- Yes, these are "cool" tools but they do cause minor thread damage and need
- about 3/8" of the stud exposed. They were (are?) made by Hazette (sp?) and
- mine are marked "Made in W. Germany" so who knows...
-
- Unfortunately, they arn't cheap and I've only seen them on MAC and Snap-On
- tool trucks. I think I paid $60 for a set of 4 (5mm-8mm) about 10 years ago.
-
- Snap-On also makes an [expensive] collet type stud remover/installer. IMO,
- the cam types are worthless.
