left hand drill bits

since I rarely snap a bolt off in a blind hole I rarely have to drill one out but one of the tricks I learned long ago was many times the heat and rotation from a left handed drill bit will cause the broken bolt to back out on its own. if it doesn't you needed to drill a hole for the extractor any way.
it worked again this morning and I was surprised I was able to locate any of my LH bits after 20 years of not having to use them

Re: left hand drill bits

I have a set of Ez-outs and the correct size LH drill bits. Handy.
