I've got a broken bolt in my cars engine block. I'm trying to locate a
source for left handed (counterclockwise) drill bits in Calgary, AB, Canada.
In most places they just look at me funny until I explain why I need it.
Some places have heard of it, but don't have any.

If I was in the U.S. I could buy a whole set for about $8... To order from
the US will end up adding $15 shipping, plus whatever duties, plus everyone
wants to use UPS - which adds $50 to the final total.

There MUST be someplace in Calgary I can go to purchase a set of these
things. If not, how about a Canadian website where I could order a set for a
REASONABLE shipping charge?

*sigh*

Help?!?

Try asking for bolt extractors. I can almost guarantee local 'purveyor to
the trade' tool place will have them.

Snap On makes them. Check out their website if you do not have a
distributor in your area. Good luck Larry

What you want it a normal type drill bit and an "easy out" extractor. Drill
a hole into the bolt, then use the extractor in a wrench to turn it out
counter clockwise. Go to http://www.mcmaster.com/ and page 2709 to see
what you need.
