Powerbuilt 648639 1/4" to 3/4" Stud Extractor,Silver

Either the product is of poor quality or there is a manufacturing flaw, which I believe is the case. It cracked all the way through the metal base between the holes in three places. There has been no response from either the manufacturer or Amazon regarding the warranty. If you're not removing broken or seized studs, don't buy it.

You'll need a lot of access to the bolt, perhaps 1" or more protruding from it. Before you start spinning the stud out, the tool needs to rotate a little bit to bite into it. I was able to get it out with just a 90-degree swing of my breaker bar. It took a while to adjust- With one hand, keep the tool stationary on the stud, rotate the wrench to get it to bite in, and then start spinning. Basically, if you can only rotate your wrench 90 degrees (or whatever your restriction is), you want the tool to bite in as close to 0 degrees as possible.

Too well. I had to remove a bolt that I had overtorqued and snapped, owing to the fact that I reached it with a foot-long extension. My daughter's car's motor mount was stored in it. I needed the bolt removed as soon as possible, so I ordered three different solutions. One solution I discovered through YouTube videos was a super, amazing bolt remover by MAC TOOLS SXE7RBRTROR, which costs around $270 (Trust me, it's worth it!). This stud extractor was also an option. br>br> This will work well if there is enough material available for purchase. I tried this low-cost stud extractor, and it worked exceptionally well, almost to the point of being excessive. I was so excited to try out my new MAC TOOLS "toy," lol. br>br>I am certain that I will not be sorry for purchasing this Powerbuilt 648639 1/4" to 3/4" Stud Extractor,SilverClear.

I thought I'd be able to overpower the tool, but it held on and tightened its grip as I applied more force! Thank you! br>br> For the past week, I've been attempting to remove this bolt using various methods.

This was purchased in advance and has sat in a drawer for the past two years. I needed it, and it broke the first time I used it; lesson learned: only use tools that come with a lifetime warranty.

I was trying to remove a stud in a tight space under the hood and couldn't get it to grip, so I practiced on a previously removed stud to get a "feel" for the proper orientation. br>Also, the way this thing is constructed, it essentially has a drive extension that passes through the housing and connects to the black cam roller. When removing the tool from the stud, the extension may come off the roller and the entire assembly may fall apart; this isn't a big deal, but if you're working under the hood, dropping tools into small crevices can be a real pain. It's also a little big, so it might be difficult to fit into tight spaces. The price, on the other hand, is unbeatable!.

I'm currently working with rusted Model A Ford studs in water jackets. They break free without breaking in the block when I use a long bar and hit them like an impact wrench. This makes me extremely happy. The studs can withstand a great deal of bite.

Excellent value, especially for the price (less than $20). It worked great when I removed the head studs from my 37' flathead V8. If the studs are stuck in the block, there is enough gripping power to break them. My advice to anyone doing the same is to heat the studs with a torch, then let them cool down before applying penetrating oil.
