STUD.25K05 - Stud-Xtractor Broken Bolt Removal Electrode 2.5mm 0.5kg

The Ultimate Solution for Broken Bolts

Every maintenance professional knows the sinking feeling of a bolt head snapping off, leaving a rusted stud buried deep within a casting. The traditional solution involves hours of careful drilling, easy-outs that often break, and the constant risk of damaging the internal threads of the expensive part. The Stud-Xtractor AC/DC 2.5mm Electrode changes the game entirely, offering a fast, reliable, and safe method to remove broken hardware without ever touching a drill.

This specialized electrode is designed with a unique flux coating that serves as an insulator. When you strike an arc inside the hole on the broken stud, the flux prevents the weld metal from fusing to the side walls (the threads) of the hole. Instead, it allows you to build a column of weld metal directly on top of the broken stud, layer by layer, until it protrudes above the surface. Once built up, you can weld a nut to this new extension or simply grip it with pliers. The intense heat generated during this process also works to your advantage by expanding the stud and breaking the rust bond, making extraction significantly easier.

Packaged in a convenient 0.5 kg pack, these 2.5mm (3/32") rods are perfect for smaller bolts and tight spaces where precision is key. Whether you are working on automotive engines, heavy machinery, or general facility maintenance, keeping a pack of Stud-Xtractor rods in your toolbox is an insurance policy against wasted hours and frustration. It turns a potential nightmare repair job into a five-minute fix.
