As far as I'm concerned you're half right, everybody should have a set of left
hand drill bits. Every time I've used an Easy Out (particularly a cheap one)
its broken. Once an Easy Out breaks you're screwed... Fortunately in all cases
I've been able to use a punch and break the easy out (they're real hard) but
I've had friends that had to burn them out with a torch.
If I'm going to drill I'd rather just drill with the intention of drilling as
close to the threads as I dare and running a tap or a chase through.

Everyone should either buy a set of cheap easy-outs with left hand twist
drills, or look for a Snap-On truck and buy a few left-hand drills. When you
need them, you need them, and it's a lot easier to find them in your toolbox
than in a lot of modern hardware stores. Mitch.

agreed; but it's a dealer selling it, and you know how much they're likely to
(not) know when it comes to something like this.
it was just included as an example of the fact that they still show up from
time-to-time.
cheers!
