Are toools like this worth to have? They seem to run about 25-35 dollars. This is a craftsman one for $25. Do they work well?

Thanks

I only use a set I bought from Matco. Theyre handy as a pocket on a shirt. Theyre a better value, if you ask me, for a 4 piece set instead of those worthless roller type things.

Pipe wrench wil just slide around it if its real tight,that stud remover will get tighter the more pressure you put on it.

Those things are about as worthless as vise grips on studs. I cringe when i see pipe wrench marks or vise grip marks too, btw.

Don't remember the model, but Vice Grip has a plier that works better and is easier to use. Its a funny looking pair of jaws. The top jaw resembles an eagle's beak.The problem with the one pictured is quite often there isn't enough clearance between the stud the next one to turn the tool.Have had one of them for over 40 years and have hardly used it.

Hello 1 Dollar.
That tool on the picture works fine if you have the clearance to use it. Best thing I found is to use 2 nuts with a washer in between then. Get them good and tight if there is enough threads to do so, and it works fine.If the threads are gone, then you can weld a nut to the stud to get it out.
Guido.

Best method I found is to weld a bolt to the stud. Useful for stud stumps, clearance and the heat doesn't hurt. Worlds most expensive stud extractor.

That one and other sap off ones are what you pay for and won't work well on frozen rusted studs. Save your money if you don't do many as you'll need heat from a torch anyway and vise grips or pipe wrench if double nut fails or have to blow them out if broke off deep. OTC Tools has some stud removers that will stand up if you do a bunch and one that's even made to use with a impact. Proto use to make some good ones too years ago but then the foreign merger happened and they may or may not be any good now.

These worked pretty good - but they ain't for the average home owner...not cheap, either!

I used to buy a lot of stuff from Power House Tools for work. If you need extreame tools, they've got them. Sometimes the high dollar tool is cheaper in the long run when weighed against man hours and schedules.

No they destroy the stud in the process of removal.Do what Mike said and use heat if required.The trouble with new hardware is its all imported junk so I like to keep my old studs intact.

Make sure you have the same size stud remover for the stud you want to remove,if your remover is too big it will not work well.I like the Snap-on better than the Craftsman.

They work fine, but if you only have to remove an occasional stud, you can double nut the stud, then use a wrench on the bottom nut to unscrew it. Put the correct size box-end wrench over the stud before putting the nuts on. It is easier to twist them off that way, so be careful.

Tried that and even triple nutted the stud in question (long head stud)and still couldn't get it out. Went to NAPA and got one of these, sharpened the teeth a little with a file, and it walked right out.

Maybe I got lucky

they work fine if you have some bolt or stud to get a hold of way better then a vice grips
