And it came complete with l/h drill bits. 2 out of 3 studs I had to remove came out with the drill bit alone ..... I?m in love.
Bought a new easy out set

Easy-outs are great until one snaps off in the bolt you're trying to remove. Then they change their name to difficult-outs, or fucking-near-impossible-outs.

I'm with you all the way Cam!
From a scientific point of view, although they grip the inside they force the outer wall of the snapped bolt outwards as you tighten the 'hard-out'.
If the bolt releases then you are lucky, I must admit I have been lucky on a few occasions, but not universally.
I think the reason the lefty drill works is the wall of the bolt isn't being pushed out

Yes, agree. Drill leaves less pressure on the wal and when it grabs ...... out she comes.

Bit of heat and vibes of the drilling process must help too. I've had a lot of success with a hammer (to help release the stuck remnant's thread, and a very small cold chisel, carefully tapping in the 'out' direction. Always amazed at how successful it can be. Broken Ezy Outs can only really be removed by electro-eroding.
