A Cool Tool for Removing Rusted bolts and fasteners

In this video we show a way to remove rusted bolts and fasteners from a flat head ford V8 with a cool tool that we purchased. Its called the Mini-Ductor by Venom. We haven't had this tool very long but we've already used it in a few instances that has really saved time, labor, and not destroyed the part. This is a very handy tool for our auto restoration business.
UPDATE , please watch latest videos where we use this in areas that a flame COULD NOT be used. That is our most common question. Thank you.

I work on semi-trucks. I bought a Mini-Ductor II from Mac to heat exhaust studs and nuts and to heat bolts hidden in mazes of wires and air lines where you cannot use a torch. It works well. And while i paid the price for it, the biggest return is to my customers in labor and parts saved

That tool costs more than all my projects are worth! But still I wanted one...so I talked to the wife about it, whether to go for the complete kit, or just the gun with a few selected coils for the popular sized fasteners on my bikes, and after about 30 minutes we both decided that a new sofa would look lovely in the conservatory!

An old trick I learned from a old school mechanic back in the day.. take a chisel with a flat end and a decent hammer and hit the top of the bolt head 2-3X. And try loosening it.. if it's still thought to move, hit it again..

This has worked for me many many times.

I'm all about it when it hits harbor freight shelves!

That was just the thermostat housing, I want to see you try the exhaust manifold

induction heaters are nothing new, just new to snapon

Watching a stuck bolt slowly come loose with a socket wrench is my new fetish.

About time. In 1971 I worked in the power generation business on steam turbines. Horizontal joint bolts were 3 to 4 inches in diameter with a 1/2" diameter hole down the center for a torch or Cal Rod for heat. You'd tighten the bolt as much as you can with a sluggish wrench and then heat it with a cal rod to expand the bolt and then calculate the bolt stress you want based on bolt stress and tighten up the expanded bolt a measured number of bolt flats.

Induction heating has been around for over a hundred years but this is the first shop sized portable unit I have ever seen.

I want to listen to more of the guy with the tool - relaxing voice!

[joemama]

Had a coworker that bought this and it does wonders, way better than a torch

Induction heating is not magic. What's magic is that expanding a bolt makes it looser, not tighter.

[RearEngineShop]

I use my mini ductor all the time at work. It’s great when working in tight spaces where you don’t want a flame.

I was working with induction heating coils 30 years ago!!!
Used for hardening the tips of a threaded bolt in order to allow it to cut its own thread on application.

[CBeard]

Great for warming up that cold coffee too!

[paulg]

I suggest you let the nut go through a heating and cooling cycle and then try turning it. The heating and cooling should be enough to break the rust that is locking the threads .The induction heater also heats the bolt and it may become soft enough to twist off

[iamgoat]

another added technique on really ruusty bolts in addition to penetrating oil is to go back and forth in tiny increments [ loosen, tighten, loosen, tighten etc]and increase it a bit each time maybe applying more wd40 as you go. i did this removing sparkplugs in old 5.4 L ford engine. they scxreeched so loud i thought for sure 3 out of 8 were gonna break but it worked none broke bad enough to need trhe extracrtion tool i alreadsy bought

[nicholaschriss]

Yeah, I think my oxy acetylene torch does the same thing!

[timothygrasmick]

For the price, these work great. The shop bought us one from MAC and I will gladly use this over flame.

Simple electronic principle of indiction. This concept is used in many manufacturing environments. And people say there are no opportunities to invent new things. Somebody took a simple concept and applied it to a need outside its usual applicative environment. Blue Collar genius! Cheers.
