How To Fix Snapped Off Socket Adapter
 ✖  |
Brad Miller, Ridgeville Corners, Ohio: “During a recent building project I was using my impact drill to drive lag screws into 4 by 4 lumber when I accidentally snapped off the socket adapter. It twisted and snapped off flush with the end of the drill chuck. There was no way to extract it, so I thought my drill was finished. Fortunately, I had just bought a set of high quality drill bits from Winters Drill Bit City (ph 800 950-3938; www.wintersdrillbitcity.com) and a set of Grabit extractors (ph 765 247-2248; www.thegrabitstore.com).
“I drilled a hole in the broken socket adapter and was amazed at how easily the Winter’s drill bits worked. They cut into the socket adapter like it was butter.
“Next, I used the Grabit extractor to get a firm grip on the broken piece and it was out in a flash. The entire job took less than 10 min.
“I’ve used various extractors in the past without much success. I’m highly impressed with both the Winters drill bits and the Grabit extractors. They may be more expensive than other brands, but they’re well worth the money. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And, they’re made in the U.S.”
