Remove the plugs on cast iron radiators.

How many times have you tried to remove the plugs and bushing on an old cast iron radiator, only to end up rounding it off and chiseling them out? For less than $100 investment at Harbor Freight Tools I pick up a set of 1" sockets and a long breaker. Had to use a piece of black pipe as a cheater but I pulled them all out of 3 radiators today without chiseling. These were all used for steam so there was not lack of rusting inside. I air tested them and they all go to the sand blaster tomorrow.
