He had broken the exhaust stud and then broke an easy out trying to get that out.
One customer was quoted $1200 to have one exhaust stud hole cleared of a broken EZ Out, on his boat engine. Some of our customers have received quotes to have a mobile metal disintegration company come out to their location and use an expensive process to remove their broken EZ Out. This makes them very brittle and susceptible to breaking easily when too much force is applied. An EZ Out and other tools like taps and drill bits we already mentioned have very hard metal compounds. The reason is because tools like these were never intended or designed to require removal by drilling.
In fact we've had many customers try to drill out broken tools with Cobalt and titanium drill bits, only to spend all day and nothing to show for their time, except several dull or even broken drill bits and a broken EZ-Out still in their engine with just a dimple. 'How do you drill out and remove a broken EZ-Out?' Read below or go directly to our Rescue Bits For Sale section.īroken EZ Outs, various brand spiral extractors, taps and drill bits are virtually impossible to drill out. We have had many customers call to ask what do you have that can drill out a broken tool like this? Fortunately, we have a tool that answers this question. The metal is so hard that a regular or even a cobalt drill bit cannot touch it.
