I've got the perfect socket set for that and I'll even throw in the
plumbers wrench so you can rip the head right off that bolt. :)

I've never had an SK socket break on me, but I have twisted the ends
off several extensions and adapters with them. They are the black
(impact) type.

I stopped buying them about thirty years ago, when a salesman told me that
the cheap *** rubber handle on a breaker bar fell off the breaker bar,
because I had abused it. Then a counter person told me that I would have to
take a broken socket back to the store where I had bought it, six states
away. The shiny ones were famous for shattering, but they didn't round off
bolt heads. I still have an SK metal socket organizer, full of mostly
Craftsman sockets! The wrenches were tough, but too big for most uses.
