I learned the value of good extraction tools when I snapped a wheel stud on the race car. As I was staring at the broken stud, then my watch looking at the time to get the car ready for qualifying, and then back at the stud, the guy parked next to me brought his Mac extrator set over. That drill bit cut through the wheel stud like it was soft cheese. I couldn't believe it. Bought a set off ebay the next week.

Yeah, I made the qualifying session with time to spare.
