Works great on black iron fittings as well. Has saved my butt several times working on boilers. Pays for itself almost instantly.

[@claudehebert3131]

Induction heaters are really effective for heating ferrous metals. There was one at the college I went, a big unit stuck on the wall, the coils were water-cooled (1/4" copper pipe in fact). You put a can of water on the floor, dropped a bolt through the coil, the bolt went red hot passing through and fell in the can and was instantly tempered. The big defect of these is, if you have a pacemaker or ressucitator implanted, stay clear of them as induction heaters are powerful RF emitters and will wreak havoc with the sensors.

[@nicke2307]

Im going to get one for frozen bleeders on calipers. Also exhaust manifold bolts are prime candidates for this tool. Not cheap but if you make a living out of it worth every penny

Thanks for clarifying, this indeed makes sense as not to have the element contact the piece you're working on.

I am very interested in your pricing for induction heaters made in USA. Do you also have flexible inductor 1~2mtr for this indution heater? If you have it, more variety range can be applicable including variety size of bearings.

Hello great tool.Very useful. thank you.

[@RealToolReviews]

[@SteveRobReviews]

Excellent tool. One year warranty seems a little low, I would have thought at least a five. 👍

[@RealToolReviews]

Steve Rob Well, keep in mind an entire shop using this on a daily basis.....there comes a time where they absolutely get their money's worth out of things. I would assume for them to guarantee a 5-year warranty, the price would significantly increase to pay for the people abusing the warranty process.

[@user-eh7hp2vy4g]

It seems like you really need to selvt the eight coil for the job . I also found the coulds dont last overly long and want to burn the coting off the coils

[@garylee9738]

[@jaydee3046]

[@caddiman9834]

How much is it and where can i get one. Im a mechanic in CT. and i really dont use torches.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The interesting question is, can you use extension copper arms from the tool to the coil? I would guess yes, as long as you keep those two leads far enough from each other (about the same distance as the tool as should be okay). That would allow keeping the tool on the ground and only having (thick) cord to the application point.

[@phillip_mcguinness7025]

You're better off running an extension cord to the handle on the high voltage side than burning it out running a very long loop.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@phillip_mcguinness7025 Sure, but some tasks may have so little clearance that you cannot get the tool near to application point. For such cases, it would be nice to be able to insert only some kind of (heavy duty?) wire + loop to the application point.

[@ImAChristianFirst]

I'm going to buy one because of bad experiences with seized bolts. This thing will pay for itself. Even though I am in the south our old vehicles still have a lot of seized bolts. wd40, impact wrenches, etc aren't working. I think heat is the only way. Also I don't want to break a bolt.

[@daviddriver5491]

The tool looks like it works great when you have enough room to access the stuck nut. What do you do when there is limited working space and that flameless heat system tool won't fit?

[@RealToolReviews]

You can bend the coil easily……It will work in most situations.

[@qualitytools8116]

Great video as usual, I didn't know this existed! I have a few questions, So do you have the touch the fastener when doing this or kind of hover around it? Is there a drawback if you do touch or just hover around what you're trying to free up?

[@RealToolReviews]

Qualitytools Thanks! You hover around it.....if you do touch the metal, then it can burn through the insulation on the coil and ruin it quickly. As long as you dont touch it, they will last a lot longer.

[@dubmob151]

@@RealToolReviews is the insulation on the coil heat resistant? In the old days they would have used asbestos, before it caused cancer.

[@hwingerrr5680]

I lined the coil with Kapton tape to prevent the original coil insulation from contacting the heated metal and getting prematurely degraded. Works perfectly for insulating the coil as it can take a direct flame without burning or melting.

[@Gw0wvl]

I bought a Induction heater from China for just over £20 delivered, It's not boxed though, So that's something I will have to do, But consider the price saving, I bought it to specifically help remove seized exhaust studs from a motorbike I've recently bought.

[@onlyme8870]

What socket set is that

[@Sabaka1954]

Nice video, but I would like to know how this tool works on a seized, rusted bolt. You use the tool to heat a nut seized on threads of a bolt, but not to heat a bolt. It makes perfect sense that if you heat only a nut threaded on a bolt, the nut will expand relative to the bolt, thereby allowing easy removal of the nut. What about a bolt that is threaded into a larger part? It seems to me that for heating to be effective, one needs to heat the larger part so that the female threads of the larger part expand relative to the male threads of the bolt. This tool could be used to heat the bolt head - but is heating the bolt head an effective way to remove the bolt?

[@RealToolReviews]

Yes. The heat breaks the rust bond which is what requires so much torque to overcome typically.

[@hwingerrr5680]

In that case it may be good to heat it up, then cool it with penetrating fluid before trying to remove it. That should help break the surly bonds of rust without having the heat expanded part jamming against the threads.

[@Sabaka1954]

I have not, and judging from the amount of power that one of these uses....I can’t see an effective (large) cordless version coming anytime soon.

[@rubenorodriguez5465]

[@BeardedWrencher]

as soon as I saw you bend the coil and tell us that it worked on an angle I went to Amazon as fast as I could type it out (didn't notice your link until I started typing this comment) It's an awesome tool and idea but $460.. ouch!

[@RealToolReviews]

BeardedWrencher Haha...yeah I thought showing the coil bending would be a good thing to add in. The cost is not cheap, but for the shops using this daily & not having to buy/refill gas tanks for a torch & the safety factor definitely makes up for it quickly.

[@geogeduggan6579]

Will it work taking a bolt out from engine deck on lawnmower ?

What kind of cool down time is on the coil after it heats a bolt? Do you need to watch where you lay it after use?

[@themechanic6117]

The coil cools almost instantly to the touch. U can even put your finger in the coil while its running n it won't burn you. Your finger will start to get warm (your blood has iron in it)

[@RealToolReviews]

adabezzi I lay it down on a hard surface to cool just in case, but it seems to cool off very quickly. It is creating magnetic waves, not heat.

[@RealToolReviews]

Jonathan Renteria You are braver than me....I see a red hot bolt & my fingers are no where nearby....haha.

[@geboyz]

Can you touch the part your trying to heat with the actual coil?

[@RealToolReviews]

geboyz You can, but it burns up the insulation on the coil a lot faster & ruins them. For longevity, it is best to not touch the coil to the metal.

[@seung-hojoo7705]

Shouldn't the coil touch the object it is heating? I think if it touches it its insulation should burn or scratched. If so, it would be difficult to hold the coil steady for a few minutes until it heats up.

[@Sabaka1954]

Tool heats by induction. If tool used conduction, it should contact the object. Induction does not need contact. Work piece needs to be within electro-magnetic field of tool. Look at Wikipedia for more.

[@leesire]

I have 2 frame body mount bolts that are seized. Need to remove both to attach the step bar to the 97 Jeep. All I can get to is the head of the bolt. Can I heat the bolt only causing it to loosen? I can't get any penetrating lube up to where the threads are. Don't know if that stuff works anyway. Remember , all I can get to is the bolt. I suppose the bolt screws into the body and there is no nut. Great video

[@RealToolReviews]

Yes. That is exactly what this is for. The bolt will get red hot breaking the rust bond.

[@leesire]

Real Tool Reviews that bolt is about 5 inches long and I am not able to get to the top of bolt where the heat is needed the most. I'll try and just heat it with a butane lighter and tighten and loosen and maybe hit on it a few times. This bolt is the body frame mount bolt.
