Re: Best way to remove broken bolts

[Mark J Bradakis <mjb@autox.team.net>]

One *advantage* of using an impact is that all the torque can be applied
along the axis of the extractor.  Using hand tools one usually puts
substantial side loads on the extractor, making it more prone to snapping
where it would be bending were it not so brittle.  Of course, if you
apply too much torque along any axis, that's another story.
