GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Screw Extractors Honored with 2022 Pro Tool Innovation Award
Sparks, Md.—It’s one thing to create a great tool. But it’s something different to create something so innovative that it changes the expectation of an entire category of tools. That’s what the GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter™ Screw Extractors have done, and that’s why they were recently named a Pro Tool Innovation Award winner. This is the latest piece of hardware awarded to the Bolt Biter family of extraction products, which continues to turn its innovative design into new and useful products for the most demanding tool users.
The annual Pro Tool Innovation Awards (PTIA) began in 2013 and are judged by a panel of professional tradesmen and trade media representatives in plumbing, electrical, MRO, landscaping, general contracting, mechanics, and building. This year, over 465 products were submitted in dozens of categories for a chance to be recognized.
“One of the things we love about GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter accessories is the understanding that sometimes you have to use the damaged fastener while you wait on a replacement,” said the PTIA review team. “Not only do GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Screw Extractors provide better bite than others, but it also works in both directions so you can keep components in service instead of waiting around for parts deliveries.”
The revolutionary Bolt Biter Screw Extractors use patented tapered sides so the tool sits easily and safely into damaged screws, while the side- and tip-cutting edges provide powerful and consistent extraction. Available in 4- and 10-piece sets, they can be used with a ratchet, wrench or power tool.
“We’re thrilled to earn this recognition from PTIA,” said senior product manager Jarrett Wolf. “The work we put into our Bolt Biter products comes directly from listening to customers and professional technicians, and they told us they simply couldn’t find a reliable tool to remove stripped, frozen and damaged screws. We went to work and created the extraction tool that works. Period.”
