    yep i was going to say that if not a good contact they can arc and blow a hole in the thin stuff . trick with them is no more heat to stick the studs then needed .i used side cutter grab them at the head part and with a twist they would pop off with out grinding them off many times i would reuse the studs

    The main place I need it is on the panel above the rear fender. I can't hit it,or pry it. A stud welder would be the next choice.
