Over hear they are called Easy Outs.
I've used 'em in my many handymanish wanderings, so to speak.

Yes, easy out was the first term I heard, a brand name presumably.

Do they actually work?


Sir, pay no heed to these other "fantasy" handymen. I can assure you
they work just fine, but not alone, mind you. One must first create a
depression in the surface of that which is to be extracted, so that the
easy out can burrow deep within and take purchase.

Are you not meant to drill all the way in so the easy out isn't tapping
at all?


That's a BIG NEGATIVE on that one, good buddy. Just far enough in so
that yer easy out can grab a'hold.
Roger that?

That's not what everyone else says.
