That was absolutely fascinating to see that bolt get red hot in seconds without the use of a gas torch. One of the mechanics in our shop swears by one of these things, though I think a cheap $40 MAP Gas torch would be just as effective if you didn't use it very often.
did you get the bolts out? i know the tool is ideal for nuts, and just ordered one, but im interested if the heat penetrated down the bolt to help remove it
Hey Bryan, can you use an extension cord with this tool as long as it's not excessively long? If I buy a kit that doesn't have pre bent coils included can I slightly bend the ones like you used in the video to suit my needs? Thanks for your video.
I would think that you could use an extension cord provided its not excessively long or really thin gauge wire. Also, yes you can bend your own coils, just make sure the loops have a small air gap to work effectively.
Hey man, I could have saved you the cost of that bolt heater, if you own an oxyacetylene rig. You can do the same thing with the cutting torch. Just swap the cutting torch head for a laarge welding tip, or a very small rose bud and get to heating. With the torch you have to pay attention to where you point the flame constantly or else you will burn yourself or something around you. If you take the torch and heat the bolt up, take your time to let the heat soak into the bolt as evenly as possible as the bolt gradually gets hotter check to see if you can turn it, often. It will come out, you may have to get it to a temp just before it liquefies, but it will come out !
Yeah, I have an Oxy/Acet torch, but the main reason for getting the induction tool was for confined spaces like under the car/jeep where there might be fuel lines or electrical wires. This bolt just made a handy demonstration. Im a big believer in having different options!
That insulation burned up cuz you didn't let it cool off long enough thats what the fan on the tool is for....i really hope you don't do the electrical on that motor your working on. 😂

Only if you have true MAPP.

Yes, I got them out before we sent the engine to the machine shop. This is the same engine from the latest videos.

Hey man I will try that on my rear suspension joints right next to the petrol tank, should be a gas man.
the induction heater he has costs ~200
An oxyacetylene setup will cost you around 250 plus gas.
Nice
How much that thing cost could you put a link to where you got it possibly?
I got it from Amazon. Just search for 'Automotive Induction Heater' , there are a bunch of them.
Hi prize kiya hai
