As a machinist I thought I had heard and tried about every form of bolt and stud removal possible but that one of wreckinballs is a new one to me! I can totally see that being a major time saver... adding it to my bag of tricks! Thx for sharing wreckinball

no prob bro, i have it perfected too, dont use the jb weld in the tubes, use the putty that you knead together, way better for when it is still on the vehicle and emergency repair. Knead a little ball as per directions and you dont have to worry about the oil it will just press in and remove when cured, way faster with the putty.

Those pittsburg wrenches they have comes in 3 grades the best ones are suprisingly good. Ihave a 20 ton air jack from there that has been good and they have a good test light better than most, so some of their junk is pretty good.

Ya starmilt you can get good tools from HB, just gotta pick and choose. I buy their 1/4 air ratchets for work, we have job that requires loosening and tightening 420 10-32 socket head cap screws about 4 times per shift.... air ratchets from HB have held up as good as $200 IR's. We wear them out in just a few weeks no matter were I get them from so the $19 ones are the best way to go.

The 3/4 and 1" chinese sockets actually hold up really well even on impacts, but the ratchets are strictly junk so I have snap on and williams(old) for the big ratchets.
