[Heathkit] Help with removing of knobs fron N4VET and the winneris....

[wolfbob]

I have only seen this very small screw extractor at SEARS 
Craftsman Model 52157 "Drill-Out". It isn't cheap, like $29 
for 7 different sizes in  a set. It is designed to extract 
#5 thru #14 screws. It is the only extractor set that I have 
seen that goes below 1/4 inch. No problem with #6 to #10 
screws (or M3-M6). Being Craftsman, it is a lifetime 
guarantee which is very important for extractors.
HD really sucks for anything but "usual" tools. (not that 
Sears is much better)
