Application

Rounded out fastener extraction: GripEdge G-FORS (Foreign Object Removal System) extractors feature a non-tapered, bidirectional geometry that enables full sidewall contact with fasteners. This design enables secure engagement on fasteners that are up to 100 percent rounded, including bolts, studs, socket cap screws, button-head screws, threaded pipes, lug nuts, and grease nipples. In critical applications, compromised fasteners can even be reinserted temporarily when replacements are unavailable, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Origin

The 14-pc G-FORS Broken Bolt Extractor Set, No. BBX14S, is designed to remove damaged or broken fasteners. Traditional tapered extractors cause fastener expansion, leading to thread binding. GripEdge patented technology prevents fastener expansion and thread binding. Its bidirectional design allows you to work a stubborn, stuck, or rusted fastener back and forth to break it free.
