Just came across this brilliant tool. It seems there’s quite a few makes and even a DIY kit to be had. Anyway, it’s certainly far better than the trusty gas axe.
This scores because it can be used near components such as fuel tanks or plastic. It's actually cheaper on balance. I don't have Oxy, Propane, regs, hoses etc which aren't cheap. This is very adaptable and can be used to heat stuff for oil quenching too. I'd like a hot spanner but that's not going to happen so one of these does look very attractive to me. I'd heat everything before undoing it. Great next to bushes that you don't want to set light to.
In the dark days of landrover ownership I bought a twin gas tank brazing kit from halfrauds, that’s was cheap and good enough to get my nuts clowing cherry redMe too Moggy, but there are times I just can't get enough heat into something like a track rod.
Yes I know the thing Shayne. The coily bit looks similar but that’s where it ends I’m afraid.I'm sure i've seen a similar tool for boiling a mug of water a whole lot cheaper than that
