Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do a quick search on here, I posted a link to them on the sears website. I picked mine up at a sears hardware store locally.
You can do a search on the sears website also for "screw extractor" and thats how they came up.

Harbor Freight also carries left twist drills. McMaster-Carr, too.
One of my pet peeves...bits go in a brace...you don't have a drill bit press, you have a drill press....got reamed for that back in my younger days at a machine shop. That thing you plug into the wall to make holes in object..yeah, that thing you put drills into-that's a drill motor, not a drill. Never forgot it.
I drive people nuts with that tidbit!

Snap-On has them - order online or through a mobile vendor. Two small sets are p/n's DBLS105A (HSS) consisting of 5 sizes 1/8" through 11/32" and p/n DBCL105A (Cobalt) 5/64" to 19/64. They also have individual sizes (some in both types) from 5/64" to 1/2".

This is only semi related, but depending on your need, if the stripped
bolt/etc is not in a blind hole, you do not need a left handed drill to get it out.
The PO of the 750 I just bought had stripped many of the screws that retain the throttle arm to the carb slide (the ones you undo to access the needle clip). So tonight at work I used a long shank 5/64" drill on a low speed drill press and drilled into the bottom of the stripped screws, and they spun right out like butter. This is the same as using a left handed drill to screw into the top (head) of a stripped bolt. Now, of course, we're usually find stripped hardware in blind holes, but if not, some finesse and your standard rh drills will get you out of a jam if used from the back.
Oh, and for those who experience the same problem;
The screws are M3-14. I replaced mine with hex head bolts. Super cheap, and a lot better than relaying on philips screws. (JIS tools or not!)

More Extraction Fun

Oh, and I swear by these as well. For rounded bolt heads before you're at the last resort for drilling. Just tap on, and wrench off. They are a bit pricier, but you can buy smaller or larger sets to adjust the price point. This is something you want to buy a middle-good grade or better, as the quality of the hardness of the socket body and those splines is what does the work.

I bought my reverse drill bits at Harbor Freight for a set of 4, and they're actually much better quality than the rest of their drill bit selection. They've worked fine several times.
However, HF's "Titanium Nitride" coated bits, for example, are pure ?ber-crap, not even suitable for picking your nose. That place is such a mixed bag.
For your workaday drill bits, don't screw around with anything less than cobalt bits from a reputable quality vendor like Sears. HSS or coated bits are invariably worthless after one use.
