My partner has a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, and I wanted to be proactive about maintenance, so I went to drain and refill the transmission, only to accidentally strip out the drain plug. Horrified, I stopped what I was doing (out of fear of doing more damage) and ordered a new drain plug and this RPT Hex Driver set.
I was really impressed with the results! I just tapped the hex into the damaged drain plug and carefully used my cheater bar to break loose the plug, and it came out without causing any more damage.
I successfully used it on the rear motor and did NOT damage any of the plugs on it with these RPT sockets.
This product saved me and will be what I use going forward for all drain refills of my vehicles. THANK YOU!
Had a hard time getting alien drain plugs out of snowcats for the final drive hubs. A lot of times you would cut a slot in the plug and air hammer it out. These things work perfectly and definitely did the job!!! Short stubby sockets like this is what’s really needed in the industry, the longer the sockets the more chance of having problems and half cut or stubbies would be wonderful
Machined well. Big stamped black numbers for easy identification with a bright green stripe so they don't get lost on a quality socket rail, all with Precise tolerances. Recommend.
I’ve been looking for a good set of 1/4” drive Torx bits. I work on my Mountain bikes and they are all Torx and metric hex. These have been perfect every time.
Absolutely top-tier tools. The machining, fit, and finish are outstanding, and the RPT design gives noticeably better bite and control than standard hex drivers. You can tell these were made for people who actually turn wrenches, not just for shelf appeal. Tight tolerances, confidence-inspiring quality, and they feel built to last. Price isn’t cheap, but once you handle them, you understand why. GripEdge is putting out serious pro-grade stuff.
These are awesome,one of the best purchases I’ve made recently
Bought these for motorcycle hex heads. They fit so much better than the standard Allen sets I have. Way more confidence in loosening and tightening now, not worrying about stripped heads.
If I see the hex has been touched in the past I start with the Gripedge. Very happy with my purchase.
Great quality
Bits work GREAT grips the bolts like any other but the grip is unmatched only down fall i would say is the finish paint on the bit are sloppy but none the less tool works exactly as advertised
Yes great 👍
worked great on stiped out hex on motorcycle.
Had some rusted out center cap allen's that weren't budging with standard keys. These not only got them out but didn't strip them either
Had two 8-32 screws with stripped hex heads. I could have drilled them out or used a hacksaw, but I didn't want to take a chance at marring the fixture they were in. I invested in a set of metric and SAE sets which arrived several days after ordering. I crossed my fingers, eyes and toes, hammered in the appropriate size, and much to my surprise, both screws were easily backed out! The GRIPEDGE tool saved the day and my a**!
After buying ez outs and drills to remove stripped 6mm Allen bolt in Polaris I read about this tool. Thought a bit pricey but will try it. Glad I did. First try’s lot of torque , the oil plug broke free, couldn’t believe it. Eventually will get more for the tool box. Really made my day
I have a critical pivot point in the sorting of dirty laundry for my company. There are 24 sorting stations and if one fails, they all stop. If I can't tighten, or take out and replace loose failed set screws the company looses money and everyone is watching me. After using other allen sets I ran into these. They haven't failed me yet.
Great Product. I removed 3 previously rounded Allen Plugs from the top of a forklift transmission. The products really work!
Would highly recommend. Worked great on removing set screws that was stripped on the rotors of my car. Plan on buying more in the future.
I use these tools daily and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and precision of them. I am a professional heavy equipment mechanic and I know it can be difficult to navigate outside of the comfort zone as far as tools. So many claim to be as good as such and such etc. With the gripedge line up you don't have to worry. They are 10/10 excellent down to a well made holder for the sockets themselves. I will be ordering more from this company. Very well done. Thank you gripedge
Great product fast shipping
So far they work well. I do think they are a bit expensive. I will be trying the torx drivers in the future.
These bits saved me when several others wouldn’t and couldn’t. Tried several other methods to remove rounded out Allen head bolts holding a crankshaft pulley on. Bought some special reverse spiral hex bits that supposed to do the job that only made it worse. Purchased the Gripedge set and 30 minutes after receiving the package I had removed all of the rounded bolts without slippage of the bit. They worked perfectly for me and are well worth the price.
Was able to break free rusted and worn hex bolts. Surprised (even though advertised) how well the RPT sockets held even when nothing else I had would. Excited to see how durable they’ll be over the years!
Highest quality tools you can buy.
These hex and torxs sockets that I purchased have basically replaced my standard bit sockets. They are worth every penny!!
I just received my set of Gripedge 1/4" and used them today for the first time and I was kinda shocked at the fit. There is no movement in the fit of the hex/bolt interface. Wera was my goto hex set for aluminum bolts, but now it is definitely the Gripedge. One more thing you can also use these as a regular set of hex sockets as they are not solely made as an extractor.
Just used this for the first time today to tighten some screws and it made the job so easy. No slipping at all, thank you for this quality product. So happy I decided to buy these, definitely recommend this.
removed some allens that have been sitting in salt water for 7 years
I came across a bolt that was defective (not made properly). None of my Allen wrenches were able to remove it. Luckily an ad for Gripedge tools came up in my feed shortly thereafter. I ordered a set and they arrived quicker than expected. Within a couple of minutes of opening the package I had the bolt removed. It couldn't have been any easier.
I will definitely be recommending a set to anyone else that has a similar situation.
