Rusted bolt removal tip

[PhilW]

I'm sure that most people on this forum are pretty good at removing rusted nuts and bolts. However I bought some bolt removal sockets at the start of my resto and they have got me out of so many holes, its untrue.
So I thought that I would share the knowlege on the forum as this may help others.
I have posted images below of the Irwin sockets and they so far have been 100% successful at removing rusted and chewed up bolt heads that I would have been struggling to remove without grinding them off.
One of the best bits of kit that I have bought in a long time, from Amazon BTW;

I will be looking for one of these to remove the sump plug on the daily. And yes I overtightened it myself.
Thanks Phil.

I may as well throw this link in I discovered today. Its for working with brake lines in case anyone gets stuck.

I could tell you lads a story about how far I went to find a brake line once,
but you's would have me committed!
