My old set of Craftsman bolt extractors were the best I've ever used, but when I needed more sizes the new stuff I bought from Sears was junk. I suspect they make them in China now or something, but they're absolutely useless. I returned the first set thinking it was a fluke, but the replacement set performed just as badly. After asking around, several people reccomended the Irwin-Hanson extractors. These things might be better than the original Craftsman set I treasure so much.

I rounded my acorn lug nuts on my Lumina and these bad boys pulled it right out. I got mine off Amazon for a great price of like $40 for the 17 piece kit.

I've used the Craftsman bolt outs and they work great 14pc set of a mix of common standard and metric sizes runs you around $49.99 retail. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952062000P While these look nice, I can’t see that they’re any better quality or construction than the Craftsman bolt out sets they have at Sears for around half the price.
