I ordered this set of square female/male sockets tonight. The bleeder plug in the center on the 1950's in-ground single post car lift is a 7/16" square male. It is recessed about 8" and the square head is still square and I want to keep it that way. A crows foot may have worked but I do not want to risk it since It may not have been out in many years. I liked this set because it comes with a storage box to make it easier to keep the set together is a drawer of seldom used special tools. There are cheaper options but without the right tool a 30 second job can become long by days, weeks, months. This thread has been thought provoking.

They did not show up on Wed as promised. Finally last night I checked on my order. They did not read my mind. I would not have put them in my basket if I did not want them they should know.

Well sure enough they were setting in my basket last night when I drilled down on why they did not show up. So I checked out and they are to be here next Wed.

Getting square headed plugs out can be more trouble than it is worth perhaps.

Yes, Sparc would be proud of Kando. Two peas in a pod, except Kando checks in now and then for a good chuckle :laughing:

I will check back in around 2000 to see if that plug is out yet!

I doubt it...

I doubt it...

By now, the plug has rusted to nothing and has fallen out. That's what happens when the paint gets scuffed.

Excellent! I believe this method has not been suggested to date...

Step 1) Remove by Natural Causes'.

We are progressing nicely on this process.
