Review on ARES 70016 Damaged Extractor Removes by Daron Ellis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The boy does that grip thing!

Instead of digging through my bucket of nuts to use with the double nut method of pulling out the studs, I decided to give it a try. In use, it functions like a drill chuck in a drill. You twist the collar and the insides open. Then start turning counterclockwise. Then the teeth close and begin to cling to the hairpin on which a few chosen words have been thrown. Now, as it comes loose, the tool bites harder and harder. This is where the magic happens. If that doesn't work, you have no choice but to rip the burner apart in some way. Pros: Compresses more when you turn counterclockwise. Pretty small compared to other types of bolt pullers. Attach a crescent or box wrench to it. Cons: You can remove the 1/4" bolt but NOT the 6mm bolt. Not enough "bite" to properly hook a 6mm bolt. Hope this doesn't break, the rest of the stud is off and you'll need to use a flashlight or welder

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Unfashionable
