try something other than craftsman. maybe spray it with PB Blaster or WD40. try using a breaker bar. craftsman arent known for their highest quality. they are alright for the DIY person, but if you mean business, Snap-On, MAC, Matco are the way to go.

Craftsman tools are lifetime guaranteed. When they break just take 'em back to sears and get a replacement. FREE
And if they're jerks and don't want to give you a replacement, just beat them with the old one!

try something bigger than a 1/4 drive. Get a 3/8'' or 1/2'' and use a reducer if necessary.

Yeah, and get a long breaker bar if you use one. It'll give you more leverage
