I guess I could see where it would work for smaller things such as brake bleeders. I certain that it does have it's place & uses, however I was lead to believe it was the tool to use for removing stubborn exhaust bolts which I found not to be the case. Perhaps I expected more than the tool is...

After reading the reviews & researching the tool, given it's cost & the belief you get what you are paying for, I gues I just expected more. Inductive has given my Snap On dealer the ok to give me a full refund. Lesson learned. Thanks for all the input.

Bottom line is it will do pretty much what a heat gun will do at 7 times the money.

Will heat a stand alone bolt. Not enough heat generated to offset the heat sink effect of the manifold. Just got off phone with mfgr. They admitted it is not a good fit for the application I am trying, therefore making it a useless tool especially for the price. Very limited uses.

Make me an offer. It is 2 weeks old.

I will try wire brushing the nuts/bolts & see if that helps. Thanks for the hint.

Doesn't seem to produce enough heat to to get the nuts hot enough as the manifold absorbs much of it unlike a torch's faster & more concentrated heat. Yes, it will heat a blot/nut as long as they are not connected or in contact with another object. Just not enough heat fast enough to avoid...

Maybe have a defective one. Certainly not impressed with it. Just saying. Any tips or hints on operating it would be appreciated.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. THIS TOOL IS A GIMMICK. i PURCHASED ONE & WAS ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NUTS ON A FORD 5.4L. TOTAL JOKE. WOULD NOT GET THE NUTS THE LEAST BIT HOT ENOUGH TO LOOSEN. sTICK WITH YOUR TORCH & AVOID THIS WASTE OF MONEY. BOGUS TOOL.
