Anyone try using a DRILL-OUT extractor? This is a sort of combination
left-handed drill bit and ez-out thing, that one uses with an electric
drill. Go to http://www.aldn.com/drillout.html if you want to learn
more. These are also sold at Sears with the Craftsman name. I just made
my first attempt at using one. I used a 1/2 extractor. I am trying to
extract the remains of a drain fitting from an engine block. I followed
the directions. Drilling down the center was trivial, as the fitting
already has a hole down the middle. When I did the "plunge" I received a
surprise. The chuck unscrewed from the drill, shearing the screw that
secures it in the process. That was not what I had in mind. Anyone have
any success with one of these things? Thanks.
