You didn't happen to buy that extractor from Woodcraft did you? A friend
just recently bought from Woodcraft and it shattered after a couple uses.

Funny you should say that I just had the same thing happen to me using the
Woodcraft extractor. I had just started the hole and it shattered scattering
pieces everywhere. Make sure you wear eye protection and gloves when using
these. I could easily break the shattered pieces with a pair of pliers so IMHO
these extractors are too brittle to be safe/useful.

I'd recommend a face shield from the description that my friend gave me
of the way his shattered.
