At this point, i'm not missing much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 We sell those...they're decent for low-torque stuff, but chucked in a drill you're inviting disaster.They get returned a lot so I take the adapter out and throw the socket away. The adapters come in really handy, I keep one in all of my socket sets for when I want to put a socket on the impact or on a drill. Otherwise, the Gator Grip is a piece of shit in a chrome disguise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about those is that it will sort of work with very low torque and very slow...but there's too much play and it's almost always off-center so it just doesn't work. It's ok as a paper weight but it rolls if it gets knocked over. Decent knock-off as a pet rock replacement. BTW, please don't take either of our posts as jumping on you for posting that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycrossover Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 For smaller stuff I have had good luck with the Alden Grabit set. I have seen what looks identical under other brand names so I am not sure who actually makes them. It is just the opposite of the slow pitch ones we hate. It is like a conical tap that bites into a shallow dimple you drill. Many have the left hand bit on the opposite end of the tool. I can't believe how tightly it grabs on that very shallow hole. After removing screws it was an effort to get the extractor off the screw. They are hex and can be chucked in any reversable drill. They are also warranteed for life. I sent one back because the drill end was shot and they sent me another one.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
