Extractors - Stud Removers

Extractors and stud removers are essential tools for any automotive mechanic. They are used to remove broken bolts and studs that have become stuck in a threaded hole. Extractors come in a variety of styles, each designed for a specific purpose.

• Straight extractors are the most common type of extractor. They are used to remove bolts that have been sheared off flush with the surface of the metal.
• Screw extractors have a tapered tip that is designed to grip the threads of a screw. They are used to remove screws that have been stripped or damaged.
• Impact extractors are used to remove bolts that are difficult to access or that are stuck in tight spaces. They have a hammer-like head that is used to drive the extractor into the bolt.
• Stud removers are used to remove studs that have been broken off below the surface of the metal. They have a sharp, serrated edge that is used to cut through the stud.

Here is a bulleted list of the different types of extractors and stud removers:

• Straight extractors
• Screw extractors

By using the right extractor or stud remover, you can quickly and easily remove broken bolts and studs without damaging the surrounding metal.
