What is it with people hating easy outs.
 
Used them heaps, always got the bolt out.
 
One point to think about is, the closer to the size of bolt you can get your easy out to be, will leave less bolt around the thread, making it easier to undoo, as the threaded section, normally will try to collapse on itself (making it easier to come out)
 
Too small a easy out, and it will be more difficult.
 
you also need to use the exact right size (high speed) drill bit down the centre (with a fast drill) 
Doing it fast with a sharp drill bit will add less heat to the middle of the bolt.
 
If you heat the inside of a bolt, it will het harder to drill, so shap, and fast, always works.
 
Then you wind them in, making sure you do not try and bend the easy out.
 
Please remember these are very highly heated to harden these.
These things are brittle, but take your time, preparing to drill, and espeacially to unwind stuff (trying to do it fast, you will bend the easy out), causing it to shatter/snap.

hi, screw eazy outs,  (literally..)   they gotta be the worst  device ever.
