I could have used this video a couple days ago when I stripped one of those little screws that fix a brake rotor to the hub (on my Santa Fe). I could not for the life of me find my "easy outs" and had to borrow a set from a friend.

I've used reverse twist bits, mostly. For what Basil needed to do, I have impact drivers & a BFH..
