Heat Induction Tool for Seized Parts

Workers with upper extremity impairments or who cannot safely operate a torch can use heat induction to remove seized fasteners. This battery-powered Heat Induction Tool for Seized Parts emits electromagnetic energy to release ferrous metals from rust, corrosion, thread-lock compounds, fertilizer, dirt, etc. Because there’s no open flame, one can reportedly heat metallic objects near plastic components or combustible materials without having to remove or otherwise protect them. The tool comes with three coils (7/8″ pre-formed, 23″ U-form, and 41″ bearing buddy), LED light, usage indicator, fault-override delay, ergonomic grip, carrying case, and operator manual.

Cost: $500-$650, depending on model
