Hi All. I lost a bet to a well-respected tech dealing with my first agraffe removal. He suggested the 'tap' method, but just for insurance purposes, he suggested I purchase a reverse drill bit (7/32 I believe), which I did. Procedure: -Using an awl, tap a tiny hole in the broken agraffe..just enough for the drill bit to catch it. -Insert the drill bit (inserted in a drill..cordless preferred) and slowly turn that drill bit. -as soon as the drill bit catches that hole, the broken agraffe will spin right out. I suspect the 'tap' method without using the reverse drill bit will work just fine, as many have suggested here..I just haven't had my 2nd chance yet! I went from sweating bullets to hero in about 5 seconds..and I still need to pay up on that bet..!!! -Phil Bondi(Fl)
