Product Information
Full details
The Facom 286A stud extractor is designed for automotive technicians and industrial mechanics who require a robust, reliable tool for installing or removing stubborn studs. This heavy-duty roller-type extractor excels at providing a secure grip on studs ranging from 5mm to 20mm in diameter, significantly simplifying complex engine and mechanical maintenance. While its compact design and 1/2-inch square drive compatibility make it incredibly versatile, users should note that the tool's performance depends heavily on having sufficient clearance around the stud for the housing to seat properly.

FAQs
Can I use the Facom 286A with an impact wrench?
While the tool is built for heavy-duty work, it is recommended to use hand tools to avoid damaging the threads of the stud or the extractor rollers.
Does this tool damage the stud threads?
The roller-type design is specifically engineered to minimize thread distortion, though some minor marking is possible on very soft metals.
What is the smallest stud size it can handle?
The Facom 286A is rated to handle studs down to 5mm in diameter.
Does it work on left-hand threads?
Yes, because the tool is designed to grip the stud regardless of direction, it can be used for both installation and removal of left or right-handed threads.
Is the tool made of hardened steel?
Yes, it is constructed from professional-grade hardened steel to ensure longevity under high torque mechanical loads.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips on the stud
Clean the stud threads thoroughly with a wire brush and ensure the knurled washer is fully tightened against the surface before applying force.
Difficulty seating the tool on short studs
Ensure the stud has at least 15mm of exposed thread; the internal rollers require sufficient surface area to engage properly.
Roller movement feels stiff
Clean the interior housing with a solvent spray to remove dried grease and apply a thin layer of fresh machine oil to the rollers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile range handling 5mm to 20mm studs
- Heavy-duty, professional-grade build quality
- Compatible with standard 1/2-inch square drives

- Requires sufficient clearance around the stud base

- Not suitable for studs that have snapped completely flush with the surface
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Facom 286A is designed for immediate use with any standard 1/2-inch drive tool. Before starting, ensure the stud threads are free of excessive debris or heavy paint build-up, as this can prevent the rollers from seating correctly. To maintain the tool, wipe the internal rollers with a light degreaser after each use to prevent grit accumulation, which can impair the clamping action. Occasionally apply a small amount of machine oil to the roller pivot points to ensure smooth, independent movement. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the internal mechanism.
