Had a stripped bolt on a Cessna 172's cowling in Phoenix last month
Couldn't get a grip with a standard socket, so I hammered on a slightly smaller 12-point and it came right out. Anyone have a better trick for those soft aluminum bolts?

Man, that's the story of everything being made softer these days.

You're right, @alicecooper. It's not just music or movies, but even things like car dashboards and appliance buttons. Everything gets smoothed out and made less sharp, both in looks and in what it does. It removes the interesting edges that gave stuff its own feel.

Right, @tarahunt, so when do we get our edges back?
