Love it, you can also use it to remove bolts with the head broke off. When a larger version is out there, I buy it in a heart beat.

I got myself into some serious trouble trying to take the head off of my small block Chevy. I thought I would have no choice but to tap and ream it... but I saw this item... figured I would try it, and MAN was I glad I did! Worked like a charm, and saved me a few hundred bucks!

I was working on my motorcycle tearing it down to fix the clutch. I had a bolt that was stripped. After asking some gear head friends on what I should do, they referred me to this Iwrin tool. At first I was a little skeptical that it would work. Initial I had to tap lightly with a hammer to get it over the stripped bolt. At first it wouldn't budge. I almost gave up hope. I pulled out a propane torch and heated the area around the bolt. With a breaker bar and the tool I was able to get the bolt out. Later as I was into the clutch itself I had to use the tool again to pull some round bolts out of the clutch.

Again it saved me time and frustration though I had to order new bolts. So thank you Irwin.
