I've used the kind that you hammer on to a rounded-off bolts/nuts or the threads of a broken bolt/stud. I think I got them from Sears, but they're not the Craftsman ones that bite in as you turn them. They have little splines that get imbeded into whatever you hammer them onto. Worked well for me when I busted a stud in my exhaust (back before I knew about PB Blaster). Use Dean's trick to remove the busted nut. ^_^
