For all the stuck bolts encountered in your life(long)

So I took the advice of the board regarding my rounded off drain plug, 1990 9KT. One guy told me to file the plug down a size, but that in my opinion is impractical, not enough room down there, and would take forever and probably turn out to be a pentagon. So tried the vice-grip trick, and all that did was make the hex-plug rounder, but with rough edges now. So the last and final option, and if this didn't work, I would have to slink to the mechanic, tail between my legs, and say "Look what I did." The Craftsman Bolt Out. This set cost me 20 bucks (actually 10 because I got a Sears card) and is worth every penny. I put it on the plug, had my breaker bar, and got ready for the struggle. It dug in like a hot knife in butter, and the plug was out about 20 seconds later. It worked as advertised and I recommend it without reservation. Thanks to the 9000 board for all the suggestions, never would have thought of the bolt out.
