True story, then youll need to bust out with one of these bad boys.
(btw i own that same kit and it never let me down in time of need)

I use the sears craftsman ones and the smaller ones are f'd up already. Lifetime warranty baby.
For the screw extracters I have a snap-on set

The bolt will only fit a 12pt.

A lot of bolts are 12pt head...and if the bolt is a 12pt head the wrench to take it off is also the same size as the bolt FYI

Re: (PhatAcuraIntegra)
clutch and flywheel bolts on our hondas are 12 pt sockets as well
but yeah, as stated 6 point sockets are better on a 6 point bolt. obviously

They're easier to get onto the bolt/nut, since it'll fit every 30 degress instead of every 60. Isn't a very big deal unless you're working with a breaker bar in limited space.

Re: (fdavie)
I would consider that a bigger advantage of the type of ratchet that your using and the degree of swing...you can almost always reach down and twist the socket to fit on
