I have one. It is much better than a blow torch once you consider access! Also just better anyway (for the problem nut at least) Note: you only get so many goes with the elements but I have not yet finished off the ones I got with it, or the extra set I bought from AliExpress (different sizes)

My neighbour (at work) is a small garage business. I know he's had a couple of these miniductor tools, and they have both failed in service. That said, he does use an induction heater all the time and swears by it, I'm not sure what brand he has now.Richard

Thanks Mikey ive ordered one which from my checks and You Tube checks gets a good response for hone use and from Garages that have used it .It won’t get the same use as the like of your good selves would use one. Her indoors will be so happy if it fails lol 😂 I tried explaining its advantages lol but no light on so to speak.I had the usual you think more of that bloody car than me and treat it to everything your addicted says she who must be obeyed lol .Do any of you other guys have the same issues with your partner lol.Looking forward to trying it .

I have a theory on this. If you never question the new shoes, or the dress that you know will be worn once if it’s lucky, then you will be left in peace to do your man-maths and buy bits for Land Rovers.
