[Shop-talk] removing studs quickly

[LSAPEX at aol.com]

I've used an impact by holding my hand around the stud remover to  dampen the 
blows.
An air ratchet works much better.
 
Les.

I  need to strip a dozen  aluminum heads for the scrap drive.

I  use a socket style stud remover with jaws inside to unscrew the 20  
or so studs in each head.

but, they require a hand ratchet,  impact gun "bounces" or wibbles 
back and forth and releases the jaws  , so the socket just spins.


what can I use for a power tool  that maintains constant pressure?

I have some electric drills,  but they dont have enough torque to spin 
out the studs, unless i  pre-loosen them with the  ratchet.


thanks
