AnyThoughts On This Tool?


That design has been around a lot of years. I've never used one, bt know folks who swear by (and at!) them. Heat is recommended to help ease things along in all cases.
 
I've got one of those! Was given to me with a bunch of other old tools probably 30 years ago, so yes, been around for a while. Never knew what it was before. ...Never have really had a use for one, either. Seems all my studs/bolts break off too low to use anything like this.
 
Hello dachshund,

Yep that is the ticket. You just need to room to turn and voila! The stud will come out....

Thanks a LOT guys! I've never owned one, but have been thinking about buying one. I could SURE use it about now.....
 
I have two of those tools........used them many times on CYLINER HEAD STUDS in my 40 year Carrier:

Cat...G333...Climax K75...etc.

Hello dachshunt,

If there are enough threads you could try this. Run one nut as far as it will go, put a flat washer on and a second nut. Tighten and use an open end wrench on the bottom nut, and a socket on the top nut to remove the stud. Welding a nut on the stud would be another method.

Yes, that is a good tool for getting studs or broken bolts out.

A lot depends on why it broke.

If the threads are rusted or seized, the tool will only break it off again unless it is freed up first.

Soak it with penetrating oil, heat the block around the studs, hammer down on the end.

Sometimes the bolt needs to turn in slightly, anything to get it moving. Then turn it back and forth, each time it should get looser, progressively bring out.
 
Use the a lot at work to install 5/8"x8" studs. Works VERY well !!!! I'd heat around stud with torch. Melt candle wax around stud. Keeping stud warm. Let it cool to the touch. May back it out with that tool....Good Luck !!
 
thank you. Been in my tool box for years but didn't know what it was for. On the other hand I've never needed it yet either.
 
(quoted from post at 15:48:42 07/16/17) Does anyone use this tool? I have a couple broken studs on an engine, and was wondering if this is a good choice to remove them. Each stud has about an inch showing.

I bought one of those once from the land of almost right. Wasn't hard enough to dig into the stud. Just slipped around the stud. Maybe one made from better quality materials would work.
 
The trick to broken stud removal is not a tool but heat. Get that stud cherry red and it will come out easily with a Vise Grip.

ry parrot jaws, they grip much better than vise grips and tighten more as pressure is applied, sort of like a pipe wrench but better.
 
They work well but I would call them a destructive stud puller . There are some that use a collet and do not destroy the stud Snap-on.
