I've have one that I got from the expensive truck about six years ago. It has saved my bacon several times when I needed to heat in an area that had other things I didn't want to burn. Mine was MUCH more expensive than that, but at the time, Captain Snap was the only one handling anything like it. Glad to see someone else has one now.

My boss bought me one of these for Christmas one year…I can’t tell you how valuable this thing is, I’ve used it from everything to seized nuts/bolts on small parts, to U-bolt shackle bolt/nut on peterbilt front suspensions. The bolt buster is one of my most used tools, and one that I would definitely recommend and would buy go get abother if anything happened to my current one. I only go to the heat wrench when I really need it.

A torch set is way more money. If you don't have a way to heat frozen bolts the induction heaters have made believers out of a lot of old school mechanics who still keep their torches in the corner collecting dust. Good video, no bull crap, straight up description of the heater. Thanks.

as a time served blacksmith, we are tought to pour water over the nut before ever putting a spanner wrench or socket near it. reasons twofold . one cooling the nut shrinks the nut first over the hot bolt that is still axpanded. in so is making the nut stretch over bolt and after bolt coools, it will most likely be finger loose but at original strength, secondly if moved while hot it could destroy threads completely because the metal is still soft

When you use the gas wrench, heat can be overdone. You always cool the heated fastener with water spray. That way you will not totally overheat the fasteners. That is how fasteners fail because of overheating. If there is a failure and the car is in an accident make sure your insurance is paid up as you are totally liable. Also, some of the sensors are magnetic sensitive. There is a reason why some garages just close their doors. Someone has to pay the lawyers and the injured parties. The rest of your video is just right on. You used all the safety procedure. Heavy extension cord excetera. Good job.

I've always been leery of torching (even propane/mapp) just because of the harm to stuff around. Invariably there's sprayed on sound dampening, rubber boots, endlinks, or something greasy right nearby. Add to this if there is good paint on suspension parts, it's no longer there after torching leading to more rust later. Heat also messes with metallurgy for heat-treated or high-tensile parts. Kroil (a penetrating oil) works well, but takes time alone. With moderate heat/spray/heat/spray it loosens most any rusty part.

It works by producing eddy currents to heat metal ferrous (magnetic) materials. Your fingers are 'dia-magnetic' and won't heat. BTW, the coils are called "work coils".

I found Oxy-Fuel a very useful tool to invest in. without it I may not have been able to do much of the work I did on my truck . I am thinking of the work it took to take apart the U-Bolts that held the broken leaf springs on my 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive which is a 1980 that was rusted pretty solid from farm duty . worth its weight in gold. a Blueshield torch kit ( various welding nozzle sizes and a cutting torch ) I rented the gas cylinders at the time but discontinued that due to endless cost and bought the gas cylinders outright.

Very nice, I can see where a tool like that would be very beneficial for a money making shop. where time is money. where perhaps a shop isn't allowed open flame tools . but 500 US dollars ( closer to 700 Cdn buckazoids ) for a tool that is very special purpose unlike an oxy-fuel setup ( I used mostly for welding and cutting ) the tool is just too pricey for a poor hapless tool like me. I'll keep using my torch and remove stuff like wheels to keep them out of harms way before lighting up. use of plate steel as shields for sensitive parts. takes a bit more prep but for me, time is not money. but still, very interesting reveal of what is obviously a tool perfect for buiseness where it would get a lot of use. oxy-fuel is very useful for heating and welding up exhaust systems. sheet metal on rust repair. cutting heavy iron like when my son constructed an I-Beam for overhead engine pulling system i my garage. so it wouldn't save me from buying the Oxy-Fuel.

Amesie--I've also seen KZfaq videos on this tool's competitor, the Mini Ductor II. The one thing that strikes me is that the coils used to remove fasteners are made so that the device has to be used straight-on. Neither manufacturer includes a set of coils that are oriented at 90 degreed to the bolt or nut. Your set had one extra "coil" that can be shaped for that purpose, but that's it. The tool body is quite large, which would be so limiting in many spaces as to make this thing useless. For instance, if you wanted to remove an exhaust manifold, you might have to bend the coil very tightly to 90 degrees to make it fit into the cramped area you have to work in. If they had included a set of "inline" coils, you could hold the Bolt Buster vertically and reach down in to work on the individual studs to remove it. There has to be dozens of situations where you can't use this tool unless you bend the coils to accommodate the cramped space you're working in. And even then, they might not fit. For the kind of money they're asking for it, I would have thought they'd throw in another set of "flat" coils as part of the kit, or at least offer them separately. You've used this thing now for two winters; is this a legitimate concern, or have you been able to work around it? By the way, this has to be the best invention in years for working on cars; my only concern is the with the coils.

I like this tool, for releasing seized bolts in water outlets etc. and in this video it shows you can loosen the tracking arms on a Honda, Woopee, BUT now go back and show me the bolt turning. The bolt is the part of this which actually makes the adjustment and they seize in the steel tubes in the bush. The nut ONLY locks it in place after adjusting the toe.You have only done half the job? I have been doing this job for over 40 years and as I said the induction heater is a great step forward so don't discredit it by conning us out here please.

@tony50065 жыл бұрын
Ok, I caused offence by using the wrong word so, apologies for that. I should have said it was misleading in that yes it shows you freeing the nut. But you said you were freeing this adjustment so that the tracking guys could adjust the rear tracking, all I meant was that you implied that by freeing the nut it would make the adjuster useable, all I was saying was that it may well not do if the bolt is also (most likely) seized. And I don't think it's easy to make videos at all and commend you for doing so.Tony.

Do induction heaters work on stainless bolts corroded in aluminum?
@walsakaluk4630 Жыл бұрын
It depends on the grade of the SS. If a magnet sticks to it it will work. It may not be corroded it could be galled... regardless, the heating expands the bolts then as it cools and contracts the galling may release it's grip. Be careful though, aluminium melts at less than red hot. You'd probably want to cycle the heating and cooling a few times rather than heat the heck out of the bolt. Practice on something that doesn't matter first.
