<div dir="ltr">What about using a flare nut wrench? 10mm is a pretty common size for those. I also haven't had much luck with any of the "miracle" wrenches for rounded corners. A good pair of vice grips is my last attempt before going to the extremes of drilling, welding, etc.<div><br></div><div>Ben....</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 3:28 PM John Innis via Shop-talk <<a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I have not had much success with the "no-slip" wrenches.

I have had much success using these in tight spots. I can't find an example online but I bought a set are Sears many years ago. Basically just t little adapter that goes in the drive end of the socket in place of a ratchet or breaker bar. Is has a hex head that is very thin that allows you to get on it with a wrench. Or two. Or a 4' length of pipe over the handle of a wrench.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 1:25 PM Matt via Shop-talk <<a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net" target="_blank">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>I have a seized bolt I am trying to loosen without breaking and it is in a hard to reach location.</div>
<div>I can't get a socket on it and the 12 point box wrench I am using is slipping off.</div>
<div>I am having trouble locating a 6 point wrench (10mm by the way).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>QUESTION:</div>
<div>What is your experience with the roller based wrenches that are marketed as "no slip" and well suited to partially rounded fasteners?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>TIA!</div>
