FAQs

Can I use this tool on any size stud?

No, the Facom 287B is designed for specific stud diameters. Ensure you are using the correct size variant for your specific application.

Does this tool damage the threads of the stud?

When used correctly, the roller mechanism grips the body of the stud rather than the threads, significantly reducing the risk of thread damage compared to standard pliers.

What is the primary drive size for this tool?

The tool is compatible with 1/2-inch (12.7mm) square drive ratchets.

Can this be used with an impact wrench?

It is recommended to use manual hand tools like a ratchet or breaker bar to ensure controlled torque application and avoid over-stressing the stud.

Is this tool suitable for removing broken studs that are flush with the surface?

No, the extractor requires a portion of the stud to protrude from the surface to allow the rollers to grip the shank.

How do I determine which size extractor I need?

Measure the diameter of the unthreaded shank or the nominal thread diameter of the stud accurately using a caliper.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips on the stud while applying torque

Clean the stud threads of oil or debris, and ensure the tool is pushed fully onto the stud shank.

Difficulty removing the tool from the stud after installation

Briefly reverse the direction of the ratchet to disengage the roller locking mechanism before pulling the tool off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure, non-slip grip prevents damage to stud threads
  • Compatible with standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets
  • Robust build quality suitable for professional shop environments
  • Compact design allows for use in limited access areas

Cons

  • Specific to a single stud diameter per tool
  • Requires proper alignment for optimal gripping force
  • May not fit in extremely recessed areas depending on surrounding hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify the exact diameter of your target stud before selecting your 287B model variant. The tool requires a clean stud surface to maximize the friction provided by the internal rollers.

Usage Steps:

  1. Ensure the stud is clean and free of heavy debris.
  2. Slide the extractor over the stud until it seats fully.
  3. Attach your 1/2-inch drive ratchet or appropriate hex wrench.
  4. Apply steady, even pressure to engage the rollers.

Care Instructions:

  • Wipe the internal rollers with a clean rag after use to remove metal shavings or grease.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the internal roller assembly.
  • Periodically inspect the rollers for signs of wear or flat spots, which can reduce gripping efficiency.
