NO! You DO NOT use a drill! You drill into the bolt to make a space for
this
tool. Then, you give the drill to your wife and instruct her not to let
you
have it again until you're ready to drill the next bolt. I don't care WHAT
the hardware guy told you. If this is the tool you bought, he gave you the
wrong instructions. And, if this tool came in its original package, AND
you
opened it carefully, you still have the instructions.


Ok, Jay..... stop. Take a deep breath and THINK about what you are
doing.

1) First and most important thing is to READ *all* of the
instructions. Next, don't do *ANYTHING* until you *UNDERSTAND* the
instructions.

2)Second thing is that you need to realize how important it is to
develop a *feel* for what you are doing. To even suggest putting a
screw extractor into a drill screams the fact that you have no
understanding of the tactile feedback involved in the job. An
experienced mechanic doesn't strip bolts because he knows how removing
one should *feel*. This is the next thing you need to explore... or
you are constantly going to be fixing things that you have broken....
and you are constantly going to be breaking things.....

And Jay....if and when you respond to this message, and mine (before
Gene's), please do not mention the motor, or who's fixing it now. That'll
just clutter this branch of the discussion. Let's deal with your approach to
this particular tool. It's important.
