SolaryMagnetic Induction Heater - Handhled Bolts Heating Removel Tool with 10 Coils and Portable Tool Box

I've seen these for a while and finally decided to buy one. I've used it a couple times and it does what it's supposed to. Comes in handy for places that you can't or don't want to use a torch.

Worth every penny I paid

Handy when you can't use a torch. I got this to add to my list of tools that get used for specific times. Priced very reasonable compared to the tool trucks. Does a really nice job for me so far, but I've only used it twice.

So I have an old Mercedes convertible. The external electric fuel pump assembly connects by means of a hose assembly to steel tubing with a double-flare connection. The car is an '88 so of course that steel fitting was rusted solid. I soaked it for several days with PB Blaster but it never came free, even to the point of starting to round the tubing nut (yes I was using good quality flare nut wrenches).So I think, what I need is heat and I looked at the oxy/acetylene setup in the corner of the garage. Open flame/gasoline line... Well, no. So more soaking, tapping with a hammer, etc. over the course of a week. Finally gave up for a while. So while cruising around Youtube one evening I came across a video of someone using this unit to break free a bunch of rusty nuts. I though just what I need! Heat with no open flames!So when I finally received the unit I bent one of the coils so it would slip over the end of the cut gasoline hose and I could hold it around the frozen double-flare nut. I slipped and hose clamped a long piece of heater hose over the cut end of fuel suply hose to vent any vapors away from the work area.I got in a position where I could bail out from under the car in a hurry and gritted my teeth. Pushed the button. Fitting turned dull red in about 20 seconds. My long hose was spewing gasoline vapors but since there was no open flame they did not ignite. I turned the unit off and hit the hot fitting with cold water from a spray bottle to shock it, followed by another spray of PB Blaster.Put the wrenches on and the fitting came loose with barely any force. No damage to fitting and more imporantly no fire on me or the precious Mercedes. Success!Kind of an extreme example and a lot of $$ to spend for just one job but it really saved the day and I think the operation was as safe as it could be. Anyway it worked and I survived! A great addition to the tool cabinet, I'm sure I will use it again, but hopefully not again on a gasoline line!

Finally got around to using it and it doesn't work. Fan runs but it doesn't heat the bolt. It's out of warranty so I'm out the money. I'd suggest buying one from somebody else. Big disappointment.

I like it

Bought this to aid in an exhaust repair. Got 2 of 3 manifold to catalytic converter flange nuts out. The third I ended up cutting then notching the flange, taping out the stud, and then opted to use a nut and bolt. Not even a torch would have saved me. Most of the stud was rusted away down to the nut anyways.Is this as good as a torch? No, but it's a lot easier and safer without that open flame to worry about.I've since used this to help my brother work on his car. I live in the rust belt so having this handy will save time in the future.

You may not need this every day, you may still use the torch for most heating jobs, BUT, when you are in a tight spot, and you don't want to set stuff on fire, this tool will save your bacon. Take the extra time, if you think the bolt needs heat, just do it, don't break it, don't strip it, just heat it up. Excellent tool.
