I finally (after numerous feeble attempts), got the confidence to "get er done". I'm 1/2 way out to the truck, & I say to myself, "self, you already know the rest of this story, go watch a tutorial, & maybe your day will be brighter". After viewing this, I can't say enough how it made me avoid that fork in the road. Well done, & thanks. 🎯

[@trilexfix]

Thank you so much I just over torqued a torx bold that I am fairly confident it is for a T35 and would you guess that T35 isn't a standard bit in most torx bit sets. I destroyed it but, with your tips and tricks you really helped me out. I went with something more premium from Fastinal instead of Ryobi since I only had one shot at it so I wanted an easy out that was machined well with good metal and I didn't wanna include my welder friend unless it really was last resort. I was able to extract the bolt out and definitely thanks to you!!! I have extracted bolts before and even destroyed ones but never with this method, so that is another fix for the books!!! Thank you brother.

On my very first gun, first time taking it apart I stripped a screw BAD and I of course being my first got frustrated and made it worse, thank god for these kits… was able to replace the screw even though it was really small. Lucky that it was semi soft steel.

[@Caliber8Tools]

They do come in handy.

[@Lynn0219]

I'm trying to set up some new blinds in my apt. BUT I have a screw with no head... what do I do b.c it's in there but I have no way of taking it out...

[@Caliber8Tools]

Not worth it to break up the drywall just to get that out. Move over enough to miss it and use another hole in the bracket. If there is no more holes in the bracket, use a 1/8th inch drill bit to make an extra hole in the bracket that would miss that headless screw lodged in the wall.

[@martysmith7038]

For people who already know what a broken bolt is, and do not need a 3-minute explanation of what it means to measure the diameter of an object, skip ahead to around 5:00 minutes. That's when he finally begins to explain the thing the video claims to be about.

I find it works to get a set of number guage drill bits. Normally I work with 1/8th easy-outs (which is a about a #30 in guage size) I size down to a #31 to leave a little extra meat for the easy out to bite into and I don't have to be as steady and precise with my drilling.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Makes sense.

[@Rainer386]

When drilling the hole for the extractor do you drill in reverse or forward?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Drill forward.

[@Rainer386]

@@Caliber8Tools Wish I had seen that earlier, I thought you drilled in reverse in the video, and that's how I though it worked with screw extraction. But you drill forward, I'll have remember that. I had a rotor bolt stuck in the wheel hub and the head broke off when I was trying to get it with my speedout weeks ago, couldn't get the stuck bolt with a different extraction set this morning so I drilled through and stuck a long bolt through and put a nut on the other side of the wheel hub and tightened it down that way.

[@homealone5087]

​@Samuel Terry ya you're not going to drill very deep with your drill in reverse. Drill your hole as you normally would, then the easy-out works counter clockwise (reverse) to get the fastener out.

To measure th shaft that is??

[@Caliber8Tools]

Take the screw you took out to the hardware store and have them size it. Home Depot also has a screw sizer. If you destroyed the screw then you may have to estimate the size and try a few to see what fits.

When you used the normal drill bit, not the easy out. Was that in reverse drive or normal?

Normal. The threads on the easy out bits are reverse thread.

[@ParrotHead1809]

Very Cool. Why wouldn’t you attach the easy-out “bit” to your drill too? Just curious. Great vid!

[@homealone5087]

You kinda want to go slow and stay in control. You don't want to snap off your easy-out inside the fitting. They're extremely hard metal, and VERY hard to drill out if you break one off.

[@XRP-army-25]

just sit a nut on the outside of it and tack weld the middle , is the spanner to go on the nut and undo ...

[@Caliber8Tools]

Interesting solution, assuming you have a welder.

[@foilfanatic]

Thank you! Saved my day! 🙂🤙

[@Caliber8Tools]

Glad it helped.

[@makeRabbitsAProtectedSpecies]

Don't use easy outs. In my experience they snap off rather than shift the bolt and then you are really stuck because the easy out is hardened metal that can't be drilled. Use other methods instead like heating/freezing, tapping round with a punch or simply drill out and re-tap. Last resort is overdrill and helicoil. I've had zero success with easy outs and they have caused more trouble than they solved in my experience.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@RealDeal458]

Just broke my easy out in it lol so I took a ball punch and punched it out the other side since I’m able to get to it

[@DonaldSmaglinski]

@@makeRabbitsAProtectedSpecies I too have had the exact experience you have had with a easy out. Much more grief than joy.

[@577buttfan]

@@makeRabbitsAProtectedSpecies no Healey coil just drill out and tap to the next size bigger

[@BrianHSC]

A lot of these videos are not going over the important bit. This guy did it right by not using the impact driver. But crescent wrench is not a good tool because you need to push hard as you turn. Use ratchet and push hard.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Good tip.

[@ImShooby]

I tried to use one of thes and the extractor broke in the hole 😅

[@Caliber8Tools]

Oops. lol. Drill it out to break it up or use other extractor to get that one out.

[@dayumdayum1149]

blood sounds like the arbiter

[@charleskuss8538]

Lousy instructions. You obviously don't really know how to do this job. First, you should take your grinder and grind the stub of the broken bolt off flush. Otherwise, the drill bit tends to wander off center, as you did at the 7:20 mark. After center punching the bolt, you drill a small diameter hole, say 1/8", as a pilot hole. Using a small drill first, helps you keep the drill from wandering off center. Staying on center is critical, as sometimes no matter what you do, the EZ Out won't remove the bolt. Using a pilot [1/8"] drill bit first, also speeds up the drilling process. The finish size drill will work faster and stay straight when first drilling a small pilot hole. Lastly, when all else fails, you get a HeliCoil thread repair kit, drill the bolt completely out and repair the threaded hole with the HeliCoil set. For the HeliCoil to work properly, you need the hole drilled "on center", otherwise the newly repaired threaded hole won't line up with the holes in the hinge. Pro tip: Use Cobalt drill bits. They cost double what HSS [high speed steel] drill bits cost, but stay sharp 5 times longer. Most importantly, HSS drill bits won't drill into a grade 7 or grade 8 hole. You only dull the bit. Cobalt [not those BS TINN coated] bits will easily drill out hardened grade 7 & 8 bolts.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Appreciate the feedback.

[@kentwiley1067]

Are many tight spots when you cannot grind off the hext bolt head. Its all about patience and go slow using his approach.

[@RichardsMovies]

Kinda harsh my dude

[@CannaMike420]

All that explaining and not even a mention of using a left handed drill bit to make the extraction hole. Many times that action alone will loosen seized bolts.

[@charleskuss8538]

@CannaMike420 in my experience, left-handed drill bits work excellent when a bolt is broken off due to over-tightening and sharing off the head. However they rarely work when the bolt head broke off because the threads are seized.

[@michaelhennegan9637]

A Fisk caliper is not a Vernal caliper.

[@JohnSmith-cw3tp]

Always use left handed drill bits for this. And remember to use drill in reverse. It may come right out and maybe not but that’s the smart thing to try first cuz you’re drilling anyway. And never use your adjustable wrench backwards like this guy was in the video. Then maybe you’ll be doing it like a pro. But in my experience being a pro just means you get paid to do something.

[@kevinhuberty5447]

They are only easy if they don't break off inside the bolt hole.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Agreed.
