Broken Stud Extractor

[MGJohn]

Been a few topics about extracting sheered off studs and rounded bolt/nut heads.

Browsing ebay came across this item which is very similar to the old ELORA device I have used successfully:~

Draper Expert Stud Extractor

OK a tad expensive but, will pay for itself for any DIYer who uses it for the first time and again many times over. Mine has.

EDIT to add. Here's mine :~

Linky no workee.

These are very good for removing rounded off bolts:

IME studs usually shear off level with whatever they are screwed into,usually results in breaking out the mig & welding a washer & nut onto the remains.
The one shown in your pic is very good for removing studs - either intact or with sufficient remaining - without the damage usually inflicted by molegrips etc. I've got one.

A fine tool I have a similar Snap on type and an ancient britool one of similar type both are great tools for removing and replacing studs if there is enough forthem to grip , the pain come when the stud breaks off to short to grip , generaly easy out type thing are pretty useless as the tend to expand the stud because of the taper .Rigid pipe tools make aset of parralel splined removers that work rearly well and are supplied with a centreing devise to ensure central drilling , the were /are the the only things I had sucsess with in a 50 year involvement in numerous parts of auto and heavy plant industries , the trouble is some one wanted them too and they disapeared from my tool kit never to be returned

I bought one of the draper ones to replace an old Gordon tools one my dad stole back from me some years ago. It doesn't seem to like biting at all, plus the way it's made is frustrating as the disc pops off all the time. I'll have to go on a raiding trip for the 50yr old version me thinks!

These tools are primarily for removing studs that have not sheared off. If there is enough stud left to use one of these tools, then you can also use other methods that may be more effective (particularly welding a nut on).
