The tapered internal flutes of incrementally sized Bolt Biter sockets fit snugly over stripped or corroded fasteners, gripping even the most rounded shapes to turn and remove them.

The large striking surface allows for more efficient hammer contact, transmitting more force to the fastener, while the compact handle length permits use in confined areas.
