Yeah I’m sure thats the name. Orange plastic box. Ok cool I’ll give em a try then.

According to the label you stick it straight down into the hole, it welds onto the broken stud or tap, the flux coats and protects the threads of the hole and you weld a nut to the other end and twist it out. Seems intriguing and a load of BS at the same time.
Sorry if I’m hijacking this thread btw.
I saw one of those rods being used at a local fab/machine shop to remove a broken stud. Amazing, threads still intact .
hey Mick, my friend's wife used to work for fastener supply outfit. I think that is a picture of those offset fasteners some people were asking about....
