System removes broken bolts, studs.Mechanics need help removing broken bolts and studs. The Army now has a new extracting kit that makes the job easier. The X-tractalloy kit uses a welding rod as filler material to attach to the broken bolt or stud. along with a special flux that protects the threads. Once the melted rod comes to the surface of the bolt or stud hole, a standard grade 8 flat washer and nut are welded to the material. After the material cools, the bolt or stud can be removed with a standard wrench wrench or spanner Tool, usually operated by hand, for tightening bolts and nuts. A wrench basically consists of a lever with a notch at one or both ends for gripping the bolt or nut so that it can be twisted by a pull at right angles to the axes of the lever . The kit is especially useful if the broken fastener has a broken-off extractor or drill bit in it.
