Default Craftsman Bolt out Kit rocks!

Doing a set of headers for a friend on his 99Z. Always a snag. The rear manafold bolt was rounded off before we even touched the car. We did try to use a socket & a wrench, but they only made it worse. Sent him to Sears to get bolt extractors that look like sockets. Popped that puppy on and the bolt pretty much came right off.

the Craftsman bolt are great life savers, some dumb *** at the dealership stripped the oil drain bolt on the wifes PT Cruiser and I tried visegrips and any other thing I could think of. Sears had them on sale for $ 15 cdn and it worked first try. Great product
