Turbo socket saved the day...

I don't use my SK turbo sockets often, but when I do they really do save the day.

My son was taking the axle out of his quad and really stripped the sh!t out of 2 of the bolts, and they are in there so no vise grip or plier trick gonna get them out. I shined the light in and looked to see the 2 rounded bolt heads, after trying a couple turbo sockets to see which felt the tightest I put the butterfly impact on it and the first one came right out, I had to go to the vise to get that bolt out of the socket, next one came right out just as smooth and came out of the socket with the pliers and reverse on the butterfly impact..

Then he thought he was going to get it back together for tomorrow, the bolts are weird, they are around 3/8 shank 2-1/2" long but have about 1-7/8" of smooth shank before the threads, So he went out trying to find them, he texted me if I think we could grind them back into a smaller size or slot them, lol.. I told him thats not how we do things and we can order them Monday...

His next trick was to bring me take out from a local restaurant, chicken marsala that I love, and asked me if he could take my quad to the trail tomorrow, the kid is slick, lol...

But anyway, if anyone is in the market for a stripped bolt socket, the turbos should not be over looked, I have the 4 sets plus the 2 wheel lug sockets...
