Speaking as a retired auto mechanic (45+ years), I'd be more inclined to buy something that I know works off the shelf than to try wearing a chemist hat to achieve the same results. I watched that first video from your suggested search, and noticed he let the concoction he made work for a week to achieve what I believe PB would have done in a couple of hours. Liquid wrench was never a go to product for me, which is what he was comparing his concoction to.
With do respect...others might want to try it...you're not the only one here.
I never said they shouldn't, I said what *I* would be inclined to do. Why do you have a problem with me voicing my opinion?
By the way, I suspect you meant to say "with due respect", but you'll have to forgive me if I don't believe you. You're just one of the *many* experts here that know the best way to do *everything*.

I haven't transfused all my caffeine yet, yes it's good you could figure out what I was saying. I don't see how sharing something makes me a know-it-all? I will tread lighter next time.

Would a baton work?
8 point sockets are quite readily available and are made for that purpose. Not sure how big yhey go. Another solution is a piece of square tubinh the right size, welded to an old atandard socket.
If he can't get an open end wrench on, a pipe wrench doesn't stand a chance!!!!
a 12 point on the impact will round the corners in about 3 seconds, and likely break the socket at the same time. 8 point is made for the job.

Due respect - not do, or dew.

I never put a bolt back in dry. Anti-seize if I have it handy, but at least some moly grease.
Someone else mention that...aren't you the one with all the typos? Something about glass houses?
Gotta get a new keyboard. The letters are worn off over half my keys and I don't always watch the screen as I type. I'm not a touch typist but at least I know what word I am TRYING to type.
See if you say that when you're 70...or may be you won't even talk!
Not THAT far to go.
I didn't spend much time looking. It looks like Ebay has a lot of the actual sockets. Amazon? Harbor Freight?
Lots of "double square" 8 point sockets out there too, to fit standard 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive ratchets, Home Despot in the states carries them (4 point) in the Sunex and Urrea lines, and Klein makes them fir the 1/4 hex drive world. They also carry the 8 point socket set from Gray - US SKU is Store SKU # 1000858995 for 7 piece SAE set
- $79 online order only
If they are a nice clean corner some can use a 12 point if it isn't too tight but the right tool as an 8 point or square. If it is a regular socket drive size, (1/4, 3/8 or 1/2) Use 2 sockets and a rod connector to link them. They don't even need to be the same drive size.
