Scotty Kilmer scotty its a brand called grip tight and a brand called gator grip socket and wrenches that is very similiar to it, and craftsmans got a brand that similiar too and u dont have to turn a bolt with a screwdriver and pliers to torque it on and take it off, try one of these and make a video and tell me what u think.

[@jrgarcia4096]

Scotty Kilmer do A video of broken screw that stuck I have that problem right now on my Saab vavles

[@ralphalvarado6155]

Scotty Kilmer Hi my name is Ralph I was watching this video, I am trying to find the way to remove a rounded oxygen sensor long short story a new customer call me today (mobile mechanic )since he took the car to a certified mechanic shop and charge him $700 dollars to change the sensors and try to change the o2 sensors and guess what the mechanic told the customer the sensors were replaced but the problem still persists and guess what the super duper master knuckle head mechanic round the sensors and still the same old ones in the cars. Oh by the way the customer's son found about the scam before the came to me and he is only 13 years old how about that. So customer told me the long story . I couldn't believe it how some mechanics have the nuts to do that . But the best part is I have little to no room to work is a Nissan frontier 2002 v6 so the downstream sensors are burried between the cats and tranny I could only and maybe fit a pair of pliers to try. I hope everything is ok and have a blessed day .

[@kingofrandom9504]

I don't know see a link for common sense can I buy that at harbor freight or napa

[@aurvaroy6670]

I wish Scotty kept making more videos like this. It's more entertaining and useful than q & a all the time

[@bobdefalco]

This is seriously my favorite channel on KZbin! Keep it up, Scotty!!

[@alexlaverick6111]

Most rounded nuts and bolts aren't close to being accesible for that socket to get at.

[@Viper87th]

+alex laverick so ????? idiot..... its better to HAVE this tool rather than not ? But,, hey, someone ALWAYS have to be a assh,.,...

[@Viper87th]

IIproductionsII hehehe you proof it again.you must be a bitter poor guy, poor you, I pitty you ;)

[@scottykilmer]

How can a person be a bundle of sticks? (look it up)

[@RyanConroyMusic]

It's a cool idea. But the space where I need it is maybe too tight.

[@TomJones-hi2wb]

Scotty Kilmer lol 👍

[@VideosMilitary]

That's when I pull out my Torch. Can't be stuck if it's liquid 👍

[@gsg9angel]

scotty kilmer is a great mechanic, very pleasant. love all his videos saves you a fortune.

[@revenez]

A simple, effective and thus very very clever idea. Thank you!

[@monkeymenso]

That is a good gadget, but i think it would only work in places where there is plenty space.

[@JrPlayzZelda]

Exacly what i thought

[@cosmic8544]

Looking for a tight space version. I cannot find anything that will fit in the spot I need it to.

[@babywueso]

@@cosmic8544 need a 6mm extractor for trolling motors

[@1218lilrobeddie]

Scotty you are the man !!I've been learning a lot from watching your videos keep em coming . thank you for the info .

[@MicrosoftCPU3]

I just found the holy grail

[@BourneAccident]

Scotty, Just bought one. Great tool and thanks for making this video. Also, Eric the Car Guy did a review as well, but you talked about the two types of metal the tools are made from and that's what sold me.

[@jimpinckard7891]

Scotty, it's amazing how little some people seem to appreciate your help. Some just want to criticize you and belittle you and all the while they're just doing it to themselves. I for one do appreciate your videos and help. Many of them have been a big help. So, from me to you.......thanks a bunch!!

[@cridgeway50]

Man you've helped me a ton over the years. You're great Scotty. Thanks.

[@nw8000]

I bought Two of these sucker5 because of your video. One for me and one as a present. Thanks Scotty.

[@electronicsNmore]

Love the tool, but they should have used a grade 8 fine thread hex bolt instead of a slot screwdriver to hold the nut secure.

[@thomaslam6821]

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks Scotty!

[@FutabaKIKS]

What a useful little tool to have! Thanks Scotty!

[@migthymax9]

Scott you are the best mechanical engineering on KZbin!

[@eorchestrator]

Thank you Mr. Kilmer for the video. I just purchased one of these.

