The Solary induction tool utilizes electromagnetic induction to heat magnetizable metal bolts/nuts, causing them to expand for easy removal. This process does not produce open flames, enhancing safety in the workplace and minimizing damage to the surrounding work area.

Finally got around to using it and it doesn't work. Fan runs but it doesn't heat the bolt. It's out of warranty so I'm out the money. I'd suggest buying one from somebody else. Big disappointment.

Better than a torch? Sometimes. This is controlled heat and often faster than a torch. Using a torch around fuel tanks or fuel lines can be hazardous, but induction heating is easier to control. This makes working around painted surfaces much easier. I find I reach for the induction heater more often than a propane torch.

You may not need this every day, you may still use the torch for most heating jobs, BUT, when you are in a tight spot, and you don't want to set stuff on fire, this tool will save your bacon. Take the extra time, if you think the bolt needs heat, just do it, don't break it, don't strip it, just heat it up. Excellent tool.

Saw this IH on video. Works well, especially given it's price. Using it to annealed cartridge brass. Just hand held and no timer yet. Just counting off seconds. Way more consistent and faster than other methods I've tried. Might try it on some bolts someday.

Works well, typically 30 seconds of heat is all that needed but that also depends on the size/ thinkness of fastener I am trying to remove. The fan comes on as soon as it is plugged in which was a bit annoying at first. I came to realize that this is a good thing as it serves as a reminder that the heater was still plugged in. The case is a bit cheesy but it is functional.

Just like the title says, this unit works great and it's a lot cheaper than the main player in the industry.

So I have an old Mercedes convertible. The external electric fuel pump assembly connects by means of a hose assembly to steel tubing with a double-flare connection. The car is an '88 so of course that steel fitting was rusted solid. I soaked it for several days with PB Blaster but it never came free, even to the point of starting to round the tubing nut (yes I was using good quality flare nut wrenches).So I think, what I need is heat and I looked at the oxy/acetylene setup in the corner of the garage. Open flame/gasoline line... Well, no. So more soaking, tapping with a hammer, etc. over the course of a week. Finally gave up for a while. So while cruising around Youtube one evening I came across a video of someone using this unit to break free a bunch of rusty nuts. I though just what I need! Heat with no open flames!So when I finally received the unit I bent one of the coils so it would slip over the end of the cut gasoline hose and I could hold it around the frozen double-flare nut. I slipped and hose clamped a long piece of heater hose over the cut end of fuel suply hose to vent any vapors away from the work area.I got in a position where I could bail out from under the car in a hurry and gritted my teeth. Pushed the button. Fitting turned dull red in about 20 seconds. My long hose was spewing gasoline vapors but since there was no open flame they did not ignite. I turned the unit off and hit the hot fitting with cold water from a spray bottle to shock it, followed by another spray of PB Blaster.Put the wrenches on and the fitting came loose with barely any force. No damage to fitting and more imporantly no fire on me or the precious Mercedes. Success!Kind of an extreme example and a lot of $$ to spend for just one job but it really saved the day and I think the operation was as safe as it could be. Anyway it worked and I survived! A great addition to the tool cabinet, I'm sure I will use it again, but hopefully not again on a gasoline line!
