Product Information

Full details

The Facom 287B Roller Type Stud Extractor is an essential tool for automotive mechanics and industrial technicians who need to safely remove or install studs between 6mm and 16mm without damaging threads. Its roller-based mechanism offers a firm, reliable grip on stud shanks, significantly reducing the risk of slippage during high-torque operations; however, it requires sufficient stud length above the surface to function correctly, making it less effective for studs sheared off flush with the housing.

FAQs

Can I use an impact wrench with this tool?

While it is built for high torque, it is designed for manual hand operation. The use of high-intensity impact tools may accelerate wear on the internal rollers.

Does this tool damage the threads of the stud?

No, the roller-type mechanism is specifically designed to grip the shank of the stud rather than the threaded portion, preserving the threads for reuse.

What is the minimum stud length required?

You need enough length for the rollers to achieve a full circular grip on the shank, typically at least 10-15mm of exposed stud.

How do I choose the right size?

The Facom 287B series is available in specific sizes. Always ensure the tool diameter matches the diameter of the stud you are removing to ensure proper roller contact.

Is this tool effective for broken studs?

It is only effective if there is enough stud protruding from the surface to engage the rollers. It cannot be used if the stud is sheared off flush with the surface.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips on the stud shank

Ensure the stud is clean of rust and debris. If it still slips, the stud may be under the minimum 6mm diameter or the internal rollers may need cleaning.

Rollers will not grip

Check for debris or hardened grease buildup inside the roller track. Clean with a solvent and verify the rollers move freely.

Pros and Cons

  • High-torque handling capability
  • Dual-drive operation options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Facom 287B, keep the internal roller mechanism clean and free of metal filings or debris. Lubricate the rollers periodically with a light machine oil to ensure they move freely within the housing. The tool is compatible with all standard 1/2-inch square drive ratchets and breakers bars. When storing, ensure the extractor is placed in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid using an impact wrench on this tool unless specified by the manufacturer, as it is primarily intended for manual hand-driven torque application.