[@matiasalarconmillan1687]

Holy cow just what I needed. I was servicing my brakes when I found that the slide pin of the caliper was... rounded! Damn pre-owner. The same day I found this jewel I didn't doubt in order one to Chile, South America. Thanks a lot Scotty! you are awesome pal.

[@parallelburrito]

Nice tool. My other favorite tool for removing stripped nuts and bolts is my welder. Works magic and saves a lot of time.

[@martincarrillo4948]

you the best scotty kilmer, yo i still couldn't ding your brake booster replacement video

[@dslynx]

More awesome information from Scotty Kilmer!

[@thomayanh9932]

Thanks for the video, love watching your channel

[@IGotYourBack91]

Very clever invention, I will grab one myself.

[@jchrisiciplan]

Watched this one with my son & we did laugh ! (AND I learned something). You're great Scotty.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Wow, what a tool. Every mechanic should have one of those, cool stuff.

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

This is absolutely GENIUS.

[@TheI465]

Thank you so much. I was about to buy a whole new wrench set.

[@nw8000]

I bought Two of these suckers because of your video. One for me and one as a present. Thanks Scotty.

[@evanmcroberts5427]

I love your videos Scotty! You are too cool!!

[@Nikiaf]

This is a really smart idea. So much better than cutting the bolt off along with the thread.

[@nchilo]

Thanks Scotty this is a great tool, I'll buy it right away!

[@jonnyenough1531]

Having been in machining 18 years, removing bolts is typically easy, Drill through the head to the major diameter of the thread til it comes off, then a small screwdriver and back it out. Right now I have a rounded lug that I will be using a bolt extractor that goes on the outside of the lug

[@ThrashForceOne]

Thank god for inventive minds. I really have to buy one of these!

[@TheBrownGarage]

such an amazing but simple tool, how did no one come up with this before

[@handmaidmd]

This sounds like a must have!

[@johnmorris6479]

I'm in the middle of rebuilding a 7M-GTE and I keep coming across rounded bolt heads. I had no idea something like this GO2 Socket exists. I just ordered one! Thanks for the info Scottie!

[@AMadrigal72]

John Morris quick question how did this tool work for you. I'm in the edge of buying it

[@crumplezone1]

If you watch Scotty without a smile on your face then you have a problem :)

[@frankmuccino1812]

Scotty, thank you, this worked great. Oil plug was stripped and I was desperate, then I saw your video on this Go 2 socket. Wow,, worked perfectly. I cant thank you enough.. Seriously,,,, you bailed me out...

[@gatrwrksMarshall]

Great video Scotty!

[@Tacomaholic]

Scotty Kilmer for President 2020.

[@filibertovargas8354]

gracias señor i love your videos

[@martinlefebvre5005]

Awesome tool scotty

[@vicentetorres1880]

Excelent information scotty

[@wampanator]

I got one of these and it worked like a charm.

[@pikeking59]

Im chucking out my socket sets and Im using the 'go to socket' every time from now on !!

[@Landaux]

Thanks!! Im gonna order and give this a SHOT!

[@uptownsfinest1598]

Finally come to realize when I need to know something about a car not to ask anyone just look up one of Scotty's video

[@davidsquall351]

Ill give it a try, Looks handy.

[@JrPlayzZelda]

You're the man scotty

[@maybedos]

Scotty is FIRE.

[@x-man5056]

I like it. American ingenuity. Very clever.

[@MazdaBass971]

Ive head of that tool, I do agree its really amazing.

[@InspiratinTemptation]

Thanks Scott!!

[@LazyScoutJace]

That's really cool! I need one!

[@jokerbookshop]

Thanks Scotty. I used to torch them rounded bolts off, now I'm just going to use this tool.

[@XTheJenovaProjectX]

The awkward pause before the cut away at the end of every joke is amazing

[@Macros1971]

Pretty cool device!

[@carfunable]

Thx for the great tip, its a awesome product. I hope the make it available on ebay soon so the rest of the world can buy it aswell!

[@7477238]

I think Scotty is just the host. It's his cat that's doing all the hard work behind the scenes ;)

[@ultramanxk7]

Scotty is a freaking genius!

[@JuuzyFruit]

ok fuck the rounded off screw getter off thing, this guy is cool as hell.

