Review on 🔩 Nickson 17351 Clamp-A-Stud 1 1/4-2 3/4: Superior Stud Clamping Solution for Precise Sizing by Stanley Molden

This device is well designed but little known. O'Reilly's stocks a variant of this tool, while NAPA only stocks it in their catalog. I was told at my local NAPA store that they have never seen one and no NAPA store in the US sells this item - special order only plus shipping. Too bad it's one of those tools that will save you if you break a bolt while trying to detach the exhaust manifold from the catalytic converter flange, for example. If you do such a thing, the alternatives are bleak and this tool is a quick fix. However, my US made kit didn't come with all the parts I needed and I had to purchase a similar Chinese made kit from my local O'Reilly to ensure I had the correct parts on hand. replaced the exhaust manifold on my 2010 Equinox 2.4L.
