[s-cars] Re: broken stud removal tools

[Eric_R_Kissell at whirlpool.com]

Doesn't NAPA offer reversed (left-handed) drill bits.  NAPA carries screw
extractor kits - check with them about the contents of the kit. Maybe
you'll get lucky and one of the screw extractor kits will have left-handed
bits.

I got a cheap set of left-handed drill bits from Harbor Freight. Not local
to you, but maybe they could FedEx something or maybe someone near a local
store could FedEx or hand carry a set to you.

>From www.harborfreight.com:

4 PC. LEFT HAND HIGH SPEED STEEL DRILL BIT SET
Remove bolts or studs easily when the head breaks off. Eliminate the need
to bore out and re-tap the hole. Simply drill a hole in the broken stud,
insert a screw extractor, turn the extractor with a tap wrench and back
them out. Made from high speed steel.
Only for use with reversible drills.
Includes 4 left-handed drill bits: 1/8'', 3/16'', 1/4'', and 3/8''

HTH,
