Round Bolts

[Surfer]

Can anyone suggest a tool that can remove corroded rounded bolts. I tried to change out my water pump that has three hex bolts, that are totally rusted and rounded (salt curse is setting in). What can I use other than a drill and a tap. Thanks

Snap-On and Craftsman both make tools that grip a bolt head and is used in a socket or an end wrench.
These things really work.
You'll twist the bolt in two before the head will slip.
Good luck. :smash:

I think Craftsman makes a socket type tool that has teeth
inside to grab those pesky rounded bolts.
Check at Sears before you try anything that buggars it up.

Yes, this is the one I was speaking of, sorry I didn't describe it better.

Thanks guys, I'll be looking to repower soon, but the thing runs real well most times, and I'm gonna run it till she blows!

I bought that Craftsman set and it works fine and does what it says it does. Money well spent and cheap anyway. $49.00 of your dollars.
