Amazing new stud extractor
46 studs out on 40 minutes. Only broke 2 & maybe could have avoided. 2 months ago they all felt like they would break. Soaked with Howes penetrant. Purchased this cheap $16 stud extractor off eBay $16 that you can use an impact on. Used my powerful Mac impact. I had to bore center of extractor all way through with 1/2 endmill as it’s hard. What amazing results.

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
I have one like that and decided I didn't like it. I didn't like the way it is hard to detect when a stud is going to break. The part you turn keeps moving and it is hard to tell if it is the stud or the tool moving.
I didn't use an impact with mine, though. Maybe that makes a difference. Mart. |

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
Hey Tony - what do you mean you had to bore the center all the way through? What is that all about?

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
It has a 3/8 drive square as well as the 15/16 external hex. I wanted it to grip at the base of stud as close to the deck as possible so I bored the center out with an end mill ( it’s hard). Now it drops all way down on stud. As well as impact I used a 1 7/16!wrench briefly on outer housing. Probably not needed with impact as once it starts to grip it keeps tightening its grip. It never slipped.

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
I think mine was the 1/2" drive version - it fits over without needing modification.

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
Kiwi, any chance you could video that process? I tried it and made a real mess. But I have no oxy cutting experience.
If you do film it on your phone hold it sideways. It makes a big difference to viewing. Mart. |

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
What does the inside look like? Jaws like a drill chuck? Does it mark the threads, are the threads reuseable afterward?

I'm glad to hear you had success with this unit. My buddy, who is a Snap On dealer, gave me one as well and he sells it on his truck. I did not have as good of luck as you did. At times, it would over clamp and I would have to take a breaker bar to break it free. The studs I was using it on gave me the fight of my life, so that could have something to do it as well. I still have it and will try it again on another project. Tim |

Re: Amazing new stud extractor
Thanks Craig. I have a full set of that style extractor unfortunately you cannot use an impact on them. I believe the impact is the key to this new extractor working so well. After close to 50 years of messing with these classic old engines along with many others, I have tried most every penetrating fluid concoction and every imaginable way of removing broken studs. For me I have narrowed it down to Howes penetrant & a drill & gas torch for broken studs. Quick & easy with zero issues. Thanks for your input.
