My only regret is that I did not buy this tool several sets of manifolds ago, it is much smaller than traditional stud extractors, the tapered chuck allows easier access under confined conditions, and it has good gripping qualities. I have had no problems so far with the construction or functionality. It helped simplify this job for me to use this tool on the chassis I've worked on. There was only one bolt that I couldn't use it on, but overall it was a lot easier. The purchase has been a great success.
In fact, I was ready to give up when I saw the 1/4 inch gnawed off stud my mother in law left me. But I decided to at least try it before sending Despite the little space, there was still about 1/2 inch left after it was the tightest I could get it, I heated the stud up with propane and it came out so easily! An aluminum screw head was snapped off with water behind it and a 7/16 hex head behind I think this was the best money I ever spent.
However, it didn't work for what I needed, it is a nice tool though, you just need to make sure the thing you are removing has at least two inches sticking out of it if it is.
I appreciate the speed of delivery and the lack of.
In an emergency I had to remove turbo studs from underneath, and this saved me heating each spot for about 5 minutes each with a propane torch) amazing structural impact resistance! The 10th time I've saved my life. I would recommend this product for 50 dollars.
I bought this to get rid of a stripped bolt after I spent a couple of hours trying to remove it. It took me less that a minute to get rid of it.
There is a broken stud on the exhaust manifold. There was no response to heating, oiling, or using vice grips. Using this stud extractor, it was out in no time at all. The price is great for what you are getting. The rebuild is much less expensive than tearing it down and having it replaced by a machine shop. This was a functional device.
My son's 1997 Expedition had exhaust manifolds that had broken studs, and I used this tool to remove the broken studs. This thing holds a lot of torque and is very useful, as it can take a lot of torque too.
