After fighting with and losing to an easily stripped torque convertor drain plug, I remembered an old shade tree method. I wrapped the 5 mil hex with a piece of a paper shop towel and using a small machinist ball peen hammer, tapped it into the plug. Gave the ratchet a pull and heard the delightful sound of the plug breaking the torque. The same method can be used to keep nuts in a socket for those hard to reach places. Just remember to start the nut by hand to prevent crossthreading.
