There is a cracked set screw in one of m Kwik 200 tool holders. It's
a 1/2 inch holder so its one of the most common and cheapest to
find used. That being said there aren't as many used Kwik 200 tool
holders to be found on the most obvious source (Ebay) as their used
to be. I hate to pitch a tool holder I already have over such a
cheap part.

Here is the problem. There is a tool in the holder and its well
secured. I want to take the tool out, but even a clean crisp brand
new hex key just pops around like the screw is rounded, but its
not. I'd like to save the tool in the holder other wise I might be
tempted to press it out.


I think that ultimately the screw exerts greater pressure on the
threads when I try to turn it because it is cracked. IE: Tries to
expand.

If you had to slice open the slot above the tool bit with a cutoff
wheel to part the setscrews you'd still have a useable toolholder.
