Product Information

Full details

The Facom 287B Roller Type Stud Extractor is an essential precision tool for automotive mechanics and engineers who need to reliably remove or install studs without damaging the threads. It features a specialized roller mechanism that grips studs firmly during high-torque applications, making it ideal for engine block and manifold work. While highly effective, it is a diameter-specific tool, meaning users must ensure they select the exact size compatible with their specific stud dimensions for optimal performance.

FAQs

Can I use this on damaged or stripped studs?

Yes, the roller design is specifically effective on studs that have damaged or rounded heads, as it grips the shank of the stud rather than the top.

Is this tool suitable for stainless steel studs?

Yes, but use caution with high-torque, as stainless steel can gall. Use a penetrating oil to assist if the stud is seized.

Does this tool work with an impact wrench?

Facom recommends manual operation with a hand ratchet to maintain maximum control and prevent damage to the rollers, though it is built for high torque.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your stud diameter with a caliper to ensure you are purchasing the exact 287B variant required for your hardware.

Does the tool mar the surface of the stud?

Minimal marking may occur due to the high-pressure grip, but it is significantly less damaging than traditional gripping tools like pipe wrenches.

Troubleshooting

Tool fails to grip the stud.

Ensure the stud diameter matches the tool size. Clean the rollers of any debris or grease buildup.

Extractor is stuck on the stud.

Try turning the ratchet in the opposite direction slightly to release the internal roller lock before pulling the tool off.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your 287B extractor, follow these best practices:

  1. Compatibility Check: Always verify the diameter of the stud before use. Using the tool on a stud that is too small or too large can result in poor grip or damage to the rollers.
  2. Cleaning: After use in oily or greasy environments, wipe the internal rollers with a clean cloth and a degreaser. Accumulation of grime can cause the rollers to stick and fail to engage properly.
  3. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the moving parts to ensure the rollers move freely within their housing.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, organized toolbox drawer to prevent surface rust and avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture.
