    Stripped head bolt hole !!!

    Actually it was quite easy once I got the correct drill motor. The torque my small 1/2" drill puts out caused the bit to grab and spin me in circles, LOL. Once I put my Milwaukee HoleHawg on the job with it's extended torque absorbing handles it was a breeze from there !!!
