Rob, Tom Thanks for the tips. All new info to me. I've seen the left handed drill bits before but thought they were a novelty. I can see how they would back out a loose stud. I've had many occasions when the drill grabbed and "screwed" itself into the material. Now I have to remember to run the drill in reverse to get them to work. I have extracted many a broken steel stud with easy outs, and to date have not broken any extractors. I usually give up by then and drill and tap a new thread. I'll be looking for the "drill out micro power extractor". I lost all my posts...corrupted files. I don't understand it but my son is a computor service tech and fixed it. So, if you replied to me concerning my need for a couple of M&H screw stringer hooks, please do so again. Thanks! Paul Chick RPT Plainview MN
