Left Handed(Reverse) drill bit

[Jase86]

I need a reverse or left handed drill bit to remove a snapped flywheel bolt - havent had any luck finding any in my local tool shops, any suggestions as to where I can buy one or anyone local to me willing to loan me one? I'm in Melb S.E. - Moorabbin/Clayton area.

tried using easy out's?, or is there any thread at all showing?

[Jase86]

Nah no thread showing. I have some easy-outs but still need to drill the bolt to use them. I reckon it will come out easy enough just trying to drill it if I use a reverse drill bit.

[dustyae86]

should just be drilling it with a standard bit then using the easy out to get it out

[Trev084]

A left hand drill bit is a good option tho as they can grab causing the bolt/stud to come out, Have you tried Blackwoods?

[Jase86]

Will give them a try - cheers.

Won't a left threaded drill bit just loosen your chuck when you drill?

No, It wont come undone.

just buy a kinchrome screw remover set, should cost about $20.
drill into the bolt, choose the right size and it'll come out.
Saved my ass many o times.

blackwoods will have them (not kinchrome) without a doubt.

ezy outs suck for this kind of work..... i have snapped so many of the fuckers really... they are only good for light to medium duty.

reverse twist drill bit is a much better option and yes blackwoods stock em
