Just me Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi all. Does any of you own a set of easy outs or left hand drill bits? I'm currently looking for a set of those, not because I really need right now but just to have in case of emergency, you never know when you will break a bolt and I hate running to the shop hunting for this kind of stuff when I'm really busy. I have read some reviews about a set of easy outs form laser tools which some guys say that they snap while trying to unscrew a boltIf any of you uses one of these sets, what make do you guys use? Where did you buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I like the Irwin 11119 set myself. It comes with the east outs and the LH bits so there's no guess work involved. Any of them will break under the right circumstances, but a good quality set is a must. The Irwin 11119 has USA made easy outs and Brazilian made drill bits. It retails for around $35 on Amazon.

wafrederick Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I don't like the spiral easy outs,expand on the broken fastners too much.The straight flutes are better.There is the mig welder metheod too if part of the broken off bolt sticks out,welding a nut on it and this does work.

Conductor562 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I went on a mini buying spree last night. I ordered the above referenced Irwin easy out kit, a set of Blackhawk Crows feet (SAE), a set of 1/2" impact extensions, a pair of 537 Channellocks, and some fuel line clamps. I will report on the easy out set when it comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Got the Blackhawk Crow Foot set for $59 brand new on eBay. They typically retail for $110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah I have found some good deals on ebay. I got a Kobalt 1/4 in and 3/8 in on ebay for 25 because it was missing a 5/8 socket, otherwise brand new. Retails for 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The Irwin 11119 set came today. On initial inspection, I'm very pleased with the quality. The easy outs are USA made while the left handed cobalt bits are made in Brazil. I'll try to do a write up on them, but a real world test situation doesn't come along every day (for me), and it's kind of tricky to accurately reproduce. I'll try and work something out though.

firefighter4187 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 What do you think about Irwins new impact bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 They certainly look nice and if Irwin's claims pan out they could be a very worthy option. Haven't used them yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
