Very nice video. I have been a diesel mechanic for over 30 years and I have all of those extractor tools and also have used them all at one time or another. Speaking as a professional mechanic who has removed a lot of broken, rusted and rounded nuts and bolts. You did an awesome job at explaining how to do this type of job and how to properly use the tools. Keep up the GREAT videos. Thanks!!!

This was a great video. There are countless of top 5 10 35 ways to do some mundane job like removing a stripped bolt but this is by far the best one I’ve ever seen. Just when I was beginning to loose faith with YouTube. It was refreshing to watch an actual helpful video. Thank you

As an experienced mechanic I watch these videos out of boredom, but rarely find youtubers who actually know what they're talking about. Nice video

This is one of the most straight forward and useful videos I have ever seen! Excellent work.

[williambranham]

Very helpful! I've watched a lot of videos on this subject and yours is one of the best. No comedy, no drama, no shouting, no music.

I wonder if Chrisfix knows there's a metric version of himself. Lol

Literally the most informative bolt removal video i have ever seen. Subscribed

I'v seen a tons of similar videos about this issue and BY FAR this was the best !!! No BS but straight to the point ! Kudos to you Sir !

What a coincidence! I _always_ grind the points off all the bolts on my engine right before I attempt to take it apart. All fun aside, this guy does a great job of demonstrating tools that makes the tough job a lot easier. If you only occasionally experience rounded off or broken bolts, many places like Autozone, Advance, O'Reiley's, and others allow you to borrow specialty tools and get your deposit back when you return them yielding them as essentially free to use. This was a great video. Thanks Junky DIY guy!

It has been a while since I watched an entire video like this and actually learned something really useful. Thanks!!

Good to see a video that's informative, bright, clear, well-framed, in focus, AND THAT GETS ON WITH IT, instead of pointless 'musical' intros and inane joking to the camera.

This is the most valuable video on YouTube. No, the internet. No, the world. Thank you.

[gankenberry]

i've been doing this crap for years and i thought i knew all the tricks... you showed me a ton of new methods! thanks for taking the time to make this vid!

This is absolutely awesome! That said, who had trouble understanding what he said between 3:45 and 3:55 (without playing the video over and over to try to discern his English). But that said, I had never even heard of extractor sockets! – this is a great video!

I just replaced my water pump on my 01 Saturn. 3 bolts on the pully, and 6 on the pump. All the same. Naturally I rounded one of the bolts on the pump. Did the hammer and chisle bit. Last guy that did the job did not clean the threads and over tightened them. I cleaned everything real nice and used the best bolts on the pump and the lesser bolts(including the one I chisled) on the pully to access later to replace. I also hammered chisled bolt on anvil to allow me to tighten with wrench.
This is the best instructional video on this subject matter I've ever seen. My father has passed over 20yrs ago and he was my go to guy. I've only known 1 person that exceeded him in knowledge.
Your presentation of all these newest tool developements is at the top of my list. You sir are a master. Thank you for this video.
I normally never do but I have sub'd to your channel, and of course liked.🎉🎉!
Oh, and I immediately rewatched your video and added to my saved list

Ive never seen someone with such organised tools. I spend more time searching for a tool than fixing the problem

Now that’s a dedicated Youtuber, braking stuff on his own Camry for our entertainment.

[laprepper]

5 minutes into this video and have already seen a bunch of tools I've never seen in my life, LOL

[chriswatts]

Never knew the extractor wrenches existed, glad I watch the video.
Stripped the nuts for my fan clutch I’m replacing.
This really took a load off my mind.
Thank you.

Very insightful video, and I especially appreciate the tool list in the comment!
