Chris G, is this is the extractor which grabs the stud like a large collet chuck and you tighten it with a drawbolt?
If so, I agree 100% with your assessment of their powers. I have used them before [work place supplied, fortunately for my bank balance] and it is easily possible to get a non-slip grip on the stud as the 'collets' tend to bite into the stud [this is a good thing]. The only slight drawback is the length of the tool when you're working in some positions like exhaust manifolds, no such issue with head studs.
RPM, thank you for your compliments , but I have to confess my patience with this particular task was learned the hard way [i.e. by suffering the various outcomes of being, shall we say, impatient]
