I called those induction heater bolt busters a gimmick until one saved me a 3 hour job
Swore they were just a $200 toy for guys who can't run a torch, then a 2006 F-150 exhaust stud in Rochester had me eating my words in 40 seconds. Any of you still torch-only, or did something pull you over to the induction side?
Bought a used one off marketplace for $90 thinking worst case I resell it. First job was a rusty O2 sensor on my neighbor's Tacoma that I'd been soaking in PB Blaster for two days, and it spun out in maybe a minute without rounding anything. Now it just lives in my truck and the torch mostly sits on the shelf unless I need to bend something.
