These look really interesting! do you only use these to remove already fucked nuts or on the first attempt? I must of used well over 500nm of force yesterday trying to get off the nut with steelsons (steelson attached to a ring spanner attched to a huge long pole for leverage)

Those sets are a bit hit n miss with the sizes though

Might have to, although i don't think i'll ever replace anything again after this.
