Craftsman Bolt-Out Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover Set —
I used to do damaged fastener removal jobs constantly, while doing direct support as an Army Machinist.
There have been some really ground-breaking extraction tools introduced by Sears/Craftsman over the last few years.
Everyone is probably familiar with the drill a hole in the broken fastener type Ezy-outs.
These new Bolt-Out sets are GREAT for removing the not quite completely gone fastener heads.
The basic bolt-out set comes in an organizer case with 5 bolt-out tools supplied.
There is room in the case for 5 MORE additional bigger, smaller, in-between size bolt outs, that come as an auxillary set, hanging right near the basic set.
These tools are worth their weight in gold, when you have ONE... ruined fastener head - that even a 6 point socket wont get a grip on.
Of course, once the bolt out is "used" on a fastener, it's time to get a replacement fastener (already needing to be done anyway).
:)
Highly recommended and an excellent gift item.
Man! I wish I had access to these kind of extraction tools while I was in the Army for 3 years.
Things would have gone so much more smoothly around the motorpool and the jobs would have proceeded even faster than with my trusty Ezy-outs.
