PDGBIA says "This removes all sizes of bolts regardless of how it is stuck. " about Craftsman Stud Remover

I currently am a Soldier that does alot of do it yourself projects. However, my previous jobs in which I have used the stud remover include 10 years active Navy as a Machinist Mate and 12 years as a maintenance technician working for various plastic manufacturers. 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.

The only real drawback I have found for the stud remover is that the studs need to be at least long enough to be caught by half of the cam. The other thing I find is that no one knows how to use the tool or about its capabilities so the "cam lock stud/bolt remover" is not marketed really well and can not easily be found.

I am restoring a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A, I needed to removed all the head studs, and exhaust studs from the 62 year old engine block (to prep for machine work)

I did have to heat the engine block and studs with my oxy-ace torch before using the Craftsman Stud Remover....but in the end all the studs came out!! Great tool!

MNskier says "Good idea, poor execution" about Craftsman Stud Remover

MNskier — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:21:50 GMT

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.

MSRT says "Should be a "have to have" tool" about Craftsman Stud Remover

sears-feed — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:45:14 GMT

This should be a required tool for every tool box. However, quality is greatly reduced and not up to Craftsman standards. The gripping teeth are poorly cut or the casting is worn out, looks like a typical low quality import part not a Craftsman tool. Cutting cost on tools is never a smart move. I expect my tools to last many many years and this one will have to be replaced in the not too distant future....
