Lee,
Try McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/). They have a huge catalog,
good stuff, fast delivery, great customer service, and you can order as much
or as little as you want. They have branches in New Jersey, Georgia,
Cleveland, Chicago and Los Angeles. They have left-hand drill bits.

Amazing. Again, this list proves invaluable.
As for drilling into broken-off bolts (for insertion of e-z out), I have
heard several folks suggest using a LEFT-HANDED drill bit to do the
drilling, with the advantage being that sometimes the broken stud will back
out just due to the drilling process.
However, I have never seen a set of left-hand thread drill bits! I've only
looked at hardware stores, Sears, and Harbor Freight. Do only the high-end
tool dealers have these?
