After considerable thought, I think I'm going to buy a set of these
sockets. They're cheaper than a good electric die grinder, and given the
failure of my experiments with alum so far, I'd rather extract the bolts
whole. Most of the reviews I can find seem to be positive. I just hope
they're as effective as they claim to be, and that the lobes don't wear
down too fast.
It's a pity that Irwin don't sell their 13 piece set in the UK (and
neither do any of the American sellers want to export here). Snap-on
sell a set which looks identical at about twice the price. I was
watching a barely used Snap-on set on eBay, but it has already soared up
to a high price. What is it about Snap-on stuff? Their stuff looks
similar to tools from Facom and Gedore which cost a lot less.
I'll post a review here once I've had chance to use them a few times.
Best wishes,
Chris
