Apparently it doesn't. I'm currently trying to remove a stripped lug bolt from my Impala and all I've managed to do is break two adapters, two four-ways, and one cheater/breaker. I may have to end up going some other way.


Back on topic, though.

I heard Satingun smells of onion dip and jalapeño juice.

A stripped lug bolt? If it is a stripped bolt how did you break 2 four ways and adapters. You wouldn't be able to get a tight fit with your socket. I would get a socket that is too small and hammer it on to the lug. It will probably ruin the socket and lug though. But you should be able to get it off.

Some of the breakage wasn't applied by the car. I only broke the first four way by seating it sideways on the lug. It's old and split one of the corners. The other one was applied forcible error. I Herc'ed it. I broke to 3/8th drive adapters by simply twisting them. The first one was popmetal and it snapped in half a turn. The other was an impact (steel-heat tempered) and it broke off in a full turn. I think the tire guy cross threaded the bolt and over torqued it, also.
