easyout type sockets

June 10, 2005, 10:27:11 PM

i picked up a set of those sockets you use to remove bolts with sripped heads on them.
those things are really worth it, they grap on anything ready to be twisted out so i suggest everyone atleast buy the small set sears sells for 9 or 10 bux, its got 5 pcs that cover about 8 different sizes.
you dont use a ratchet on them, you place the socket on the bolt head and then use a box in wrench to twist. I recently became aware of this an now they reside on my wall in the shop.

no they look like a spiraling cutter that gets progresivly (sp) smaller inside. As you turn the socket it digs down applying more force making it nearly imposible to slip. The gator thing has a bunch of pins that can break off.

Somebody needs to pass him a beer so he can calm down and stop yelling.

They don't let you yell in Autozone do they?

That's what the test/suggestion forum is for. You can't tell when your caps lock is off? There should be a little light on your keyboard somewhere telling you whether it's on or off.

Anyway, back to topic...

Those tools rank right up there with the wheel and such other great inventions.
