They look kinda like a socket with curved blades, looks sweet as hell. Dunno if it works or would just round it off perfectly. ---

ive only tried them on pretty rusted hardware, and it just chewed them up. if its just stripped and still kinda clean…i could see them working. ---

I have the Irwin ones (thanks Jagermiester) they work great, just used them last week, broke off a grade 10.9 stud with them, great to have around. ---

Yes, they are one of the best tools that IRWIN makes (IMHO). The crafstman Bolt out is made by IRWIN and packaged under the craftsman name. The difference between the craftsman bolt out and the IRWIN Bolt grip is that the IRWIN ones (blue & yellow packaging) have a square drive so you can attach a ratchet directly to the boltgrip. The craftsman bolt out requires the use of a socket over it. Everything else is the same, just different set sizes. For best results knock it on the bolt with a hammer. Provides a good bite. I love working for a tool company…🙂 ---
