Given that I've used them on metric studs sometimes, I imagine the metric version will work fine on imperial. What does help, if you've got the facility, is to heat the base of the stud with a gas torch immediately before removing it. However corroded, that usually means I can get all the studs out without breaking any.

At first I didn't find the imperial items on the UKTools site, so was wondering about using metric extractors on imperial threads, particularly 1/4" with the 6mm job, although 8mm and 5/16" are within a gnats.
