We do a good trade in sparking out snapped eezeeouts that the misguided have "applied" in desperation. They only work safely if a bolt has been "wiped" off sideways i.e. truly sheared off or snapped in tension.
If a bolt/stud has been twisted off, that means that the force needed to wring it off was less than the force to release the threads. A EZ will not help in this case, as it applies a wedging action to gain purchase in the drilled hole, making things worse...
You have been warned. I hate to see folks suffer needlessly and that's coming from a precision engineer!
