Tips for breaking fasteners loose

[TurboTravis]

what does it do? How does it work?

I’m glad you made this little write up. I have a exhaust housing at my garage that is held on by only one bolt. The bolt is just millimeters away from the oil inlet on the turbo which blocks me off from getting the better end of a spanner on it. At this point its pretty much rounded and I’m going to have to get the vice grips on it next time I try. Maybe I’ll have to barrow a torch first.

You insert it into a rivet gun, and turn the handle as you ‘knock’ the fastener loose. Works AMAZING. On aircraft, I’ve had to use valve grinding compound on the bit, one of these tools, tighten before I loosen, etc, all on ONE LITTLE 3/16" (#10) screw:retardclap
