Cheap Tools
Disassembling the 2.7 core today... My "Powerbuilt" hex key socket snapped off right inside the allen head bolt inside the cam tower. I had a Snap-On version of the tool in the box, but I just grabbed the first one I found. 
The part that broke off is wedged into the bolt nice and tight -- kind of like a snapped off EZ-Out. This will probably burn through my best Cobalt bits.... Any suggestions?

Really good idea - and turn it clockwise, just enough to loosen the broken piece, not try to remove the cam tower bolt.

I would hate to be one of your tools
