BUCK JONES ENTERPRISES

I HAVE EXTRACTED A LOT OF BROKEN AXLE STUDS. IT JUST TAKES TIME, A LOT OF TIME. THIS TIME THERE WAS 6 OF 8 STUDS BROKEN OFF BELOW THE HUB LINE. I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE A REAL CHALLENGE FOR THIS TOOL. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS USING THIS TYPE OF TOOL AND WITH SO MANY BROKEN STUDS I HAD TO ADAPT SOMETHING IN THE OTHER STUD HOLE TO KEEP THE TOOL STABLE. I WAS ABLE TO DRILL EXACTLY IN THE CENTER OF ALL THE BROKEN STUDS. THIS MADE THE EXTRACTION VERY EASY.
I EXTRACTED 5 BROKEN STUDS OUT IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES!! TRUE I DID HAVE ONE I HAD TO ENLARGE THE HOLE AND USE A BIGGER EXTRACTOR AND AFTER 90 MINUTES IT CAME OUT, BUT THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE THREADS OR EVEN CLOSE TO THE SIDES. I FIGURED THIS TOOL SAVED ME OVER 2 HOURS OR MORE ON THIS JOB AND POSSIBLY A NEW HUB.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXTRACTION TOOL SET
