When the edges of the removal socket bites into the fastener, it will produce sharp burrs in the hexagonal part of the screws. Users should be careful not to cut themselves on the burrs.
NBK has released a set of sockets that can remove hex-head bolts and hex nuts with damaged corners and that cannot be removed by conventional tools. Metric Carriage Bolts
The SKEK-SET — Stripped Hex-head Screws/Bolts Removal Socket Sets are easy-to-use and ROHS2-compliant.
The spiral edges inside the socket firmly bite into, ensuring quick and simple removal of hex-head bolts and nuts with damaged corners. The sockets can also be used for screws with round heads so long as the edge fits and properly bites into it.
