IRWIN 9-Piece Metric Bolt Extractor Set (54019) - Remove Stripped, Rusted or Damaged Bolts & Nuts for Automotive, Machinery & DIY Repairs

Short story: I’ve never written a review. The product is great! Even if you’re not sure you need it, buy it.Long story: I took my car in to where I bought my tires for a warranty replacement on a damaged tire. I’m thinking it is taking too look so I look through the window to the shop. I ask the service writer why my oil is being drained. He says it is not being drained and they are doing a 10-point check or something. A few minutes later he says the technician mistakenly drained the oil to do an oil change and that they’ll do the oil and filter for free. I get the car and months later time for an oil change. I do my own. Try to loosen the plug with a good 17mm socket and it slips with no torque. By the time I’m done using a box wrench, vice grips, channel locks, hammer drill and socket, impact drill and socket the plug has no flats, it is round. I figure I now own the problem and messed it all up and I’m thinking there is no way it is coming out and I’ll need a new oil pan. I received the set today. I jacked the car up. I picked the best size extractor socket, tapped it on with no real force. I used a box wrench on the OD hex thinking I’ll really need to reef on it. I turned the wrench to loosen with very little force and it did loosen in seconds. I’ll keep the set handy. Buy it.
