I'm curious as to why you didnn't drill ir out with a left hand twist drill bit. It would possibls bit on the second screw and wound it out. Honest question and I am not questioning your technique which obviously works. It's a case of _Curiosity killed the cat and the left habd twist may have brought them out. _
Cops are r-sole giving tickets for minor crap like that. Can't be any serious crime in the RNY that they have time for this petty garbage. A simple advisement the number plate light was out would have been more than sufficient but I guess the Traffic Thug Gang need any reason to pull you over and see how much cash they can seize from you.

I got some left handed drill bits after hearing how awesome they are. not really impressed. All they do is make a hole while spinning backwards. as you might think! Any drill that snags/grabs the work, is just as much at risk of breaking as removing the screw, and for me, they mostly just made a hole. Then, it's time for a screw extractor, just as with any normal drill.
Another disappointing mythical screw removal secret, like most magic secret penetrating oils are.
It just takes patience, experience, and often heat. No heat for license plate light lens screws, however.

Synopsis: IF the Manufacturer really cared about the customer, they would have used quality Stainless Steel screws, that will never rust (unless they're made in China)
KIA- take a hint from Honda Toyota and Mazda.
Better yet- BUY a Honda Toyota or Mazda
But then
Eric would not be able to make a video about rusty screws in a very delicate place
KUDOS for the Officer that taught this obvious out of towner and dangerous law breaking criminal a lesson in PRNY Law Enforcement -
and won a new friend from Georgia, AND helped up his quota numbers for The Chief

I'm generally in favor of law enforcement, but any cop who would write an actual ticket for no license plate light is simply a revenue agent; a glorified meter maid. Police are supposed to protect and serve the public. Riding someone a ticket for not having a license plate light neither protects nor serves. My guess is the majority of police cars have headlights, so they should be able to see a license plate of a car that they are behind. Why are there no requirements to have license plate lights on the FRONT plate (in the states to have 2 plates)

Dood, I learned a long while back that left-hand drill bits are the VERY easiest way to remove stuck fasteners. The heat from the friction and the constant torque in the lefty-loosey direction makes 'em just back right out. All with the bit, no extractor thingy needed. My parts house carries a LHDB for just such reason.
Try it sometime-then you might not need the ball peen and the torqx. It can be very much faster-it has been for me.

I'm a retired cop. With all the crap going on in the world today, and the LACK of enforcement that goes in in the St. Louis area. you're saying that this lady got a TICKET for no plate lights Now, I've used that as Probable Cause to stop a car. But unless it went downhill, usually a please get that fixed was all that was needed. WOW. that's as bad as writing a ticket for 5 mph over the speed limit on the interstate. Geesh!

You know how a bit grabs on metal just as it breaks through the other side That's what a left-hand bit does as you drill the into the center. Right when it nears cutting the head off it grabs and usually pulls the screw right out.
Heard you mumble something about it, but didn't hear left hand. This is the critical part of quick drill extractions with no other tools needed. I should send some bits up there I reckon.

Just like removing rivets on Aircraft.
If you don't 'chowder' the head first thing, you can mix a paste of powdered dishwashing detergent and the driver will potentially grip better.
Also, heating just the bolt (without heating the plastic; I used an infrared heat gun once (more like induction heater than just hot air) sometimes helps, though it's more applicable dealing with loctite than rust.

The best tip is to use a screwdriver that truly fits, with a fair amount of pressure behind it the first time it's undone. But yes, we know, that some jackass is going to have whatever rough old driver that's obviously the wrong size, shape, or type and not do it straight, in the vague hope that he/she or it, can get a little cheap soft screw out. Then, failing, forget it.

Gripedge now sells the mac rbrt under their own label, they are the origional supplier. A lot of times the tool truck brands buy exclusive distribution rights for 5 years and everyone that wants the brand new tool for an extra $150 has to go to them. After some amount of time the tool truck no longer stocks it because they lost their exclusively.

Ah, old unilluminated license plate light. A favorite probable cause stop for law enforcement when they want to pull a car over to find out who’s inside and then search the interior.
Defense Attorneys love to refer these stops as a Pretex car stop, especially if their clients end up being charged with various felony charges.

Not just license plate numbers but VINs too. Folks cover them up and/or won't disclose when selling their car like it's the car's social security number. News flash, you can walk up to any car in the grocery store parking lot and see the VIN through the front windshield.

One of the most useful things I’ve learned from Eric is the torx bit trick for extracting broken bolts or screws. I’ve learned many many others things from him but that really is a trick all should know. I don’t see it from many other people either.

I always use a left handed drill bit on stuff like this. You are right it's unlikely to come out with that alone but it sometimes works and even when it doesn't, i still get the hole i needed.
Its always great when it comes out while drilling it.

the broken screw extractors didn't bite into them I'm surprised, but then again, you have to push really hard and if those are the typical very coarse pitch threads rusted into nylon buttons, I can see it not going anywhere( been there done that)

I have recently bought some of those special plyers which are designed to grip knackered screw / bolt heads - the brand is ENGINEER (also known as neji-saurus) Search for them online to see what they look like. I love these great tools from Japan!

I don't understand why car companies can't throw in a few stainless screws once in awhile. Least in places that are likely to need removing after a few years to replace a bulb. So annoying they can't think enough for such a simple thing.

I love what you do! Only complaint is that I want to acquire many of the tools that 'feature' in your videos. The only saving grace is that the spouse understands that the right tool is invaluable. thank you for what you do!
