Basement or shop garage limits? In a pinch, grind a carbide masonry drill
sharp. Fixture it in a mill or drill press and drill a pilot hole for an
extractor or a left hand drill bit. Use coolant or even tapping compound for
all this. There are a lot of other ways but I’m assuming minimums.

Subject: [AR] Stuck tool
I had a hex drive socket shear off in a fastener today.
The hex sheared at the top of the fastener, of course, so there is nothing to
grab; it also appears to be cocked in the fastener and so won’t just fall out.
I’ve tried drilling the broken hex but it’s tool steel....
