[Shotimes] Bolt Extractor Kits

[James White]

I and several others on this have never had any good luck with bolt
extractors.  They simply break off in the broken bolt and make that much
harder to drill out.

Some one suggested a left hand drill bit, which makes much more sense.
Drilling the broken piece until the bit grabs and just maybe unscrews it.
In the worst case you will have to re-tap the hole and use the next larger
size bolt.
