The Snap-On tool I used is like the one shown, the collet type. However that won't work where there are no threads, which is the case when a head stud snaps in the usual spot. The tool I used for that one was made for pulling 8mm studs only, i.e. made for a specific purpose. I have no idea where I got it or the make (see if you recognize the logo on the attached image) but it may have come from Stoddard Imported Cars back in the late eighties.
Looking down into the "business end" you can see what looks like four equally space rollers (like roller bearings) with the brass "race" ( easiest way to describe it) in between. It gripped the remaining shank of the broken stud great.
However this won't solve another problem; see coming thread "Exhaust Stud Replacement"
