You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You never count your turns
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the turnin's done.

I think I have that somewhere else before. :D

After the nut or bolt is sufficienly rounded over enough to make life miserable I throw down the damn thing and go get the correct tool, find out the bolt or nut is too damaged then I go get vise grips, after totally wrecking the nut bolt or both. I finally go get a grinder, drill, or whatever. After I'm finished and usually worn out I make an oath to myself that I will never use the damn tool again. Then I promptly throw it back into my desperate situation tool box only to repeat he exercise again in the future. :eek:

My first thought was a nut splitter, but then it noticed there wasn't a blade.
I can't say that I have had a lot of success with multi tools, other than the Shopsmith of course. ;)

I see a possibility of many sizes, but has to be a hex nut/bolt head.
