How do you get one out that is totally rounded off ? I’ve tried the extractor sockets and they just round off as well. The next size smaller extractor won’t hammer on

[matthewstump]

I tried an extractor and it just continued to shred that bolt. Someone freaking put it on with a torque gun. It's way too tight.

Thanks, rounded my own drain plug and was hoping I wouldn't have to pay a mechanic to fix it

[NewsAsItHappens]

I bought this set. Works great. Thanks

I just finished smashing a 12 on and it worked.

Why do none of these kits include a 15mm socket? they all skip from 14 to 16.

The problem I have is that it was so tight even an impact drill wouldn’t get it out and wound up stripping. Even if I was able to grab it, it still won’t work.

I need a 19/32 and the kit doesn’t come wit it

it's NOT rounded if you can atach something to it.... also you are lucky that bold is from good metal..sometimes it's aluminum and you cant do nothing! it just too soft
