In this video I show you how I heat up a bolt or nut using a method other than a torch. I show and use an inductive heater in this video to make a simple repair.

    Thanks to you and Rainman Ray i have learnt lots of usefull things. Was really nice to find out how especially the tap set is used, always thought the tool set looks complicated (not really have han an use for it either) ! Too bad an induction heater is too expensive, its a neat tool.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ParadigmUnkn0wn says:

    I ain't never had any issues busting a nut without heating 'em up first.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Just Tired says:

    “Made me pucker a lil bit, and I said ‘woah’” lol I like your style man

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Johnson says:

    IMHO I think it would be hard to get into real tight places like when you did the exhaust manifold on that Dodge truck.
    You should do a video on that when you remove exhaust manifolds on the dodge truck or a ford truck using the tool.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R Bwoodwork says:

    Nice! I would have really appreciated one of those when I was wrenching!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Spooner says:

    lol my day today yesterday and the day before….

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Moreno says:

    Have you tried cooking a sausage? Wonder how long it would take lol 😆

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will S. says:

    Got me thinking, I wonder if you could short a battery across a bolt or something to heat it up as a last resort kind of a thing

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mille chemins says:

    great for unscrew bolt close to the gaz tank, fuel line, this will fit good foe exhaust manifold bolt

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Vaughn says:

    I love watchen you I learn a lot

    Hey Eric nice shop 👍

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Patterson says:

    What was that… the Polish method? Oh you be nice now.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thao Trinh says:

    without a torch! but get this special tool instead, drop dead arsehole

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Schrauber Ermel says:

    👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J.G says:

    Man I order one cause there just some places you can’t stick a torch without burning shit

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Winslow273 says:

    That same bolt broke on my 2001 Sienna….should be a TSB and "soft recall" on those. 🤣🤣

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Dykes says:

    Poor bolt is screaming from the heat

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ta Dum ! Tss ! says:

    Perfect for hating up your sausages at lunch.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mazda626gtturbo says:

    The Polish way?? WTF dude go buy a Q hat

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrGruffy 44 says:

    Magnetic induction heater? I didn't know there is such a thing. I wish the auto makers would use all metric or all SAE. I hate it when they mix them. Sometimes no wrench, SAE or metric, will fit some nuts. Either too big or too small.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sarclifford says:

    heat definitely works to unscrew rusted bolts

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R.a. Wheeler says:

    "South bend clutch" It's good to see South Bend around something positive!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Flight Navigator says:

    Oh yeah, i have one of those in my pocket

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 6 weeks ago • 35 years ago says:

    Nice South Bend Clutch sticker.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scott FREE says:

    Spend more $?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnell Newman says:

    This video was great…not only did i learn but also this was hilarious never laughed so hard at a diy help video before 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Hicks says:

    Handy for re heating your coffee ! /UK

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike says:

    I use spray paint and a lighter to get heat. No lie

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Seager says:

    if we dont have a torch why would we have one of those things

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lonnie Chartrand says:

    If the insulation wears off can you use the tool dip stuff to redcoat it?

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lonnie Chartrand says:

    The only problem I see is that the bolts I have to get to are inaccessible with this tool.
    As a bench tool it would be great.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MaryandDale Davidson says:

    If you let the magic smoke out of those things they quit working.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Kelly says:

    "relatively safe until it's not" lol

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Kapel says:

    Well that was another great video you did keep up the great work man

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Foulk says:

    My buddy calls this the “invisible torch” OMG it’s a wonderful tool

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David frank says:

    I know it's been some time since you put this video up. There has been some other YouTube videos that have come out since then with the Chinese knock off of this tool. One YouTuber as he was videoing what he was doing plugged everything up went up to the exhaust bolt underneath the car turn the tool on and 5 seconds later a puff of smoke came out from the body of the tool.

    I had made one of these from eBay parts a few years ago. The only bad thing is that practically have no use for it since it's impossible for me to get it under the hood of the car to use it on one of the bolts. It's basically a bench top tool. It's still comes in handy on certain things. When I'm working on mine or someone else's gun and trying not to break screws I can put the part into the coil heat up and then remove.

    A lot of people really don't believe how he can make a difference. I have a good friend of mine who's quite a bit younger than myself and when we were working on the steering of my expedition we could not remove the pitman arm bolt and I told him just let me get the torch and heat it up. He insists that that would not work that he has dealt with stuff like this and just needed to spray some lube on it. 2 days later the bolt was still in place and this time I wasn't asking I went and pulled my torch out and in less than 2 minutes it came out with no problem at all. Now that he's a believer whenever he's working on something around the house he's using the torch all the time lol.

    Like always I enjoy watching your videos and I always make sure even if it's an old or new one to hit the like button and of course the first time I hit the subscribe button also. I figured that's the least I can do with someone sharing knowledge.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Waltz says:

    I bought one of these a few year back and it is a time and headache saver. They are quite pricey though

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Heydon says:

    I've never heard of that kind of a tool, but I'm also not a mechanic. However i do have a 6 volt/ 12 volt battery charger, could that be used to loosen stuck/ rusty bolts ?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff in TD says:

    I could see that being handy. Though I have a torch set, for a lot of people these days Tig will do precise welding, and cold cut saws and plasma do most of the cutting.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Boris ecneretz says:

    My grandson was scathing that I should be watching a guy removing a rusty bolt for half an hour. I thought the story had a classic plot. . The promise of the hero's early success only to be thwarted by the villain at every "turn' . Finally in the heat of the moment the hero prevails.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Tervo says:

    Thats incredable. Nice video Thanks!!!

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tyler krug says:

    I think we he says "torch",he is talking about a cutting torch,wich isn't cheap.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BrianHoff04 says:

    Yea.. I'm the machine shop guy that curled up a little.
    But, you got it & it'll work. That's the name of the game.
    Thanks for the video.

    gonna use the e-nail from my dab rig haha

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Von Milash says:

    Air fryer?

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wayne ploof says:

    try cooling it with water after it's red hot it will come apart so nice

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clayton Coolidge says:

    Another good way is those cheap midsized butane torches. I've gotten quite a few seized lugnuts off on the side of the road and it also works as a wire stripper a soldering torch also will braze small copper pipes and the help heat up lunch if needed

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron O'Dowd says:

    Great video I also like the Canada flag cup in the background
    I could use you look at my caravan lol
