Left handed bits are the hot setup, OK. The drawback to EZ outs is that if
you break one off flush, or lower, you now have way more problems than what
you started with. They are nearly impossible to drill. It's been my
experience, mostly learned the hard way, that if a left handed bit will not
get it out an EZ out will not work either.
