Matt, I have had limited success with the "Metrinch" set. It's actually a GREAT set of tools and way high quality for the late night infomercial that it was sold on in the early 90's. But they quickly disappeared. They seem to have the same sets here https://www.metrinch.tv/ now.

But the outside of a rounded nut isn't the problem in many cases, it's that the inside is somewhat fused together. That is why I only had limited success.

I recently got this, and I wish I had one YEARS ago. No bolt can defeat it. The leads are flexible so you can make it fit into any area.

It might be a little pricey at first, but the first stud that you can remove without it breaking in the head it more than pay for itself!

I have a seized bolt I am trying to loosen without breaking and it is in a hard to reach location.

I can't get a socket on it and the 12 point box wrench I am using is slipping off.

I am having trouble locating a 6 point wrench (10mm by the way).

 

QUESTION:

What is your experience with the roller based wrenches that are marketed as "no slip" and well suited to partially rounded fasteners?

 

TIA!
