Re: Drill Hog drills

I've not used left hand drills, but I've used left hand "easy outs" (term?), with limited success, especially with the smaller sizes. You drill a specific sized hole in the broken bolt, and then use them to (try to...) remove the bolt. Frequently, they break off, even when used with the mi...
