The socket type with the swirly looking opening (which is what I think stang976 is talking about) is a life saver. The easy out sets... well... they suck. hehe

just go to the tool store and ask for a stud remover. its a ratchet extension that wedges the stud in it to turn it out.

Me too. Great product, and I have to add that they are very durable.

I had a tranny mount bolt that wouldn't come out. I broke 3 sockets on it. 1 craftsman, 1 Kobalt, and one el cheapo impact socket. After all of these broke, the bolt was pretty much completely rounded off. Bought this set and put it on a 1/2 breaker bar with a 2 ft cheater pipe and the bolt came out and no broken parts. That has been the only time I used the set, but it more than paid for it.

if you have a welder, weld a nut to the end and just take it off with a wrench, this also works if you break the head off of a bolt in something.
