HEXIT Broken Bolt Removers: Let's Try Them On A HEMI!

In this video, we're working on a 2019 Dodge Ram with the 5.7L HEMI and six broken bolts that need to come out. I figured this would be another good opportunity to put those HEXIT weld-on broken bolt removers to the test. In our previous video, we tried these tools on a couple of relatively simple broken bolts, and there were plenty of opinions in the comment section! Some folks thought they were too big, others didn't like the price, and many pointed out that you could accomplish the same thing with an ordinary nut and a welder. And you know what? I don't necessarily disagree! I've been removing broken bolts with regular nuts for years. These HEXIT nuts aren't going to replace every other method, and I certainly don't think they're the right tool for every situation. They're simply another option to have in the toolbox. This time, we had six broken bolts to remove from a HEMI engine, so I figured we'd give them another shot and see how they performed. Did they work? Absolutely. Could I have gotten the bolts out another way? Absolutely. I'm still not ready to give these things a final verdict. I'd like to try them in a few more situations before deciding where they fit in my toolbox. Thanks for watching!
