That is such an oddball thing... Theres a bunch of those out here, but I think they are electric city things for rich people who live near the beach to take to the grocery store & to the beach

Yeah they are electric, and common in the extremely wealthy areas along the ocean here as well. They're pretty expensive.

So I've always been shit at extracting snapped off bolts with the welder method...
I snapped a head bolt on my D2 so I've been trying again using the washer+nut combo and still no dice.

Anyone have any tips and tricks? I'm about to give up and try drilling it out.

I use a bolt extraction kit.

Essentially drilling into the broken bolt, and tapping in a tapered bit with counterclockwise gripping fins.

I've never used a washer in that method.

Straight to the nut.

If the broken piece is very uneven, you're going to want to drill it down so you can center a hole with some accuracy or the drill is just going to run way to the wall of the hole.

heat is going to be your best tool here. The welding trick is good one because you now have a hex head again and two the intense heat
