I needed to change the license plate on my car but the screws were completely rusted and wouldn't move no matter what I tried. And because the license plate was in place, I couldn't reach through the hole behind it to try and pry the bolt out of the back. I bought them in the hope that I could cut the license plate off to access the stud and remove it. It definitely helped. I was able to easily cut through the license plate and quickly attach a new license plate. Good product!
