Fix stripped nuts and bolts every time

What happens here

The presenter takes a Grip Edge external extractor and gently pounds it onto a severely rounded bolt on the demo block. It requires minimal force to securely engage. He then uses a ratchet to confidently loosen and remove the bolt, highlighting the absolute control provided by the tool. After removal, he demonstrates a unique feature: a foreign object removal rod, which threads into the back of the extractor, allowing the user to push the extracted bolt out of the tool easily with pliers, avoiding the need for a separate punch.

Goal: Successfully remove a rounded bolt and clear the extractor for reuse.
