I know exactly the wrench you are describing and I do covet one. I am going to try tomorrow a vice grip with a 3-point grip. My local hardware store guru said this should do it (for $18.00), as my older vice grips with a curved jaw just made matters worse. I would love the Sears set of adjustable vice grips, but alas no Sears nearby, I suspect I will have to use the old fashioned way of handling this rounded bolt. File two reasonably flat surfaces on opposite sides and then grab the thing. Thanks very much for your help. It is appreciated. Bill
