It cuts in the counterclockwise direction, which often backs out a seized fastener during the drilling process before an extractor is even needed. This bit is a standard tool for mechanics, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians who regularly deal with rusted or sheared hardware. At 0.014 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight precision bit suited for hand-drill or drill press use in both shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeft hand drill bits like the 74108 are used across residential and commercial service work wherever broken or stripped fasteners need to be removed without damaging the surrounding material.
