Default I like these:
I've never had a socket break, and I've never stripped a bolt with a Metrinch socket or wrench. But I have losened plenty stripped bolts with it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.metrinch-tools.com/">Metrinch</a></li></ul>

Default go to the craftsman website...
Look for a socket set designed to remove stripped bolts. It runs about $20. Those special sockets can remove a completely round bolt head in seconds.

Default Back it up?
I've had nothing but good experiences with the set I have. What don't you like about it?
