grip-tite sockets/ rounded bolt extractors

[mdnelson86]

I was looking through the new craftsman tool catalog that came and saw the grip-tite sockets and now they have combination wrenches with the grip-tite box ends. Does anyone here use them? do they work well on bolts or nuts that are rounded off? I was thinking I might pick up a set to have around.

While we're on the subject, what are your favorite extractors for removing a rounded of bolt or nut?

You can NEVER have too many extractors, I buy any type when I can find a deal. I like the Cman bolt outs, never had a problem and saved me many times on nuts/bolts. Hammer them on, hammer them off when done.

Snap On seems to be the only ones that don't strip out or break on me. Plus the spiral flutes seem to be the sharpest around and really bite in to anything I throw at them.
