How do I remove unremovable security bolts?

Plasma Cutter
chrisp63 asked:


I’m trying to remove the security bars from a house but it has those “one way” bolts that screw in but don’t allow it to be unscrewed. I saw a special tool at Home Depot but it didn’t look like it would have enough gripping to remove this it?

Does anyone know how well these gadgets work?

Is it easier to just grind the head off or even borrow someone’s plasma cutter?

Thanks!

Lug nut ripped in half?

Plasma Cutter
Max M asked:


I ripped a lug nut in half on my 84 Camaro Z28 with a torque bar. The nut is torn up terribly and then my shop teacher suggested putting an air hammer to it to try to get it off so I did and now there’s nothing to grab at all on it. I’m thinking that my only option is to destroy the rim by putting a cetaline torch or plasma cutter to it. Is there any other option for me unfortunately I don’t think there is.

What Welder to get?

Plasma Cutter
Brian B asked:


I am looking into getting a welder and need help selecting a model. I need a very versatile welder, since I will be welding a large variety of materials and thicknesses. At the least, I need something that can weld thin metal (automobile exhaust, maybe stainless) and weld up to 1/2″ steel. I would also like to be able to weld aluminum. What would make the best welder for this type of versatility. Also, what would be a good plasma cutter? Thanks
