If you have enough access and there's enough of the bolt head left these work great. The only time they come up short is if you can't get to it with the extractor, a hammer, and a wrench or socket. It helps a lot to hammer the extractor on it first. The steel quality is great, even after working with grade 8 fasteners the fluting inside is good, and the case is great too, nothing comes out of place when moving around.

I bought this product when it was first introduced as a five piece kit. Since then it has been an invaluable tool in my garage. Forget those tools that have a cluster of pins in an over-sized socket. Simple is better. The bits (for lack of a better turn) are small and can fit into either a socket or a wrench. I used to use torches and vice grips always busting my hands open. Nut busters and carbon cut off wheels are nice when you have room, but then you have to worry about damaging the threads. Save yourself allot of headache. You will wonder how you ever got along without it.

I am a professional mechanic, and a bit of a snob when it comes to tools. After using higher end tools in my industry many of the average persons tools give just average results. What I don't like about the Craftsmam bolt out set is after just a few uses, the bits become worn out and dull and less likely to be capable of removing a stripped bolt or nut. However for an occasional user it is handy to have a set of these in your home tool box.
