Bolt/Screw extractor tool

[NBurns]

I have s set of bolt/screw extractor bits. As you can see I unfortunately have two size three bits. One need changing to a size one bit. So, A. Does anyone have any of these and B. Does anyone have a spare size one that could be swapped for a size 3?

Well I won’t be purchasing those then...

Sorry but I've never seen any of these things work on bolts sheared because of corrosion. They just chew it up a bit and fall out.

Almost, but not always, a sheer waste of time.(Sheer? See what I did there?)

TBH, every time I've tried stud extractors they are an epic waste of time. Normally easier to carefully drill the bolt and run a tap of the right thread through it.

True though.

So drill and tap and carefully unscrew?

No drill out the old bolt carefully then retap the original hole.

Sometimes using a left twist drill can work.
