which irwin bolt grip for 17mm rounded bolt?

does anyone know which of the Irwin bolt grip sets i would need to buy to try and undo a 17mm bolt? i guess the 11/16 one in the expansion pack looks the closest.

 

yep I would guess the 11/16 would be the one that would work best.

But depending on how bad the 17mm bolt is you could find your self going down to the next size

The Irwin's are a good and handy bit of kit to invest in mind you

 

Just got home, confirmed 11/16 is spot on for the 17mm

Best of luck

 

thanks, need to get the last bumper iron bolt off!!

 

Irwins have got me out of a muddle a few times at work. Great tools to have (I have both sets)

 

I need me one of those! Just spent a good two hours failing to release a 17mm wheel bolt.

 

Have you done the hammer on an 16mm socket trick? I managed to get wheels off a car in the scrap yard the other week like this that had cheap locking bolts on.

This dose work better with big deep impact sockets not the chrome ones

 

sorry, just to confirm, do i need to buy both sets, ie the bolt set and expansion set? i only need the one in the expansion set but reading the description it seems to imply you need both?

 

<Smug> I have all three </Smug>




You can buy each of the three sets separately - but two of the sets fit in the same box.

 

ok ok ok, i get the message. Although your smug answer has saved me some money.

 

Didn't know there were 3 sets! lol

 

sacrificial 12pt sockets from halfords work a treat too
