With the smaller dynabolts I have found if you can push the bolt in a few mm then you may be able to get a pair of needle-nose pliers onto the _split expansion sleeve_ then you have a chance of being able to pull the outer sheath up into the hole. This then allows the flair / flare on the _split expansion sleeve_ end to fit back through the hole and be extracted. The advantage if you can use this method is the dynabolt can be reused since you will have all parts of the fastener removed from the hole. I have been successful doing this about 75% of the time using up to M8 sizes. I haven't needed to use larger sizes so don't know of this will work on M10 and up because they have a thicker metal on the split expansion sleeve so it may not "unflair" itself enough to pull bac through the hole. *Thank You* for the video. It is always good to have another method to use if your goto one doesn't. Much appreciated. 👍👍

Excellent. Exactly the information I needed.

Dumb question….however, I have a 1/2” anchor that I am assuming is 3-4 inches in the concrete….what size core bit do I need?

Thanks, I am going to have to get one of those diamond bits. I have several anchors in the wall in the laundry from an old tumble dryer!

I’ve broken the studs flush with the floor by striking them laterally from two opposite directions with a hammer until the snap off.

Hahaha. I've lost count of the number of times that I've tripped over redundant anchor bolts. I usually just cut the buggers flush immediately the piece of kit is removed. There must be some scientific law that states that when being lowered down ,say, a drainage shaft, you will bounce off of every anchor stub that some lazy arse has left in place when removin an old access ladder or whatever. If there is one anchor stud in a room 30 metres by 30 metres, you will kick it the first time you enter that room!

Good tips. THANKS

Thanks for the video. I removed an old railing to have it powder coated, and plan to place it back in the same spot. Unfortunately all of the concrete anchors snapped off when loosening due to rust. Can I remove them with a core bit and replace with new anchors in the same spot? Do I need to fill the holes with anything before replacing the anchor in the same spot? Thanks in advance for your advice. I don’t really have room on the stair to move the anchor spots.

Lost count of the amount of times I've kicked one of these rusty old anchors. Angle grinder problem solved.👍👍

Random Question. Did you appear in the Robot Wars episode of Phoenix Nights?

Good vid , I think I'd choose the cut and punch method .

I see you have that Wera ratchet/hammer thing. How do you rate it?

I have used an oscillating hand tool to cut off the exposed anchor with good success.

What would you fill the hole with after removing the anchor?

I had never seen core drill method great if you need removal for any reason 👍🏻

What's wrong with countering the nut with another nut and then using it to turn the bolt out?

You have those T shirts available as merch?

👍👍👍Thank you

Nooice!

🤘😎🤘

Cut off with cutting disc ,???????

Have you ever used trip advisor? I have. See... my big toe? Ouch! Just being daft....as per.......

Why don't you just cut it flush to the concrete with a grinder?

I just cut those dynabolts

buddy... when you're cutting metal, never NEVER EVER use a wafer blade on you angle grinder. This is how 99% of awful accidents happen with these things. You MUST use a diamond coated CARBON STEEL blade. It IS more expensive, but significantly less likely to shatter.
