Any tips for removing stuck drill bits? Vice grip tear = no good (teeth on grip are getting broken). Higher powered drill = no good (can smell motor frying on attempt). Was running electrical on the exterior to my room and had to drill through the top drywall above the door frame to remove (actually had a friend who is an electrician do this, he did the job very cheaply, less than half cost so I said I would worry about the stuck drill bit). Any good ideas? Cause god damn it's annoying. Tried hammering it from the side (didn't really want to and didn't do it much as I don't want to get it more stuck), it really doesn't budge. I'm thinking it's wrapped in a nail. A little annoyed he wasn't more conservative and didn't just drill further down given doors typically have a lot more framing 2x4's. Any pointers?

what type of bit is it?
did it completly snap off ?
if its snapped your gonna have to take it all out to get it out if its not you can possibly use a hammer drill to back it out
but its hard to say cause i dont know the details

If you actually see fuzz in the brown paper that's exposed, cut the paper from that area. Just the paper, not the gypsum underneath. If you don't, you'll sand thru the mud and into the fuzz and it will always look like fur lives under the paint there. Or balls. Little painted blanket fuzz balls. Some pictures would really help but I do have a drywall finisher and a painter among my siblings and I've seen a lot of job sites. Good luck.

i want a wood burner when i get to my new place now all i do is run out the exhaust to the nearest window and use a piece of wood to block the in coming air so all i have to do i calk the metal and tape the sides of the wood and im good right? jerry rigging is a fun thing to do

I would be careful blocking that window off with wood if you're exhausting out of it. Depending on what type of wood burner you go with, that could be a pretty big fire risk. It won't cost you too much more to do it with metal, at least right next to the exhaust pipe going out the window.

Standard drill bit you would use to drill a hole in drywall to run some cable, exact type and measurement is unknown. It is not completely snapped off. I can probably find out the type of bit if it helps any (material/diameter). Does Home Depot rent hammer drills? What is a hammer drill? Thanks for your help.

I see what a hammer drill is now. Any recommendations on type/power? I'm sure Home Depot probably rents them.

Can't you just get a cheap tap out kit from an auto parts store and back it (the broken bit) out? Probably a lot cheaper than a hammer drill. It's just basically two bits, one to grind a hollow into the end of the broken bit and another that grabs into the hollow you make, then reverse it right out. Depending on how big the broken bit is, I think this would be the easiest way. I've never used or rented a hammer drill, though. Good luck.

if its a standard bit then you can use a tap out kit
if it wass a heavy type steel youd need the hammer drill lol
again i work with all types of stuff and some people love to use the best of the best
edit ps
hammer drills are good tools to have and you can get a good one for pretty decent price 50 bucks
essential if your doing masonry work for your garage or foundation work

i would say after mudding and sanding before paint use some primer or a flat white before paint so the sanded spots dont bleed throught the paint

Unnk that why I said I was just asking. I know there is a lot of people who collect disability and never work a day in their life. Im glad to see someone with a disability and is actually working and not taking advantage of the assistance givin to them.

Got a pic off what you are actually trying to accomplish???

Rifle bullet ... only need one ...
Someone suggested a screw extractor. Those are fine for mild steel but not the unobtanium of a good drill bit. Do you have a grinder, like an angle grinder or even a Dremel? Grind a pair of nice flats onto the shank. (But not tooo deep ... otherwise you;ll simply snap it off at the transition).Your Vise-Grip should be able to deal with it then ...
Or just grind the bastard below flush, and patch. cn
