Good idea, poor execution

Seemed like it'd be worth a try. Wouldn't grip my 10mm stuck studs. Just slipped and ruined remaining threads. Cheap steel. I hate to return tools, but this one is going back. It's over priced by a factor of two until it gets a thinner profile, chrome coating, and machined/laser cut gripping teeth.

I expect my tools to last many many years and this one will have to be replaced in the not too distant future.

Regardless of the size of the broken bolt/stud or the how it was stuck for example - rusted in or cross threaded. I have found the cam lock stud remover dependable in its ability to extract the bolt. When the stud remover slips over the bolt and starts to torque on the targetted bolt; this product has never slipped on me.
