Nut Removers

I suspect the title may be keeping some folks from clicking on this thread. I'm talking about the nut/bolt removers that look like a socket where the inside is flower shaped. I'm the newest convert. These things are amazing.



I was taking the wheels off of my wifes car but came across a stubborn nut. They are 17mm nuts. I ended up pounding a 16mm 6pt socket onto the nut and when I put a breaker bar on it, the outside of the nut became round. I remembered seeing these things before and went to HD and bought a set. Wow, I put the thing on the nut and turned and the nut came right off. Wow is all I can say.

If you don't have a set, you should get some.