[@thymother5076]

Sometimes i just put duct tape around the bolt. That usually helps it grab on to the wrench better.

[@maeskanaofficial7595]

Here we Go Nothing Duct Tape Can't Fix

[@aprild4906]

I'll have to try that. I've tried just about everything

[@bigstep9276]

Didnt work for me

[@RN-hx1rs]

I love this guy's videos but I just love the look on his face after he says "REV UP YOUR ENGINES". Always cracks me up.

[@HJBounell]

not a bad idea, looks handy in spaces where it will fit. At the same time the internally fluted socket style work pretty darn well. I'd still be grabbing one of those first.

[@srothenberg07]

Cool video, very ingenious idea for a tool. I actually purchased one because of this, I always seem to run into seized brake caliper bleeder screws. I'll give it a shot next time.

[@interludo]

Great to be a famous mechanic on tube innit! That tool is like an epiphany for me who only ever had cars that were decades old... hope its affordable too

[@nivaanrabikissoon3208]

Very handy tool

[@heathcox1286]

Cool idea

[@cuda861]

Nut and a welder, best combo ever for a stripped head

[@ja-no6fx]

haha i love the sound u make when u turn a wrench... rgraahh!

[@smithraymond09029]

"Easy out" socket works great too.

[@King-og4hp]

.thank you u are the best and i always come to your channel if have problem

[@jerrypurdy1162]

Yes Scotty I just want to thank you for the tip on my Dodge 86 pickup truck it worked now it's charging perfectly and I'm not having no trouble with thank you very much signed Jerry Purdy

[@lindsey607]

BRILLIANT! 👍👍👍

[@The247th]

For the price, its worth having it. There's always that one bolt/nut that just effs up your day!

[@shellykennedy5427]

This is freakin' BRILLIANT!!

[@dredger9mm]

That thing is absolute genius!

[@thegeth4293]

its basically an adjustable wrench for sockets. simple but much needed

[@ferrismac]

A turbo socket from H&B Products in Chicago is a good alternative for tight fitting spaces. The sockets are machined with 12 grooves in the socket head to grip the rounded nuts/bolts.

[@Alexscott100]

Cool tool I need to get one

[@Storm88000]

Scotty rules!!!!

[@OzarkPilgrimX]

Hey Scotty! Love your videos! I was wonder where you get your blue rubber gloves at! Thanks so much.

[@JSchrumm]

But Scotty you already had that pair of vise grip pliers.

[@StreetMisfit]

James Schrumm 😂😂

[@reconnaisancesapper]

I have a set of 4 plumbers wrenches that shall take care of any nut job going. They are especially good for taking off completely rounded up nuts where not even the corners are there any more. Excellent video Scotty.

[@hlq2action310]

What about the pipe wrench?

[@1divemaster1]

thanks Scotty.

[@mikewams4speed]

This guy is awesome

[@rileysowner]

Looks good. I wonder if it would fit the rounded differential cover bolt I am dealing with. It looks like it needs a fair bit of space around the bolt.

[@euonymus1980]

Nice tool but I favor Sk tools turbo sockets. They come in 1/4" and 3/8" drive. Fits on a ratchet just like a normal socket so it can get into tight spaces. I have used mine dozens of times and would be lost without them! Thanks for the video Scotty.

[@motorTranz]

I use vice grips and a sledge hammer. Works for me.

[@rapinncapin123]

Smart Invention!

[@workhardno1cares]

Oh that's awesome!!!

[@davidpaytonsapiary6911]

Definitely going to get a go2 socket. I deal with rounded over bolts all the time at work and home.

[@SERIUS401]

I have to give this a try... I've been at war with the rear sway bar bushing clamps for a good day now

[@bradc7011]

Very interesting

[@firstevidentenigma]

This guy is hilarious. lol Great videos. :)

[@25melet]

l love you are sooooooooooooooooo funney and your advices is a gold a dvices

[@tamacaterran]

Hey Scotty where's your moonshine haha love your videos help me a lot

[@MrLobsterity]

pipe wrench is also a great way to unscrew rounded bolts

[@raviluke]

Илья Медов that’s what I always use works like a charm
