Use 6 point wrenches and sockets. Avoid using 12 point wrenches and sockets to prevent rounding off the nuts.

I like not having the flame from a torch which is hard to control. very interesting tool !!

After heating water it down it makes it more easy

Great tool, makes a cup of coffee in about 3 seconds ;-)

you can use a squirt of penetrant also to help cool it down. it will smoke alot so dont breathe that in. But the metal or steel is expanded that the penetrant should flow through which will also help overall

Very good tool to save time

Very cool.

"Old Man Method": after cherry red, douse with cold water until it quits sizzling... Almost comes apart by hand...

I like that!

Smart!!

They have no idea...

wished i had this when i had to take a shackle bolt out near the gas tank, as i held my butt heating it with an acetylene torch (i did put a shield on the tank and ended up also ordering this tool from Amazon)

The temperature it reaches with this thing is actually dangerous too. It could easily ignite something or causing pressure to form. Know what you're doing, that's the way to go.

My impact always rips shit apart :)

Get it red hot and then put the water hose to it until cold!

i did this once with a torch, and the darn ball joint exploded like a rocket and almost killed me... i guess the grease built up pressure in the ball joint area and exploded1 i now drill or torch a hole to remove the pressure from the ball joint, in case the grease decides to explode. I am lucky to be alive!

I want this mision

I would just cut ithe ball joint in half with my Sawzall. Ball joints come with new bolts most of the time. Cool tool though.

6 point impact is the way to remove these after getting them cherry red.

I am having to drill out a broken bolt on a propane tank---capacity gauge leaks----needs new gasket---1 bolt of 4 broke off down in hole...tried PB Blaster, Kroil oil and even acetone and ATF. Nothing helped. Was wishing there was something like this to apply heat...couldn't use a torch of course. Purged tank---still produces fumes though. Laid wet towels all around where I was trying to drill the stub out. Still working on it (when I feel like it) cause I don't want to approach it frustrated. Would this tool be dangerous to use in this instance? I had seen where some suggested using a soldiering iron. Didn't feel that could produce the heat needed to expand the metal enough to get it out. At the moment I am using left hand drill bits to eat out the bolt and extractor bits. Slow....slow....slow....easy....easy....easy. Any comments, suggestions and/or advice greatly appreciated here. Jesus bless.

Powerfully expensive tool!

3 or 4 drops of fuming hydrochloric acid will eat through the rust right into the threads, making it easy to remove.

Can't be tight if it's a liquid

The battery in your fire alarm is low

Squirt some water oil anything couple times hot cold impact off

Wait till he gets his electricity bill; it would have been cheaper to buy a new car.

Really when you're f****** pulling on a f****** 8-in wrench. I would have grabbed leverage Bar had that off in one second

those things send out radio waves that can give you arthritis

You spent $500 on that tool and you couldn't buy a $150 air impact? Give me back my 3 minutes of my life you took back

God this was terrible.
