Abstract:
1. A tool for engaging and removing a seized fastener comprising: a driver having a substantially longitudinal axis with a drive end for engaging a head of a fastener and a driven end for driven impact engagement, said drive end including a generally, substantially coaxial forward end with a collar surface generally transverse to the axis, said drive end further including a substantially coaxial, integral, impact rod projecting from said collar surface and terminating with an impact face, said impact rod at least in part generally cylindrical and extending a first axial dimension from said collar surface to said impact face; and a separate socket having an axial throughbore for receipt of said impact rod of said driver, said socket including first and second opposite end faces located at opposite ends of the throughbore, said end faces spaced a second axial dimension and generally transverse to said throughbore axis, said throughbore including a counterbore at said second face end with an axial counterbore depth surface generally transverse to the axis and a cross sectional configuration for receiving the head of a fastener whereby the distance between the first end and the counterbore depth surface defines a third axial dimension, said third axial dimension less than said first axial dimension of said impact rod enabling said impact rod of said driver to be insertable into said socket throughbore for reciprocal movement and engagement of said face of said impact rod with the head of a fastener positioned in said socket counterbore.
