Abstract
A weld-on damaged fastener removal device has a weld cup with a deep concave form, and a detachable handle attached to the weld cup. The weld cup has a base and sidewalls that define a hex-shaped outer surface for accommodating a drive tool for rotating the device. A circular hole extends through the base, and a cone-shaped protrusion surrounds the hole. In use, the weld cup is positioned with the hole in the base of the weld cup aligned with the fastener, and the cone-shaped protrusion protruding toward and engaging the exposed end of the fastener. The handle is used to position and hold the weld cup on the fastener while welding the device to the fastener around the perimeter of the hole. A wrench or pry bar can then be used to apply a rotating or pulling force to the weld cup to remove the damaged fastener.
