If you can do that why not just cut a slot and use a parallel

than a hand held tool. How much pressure can you apply to stop any
driver turning out without distorting the bit you want to keep?


That's how I broke them off flush in the first place. ;-)


Ah.

How thick is the surrounding sheet? Could you punch the remnant
