    Tri Wing nut Socket

    Channelock pliers pipe wrench or a multitude of other tools will work. If it’s rusted that bad those tools probably won’t hurt it much

    1/4 drive 5/8” 6 point deep socket

    What the hell is everyone’s problem with giant sockets on small drives? Just because someone makes a 2 foot 1/4” ratchet you think it’s going to work with 1/2” dr. range of sizes?

    What's the difference between these two Craftsman wrenches that one is listed for nearly ten times as much as the other?

    Can you have too much torque reversing a bolt out? If you do what happens?

    Wasn’t meant as sarcasm. I’ve taken more busted bolts out over my career than I care to with a welder or a drill. Believe me it’s going to be a ****** day when it happens
