New invention for stuck case removal , that doesn’t work

[Muddyboots]

Personally, I would bury it in a battlefield and it will probably identified as an old surgical tool

I think the secret is the stuff has to dry.

You are 100% correct. I have stuck one case and my son stuck two cases by not letting them dry. A little patience goes a long way.

Only ever stuck 1. drilled and tapped flash hole for 1/4" fine thread bolt. threaded a bolt thru a 3/8 drive socket that fit the end of the die and pulled it right out. Never tried the california way.

Little late for that! good idea , I'll call it the California special.
I thought a few guys would relate to this post and some get a good laugh.
Now you can see why I didn't go into gunsmithing

Wrong move has to HURT !

LIVE & LEARN

I would sell it on E-BAY they will buy anything there !!

Yeah , I could describe it as a tent stake or a dog stake !

Try cutting it off again about an inch from the die. Put it in the press upside down and press out the case with the handle.

Perfect then I could still use the bit

I know it's too late to post (hind site and all that) which is why I didn't bother before. Easy enough to make your own. I made this stuck case remover kit out of items from Ace Hardware and worked like a charm. I've lent it to a buddy after he spent hours trying to get one of his out and worked perfect for him too.

This is of course AFTER I already had a stuck case and spent hours trying to hammer out the case with punches. Amazing how much hammering force they can take and not budge. It was nice to have the 2nd time and made short work out of it.

Thanks, great idea and have all those , should have tried something like that instead of the old hammer .
I think I'll retire my method and try yours. ⚒

in the old days we used STP oil treatment. You will never stick a case with that stuff but it is a bugger to get off them. Let's just say it penetrates the metal as intended. Imperial sizing wax was and is the only thing to use for heavy case forming.

I was thinking about sending it to you for a tent stake for your new tent trailer .

1) This only happens when all the stores are closed.
2) It also only happens it you do not have a stuck case remover, or cannot find the one you bought "just in case" years ago LOL.
3) Murphy was one cruel dude.

about 25 years ago I labeled one of the drawers in my reloading cabinet. It is listed as "Stuck Case Removable Kit"
I have never used it so this post reminded me. I'll have to go to our shop and take a picture.
Hopefully I won't need it and will probably have someone ask for something like this in the future. I'll have to re-visit this tool.

BETTER TO HAVE IT AND NOT NEED THAN TO NOT HAVE IT AND NEED!
If anyone needs help just PM or Better call us 678-427-6168

No problem ,I new I would catch some flack , and I know a bunch of guys probably have done the same thing , but don't want to post it.
So far 99% of the replies are great ,1% I won't comment on, Due to being in Lens living room.

Been there and done that too. I had seen an RCBS case remover at a friends shop once. Stuck a case 1 night, Had a 1/4X28 tap in shop and proper drill, Drilled and tapped primer pocket, Picked the proper 3/8 drive socket to slide over the case, Added a washer. Clamped die in leather padded vise, Screwed a 1/4X28 bolt into the case, Put the torque to the bolt. Out came the case.
