[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490761, member: 1183"] Interesting reading on the broken bolts, as a retired toolmaker of 50 years I thought I might add a trick or two of my own. On top of all the ideas posted, I didnt see anyone mention left handed drill bits. I bought a set of these many years back, as they drill they are attempting to loosen and back out the broken screw. The vibration from cutting loosens all but the most stubborn bolts and they typically just grab and unscrew themselves. Left handed drill bit set was one of my better investments in tools. The most difficult part about using them is to remember to run the drill backwards !!!! [/QUOTE]
