I want one of them detail sanders, those cheap ones put up with an amazing amount of abuse, I had a wickes one years ago and it had a very hard life and lasted about 5 years, for that price I'd have another.

I was a bit Meh about the tap and die last time so didn't get it, might do this time followed by the arbor's and forstners as mine are mullard.

Hopefully it wont all be gone by the time I finish work but I doubt it

Will a tap and die set push/ pull a snapped screw out?
Are they hard to use?

Re: LIDL deals this thursday
 

No a tap and die is for rethreading a stripped hole or threading a new one. You need a bolt extractor, which incidentally I've herd the lydl one is crap but I've never used one as I always drill out and retap.

No they are simple as a simpleton to use

Well one hole has a bolt stuck the other whole has lost most of its thread.
So with the holes that have lost thread, would this be ok to use on them? If so that's what I'm doing today

Re: LIDL deals this thursday
 

You can retap a stripped hole at the same size but its advised you bore the hole out 0.5mm - 1mm (depending on what bits you have) than it currently is, rethread it and buy a bigger bolt. If yiu retap the existing stripped thread it will be weak and most likely strip again or fail if its under load/stress.

Right, these holes are the pillion peg holes. So I need to drill it out? Then re thread it? Or could I not re thread it a bigger size using existing hole with out buying a metal drill bit and drilling whole. I really haven't done anything like this before

Re: LIDL deals this thursday
 

Also standard metal drill bit do to bore the whole 0.5mm bigger? Or do I need certain type of metal bit
