anyone got any ideas on how to remove rounded bolts?
i tried super cheap auto and auto 1 for some tools but have none.
i have heard of easy outs? duno who sells them though.
i have tried vice grips but cant get around it enough to grip.
was also told you can weld a nut on the top of it but then again i dont have a welder 
any tips ? thanx

depends what the bolt is doing...
my usual tactic is grab a drill bit I have for the job (large diameter, excellent quality) and just drill the head of the bolt off, until just before the drill bit touches what the bolt's holding together.
then just a tap of a hammer and you can remove it.
of course if it's a sump plug that's a bad idea since it's a threaded bolt.
if you want some easy-outs, go to bbc or bunnings or hardware house, something like that... any decent hardware shop should have them
