I really like the quality of this Husky extraction bit set. You can hear the superior heat treatment when you clack the sockets together. I also like that the socket size is printed on the side of the socket in a large easy to read font.
The sides of the socket are tapered which grip a damaged or rusted bolt head. As you can see from the photo below a new bolt head just barely inserts. The idea is to grip the bolt tightly for removal. These are a special use tool that is indispensable when needed but not really for everyday use. Although it’s only $20 bucks (at the time of this review) it likely will be a low use tool. I also was disappointed that the two impact adapters are loose and do not attach to the socket racket, which means they are more likely to get misplaced.
About my rating:
5 stars – Exceeds all expectations. Better than the competition in all aspects, design, cost, operation, and support (A+).
4 stars – Nicely done. Better than the competition and solves the problem. (B)
3 stars – Works as expected. Has some shortcomings but gets the job done. Might be short in design, cost, longevity, or support. (C).
2 stars – Falls short of expectations and needs improvement. Pass and look elsewhere. (D)
1 star – Fails miserably. Does not get the job done, might even make things worse. Someone at the company should be fired. (F)
