Full details
This Laser Tools 19mm Damaged Wheel Nut Extractor is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to remove stubborn or damaged wheel nuts and bolts without damaging alloy wheels. Its key benefit is providing a secure grip on compromised fasteners, preventing further damage. A caveat is that it requires a separate 19mm socket for operation and a punch for removal from the tool itself. Key features include its cold-forged SCM440 steel construction for durability, a protective sleeve for alloy wheel safety, and a spiral socket design for maximum grip.

FAQs
What material is the Laser Tools Damaged Wheel Nut Extractor made from?
It is manufactured from SCM440 steel, which is known for its strength and durability.
Does this tool come with a socket to drive it?
No, this is the extractor socket only. You will need a separate 19mm drive socket (e.g., Laser Part No. 3702) to use with a breaker bar or impact wrench.
How do I get the damaged wheel nut off the extractor after use?
You will need to use a punch and hammer to knock the damaged wheel nut or bolt out of the extractor socket.
Can I use this on any type of wheel?
Yes, it is designed for use on wheel nuts and bolts, and the protective sleeve helps prevent damage to alloy wheels.
What if the wheel nut is not 19mm?
Laser Tools offers this extractor in other sizes, including 17mm (Part No. 8764) and 21mm (Part No. 8766), or as part of a set (Part No. 7920).
How does the spiral design work?
The internal spiral is designed to bite into the damaged or rounded head of a wheel nut or bolt, creating a strong grip to allow for removal.
Is this tool suitable for professional use?
Yes, its robust SCM440 steel construction and protective sleeve make it suitable for professional mechanics as well as DIY users.
Troubleshooting
Extractor not gripping the damaged nut/bolt.
Ensure the extractor is fully seated onto the fastener. Try applying more downward pressure. For severely damaged fasteners, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it time to work before attempting extraction again.
Damaged nut/bolt is still seized.
Use a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak. Apply heat if appropriate for the vehicle and fastener material. Ensure you are using sufficient torque with your breaker bar or impact wrench. A hammer can be used to shock the fastener before attempting to turn.
Extractor is difficult to remove from the tool after use.
Use a suitable punch and hammer to carefully knock the damaged nut/bolt out of the extractor socket.
Protective sleeve is torn or missing.
Replacement sleeves may be available from the manufacturer or specialized tool suppliers. Continue use with caution to avoid damaging alloy wheels.
