[Shotimes] Cancer with a twist

[Paul Nimz]

No they are next to the metric crescent wrenches..... :)

I get mine at www.mcmaster.com and they do indeed work.  I will always try
the left handed bits (ran with the drill in reverse) first as even if they
fail to get the broken piece out you still have your hole to use the
easy-out or progress to a larger bit/hole.
