Found yourself with a rounded bolt?

For the sake of a tenner that's a no brainer in my eyes. Just ordered one up. Will undoubtedly come in handy and a good thing to have around. Cheers!

Pet hate on anything is when a part has been replaced but mangled fixings get re-used - they cost almost nothing to replace! 

And yesterday was that day - had three bolts on an exhaust manifold heat shield that were corroded on. These got 2 of them out like a dream, chucked some plusgas on them, bit of heat, then they came out beautifully.

(Only issue was that I'd forgotten about them until after having sheared off bolt number 1... drill and tap time...)

Glad to see these work.  I ordered the same cheapo set about a year ago 'just in case'. I'm guessing like a lot of folk after being caught out, the first thing I do afterwards is go and source the correct tool for next time.  I've not yet needed them mind.

I do also have a sheared bolt stuck in a wheel hub, but that's a different challenge...
