With left handed bits it took much less time. I only had to drill once

of the way in, the screw would come out. FTM, there wasn't enough for
a screw extractor to bite on at that point.

I have no idea how it would work on big ones for an engine, but he
asked the question, so I did my best to answer.


Interesting, and it makes sense. I'd just never thought
about using left handed bits. Thanks
