I was a magnetic induction thermal heat specialist for years and I can attest to how well induction works. First of, he probably didn't even need to heat it that long for it to work. However heating it too much is counter intuitive since the heat will eventually travel into the bolt itself and cause it to expand in the nut making it harder to break free. They make other sets of these with more attachments and some come with a long rope type for muffler installs. If you're a mechanic this is really a nice tool to consider. You may not need it often but I'm willing to bet that when you do you will be happy you have it.
Nice video! I am looking at buying one myself, and I find they come in different wattages, which can affect the time it takes to heat objects, as well as they need to be ferrous materials or it doesn't work, as they work with a magnetic field, and non ferrous metals don't react to magnetic fields. I have used propane, mapp gas, and oxy/acetylene all of my working life, and have yet to have a bad fire start, but it is much safer to use an induction heater, yet they can still cause fires if not careful with surrounding materials! But like gas torches, you can also use them to harden, temper and anneal metals, as well as solder, braze and weld if you are careful, and keep the time and heat as low as needed.
@@tribecreek My fear of fire is due to the vehicle I am working on, the Fiero. It had a reputation of burning, and the way the cooling vent in the trunk was made, it is no wonder why some burned.
Induction coils only work on ferromagnetic steel. All it does on other metals like stainless steel and aluminum is overheat and destroy the device, as no current is absorbed. That device also has a duty cycle, which to pushed right up to. Imagine turning off the spotlight to show the orange glow of the bolt?
You broken pinch bolt story sounds like a Subaru. Did you use this tool on the other side's pinch bolt? Im wonder how effective this tool would be on a bolt inside a knuckle like you encountered
This shows how you get ripped off by garages, Anyone could look at that nut and see it wasnt even touched yet the mechanic stated he couldnt get it off, how much did you pay him at the time? I would show him a picture of the bolt and demand my money back.

Thank you for watching and the good info.
Thanks Dude! We definitely owe you a beer!!
Your video went out with a bang👍 good job
Appreciate it!

Good info, thanks for posting this. Me and fire don't get along, I'd be the guy who accidentally melts a wiring harness or something dumb like that.

@@tribecreek I did buy one of the units, and it works great!
@@jeffreyyoung4104 great! its tricky to get in some tight spots, but the long wire that you can custom bend seems to help out.
Thank you for this review. Does this work on copper tubings?
No, these tools don’t work on copper.
Good Info!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks, I hope it helped you out.
Weird.
Pretty cool though.
Thanks for the review.

Never ever take the heating element off if its still plugged into electric, it destroys them!!
Good to know, thanks!
doesnt it comes with an on/off switch?
nice job, next time wait and let the bolt cool down before applying force on it
Thanks.

This shows how sponsorships are to sell products
It was like 2 minutes but you didn't need a tourch and have to keep gas in them
Thanks for the comment, and gas isn’t cheap either these days.
Christ couldn't you at least used a wire brush for the threads ?
In retrospect, that would have been an excellent idea.
