Bolt Pro Inductor
10
The Bolt Pro inductor is used for intense heating of rusted or stuck parts such as nuts and bolts. When
using the Bolt Pro tip to loosen stuck nuts and bolts, it is OK to use full power to start with. Other uses
include caulking removal from truck beds and trunks of sedans, as well as soldering large electrical
connectors and metal forming.
Removing stuck or rusted bolts:
The Bolt Pro is particularly useful in removing stuck or rusted nuts and bolts. It is better than an oxy-
acetylene torch in several ways:
1. It heats only the metal parts positioned within the gap and without flames that can set fire to the
many plastic parts in today’s cars. Thus, reduced fire hazards.
2. Unlike the torch which tends to heat both the nut and the bolt, the Bolt Pro can be applied to the nut
only, heating it and making it expand more than the bolt and thus easier to break loose.
3. The Bolt Pro plugs into the CarDuction 33, it is light weight and portable, and ready for instant use.
4. It is not necessary to heat fasteners to a red color. In most cases, only mild heat is required to free
the seized fastener. Prolonged exposure of the Bolt Pro Inductor to extreme heat will shorten the
life of the inductor, and could cause un-warranted damage.
5. It is recommended to maintain an air gap between the bolt pro inductor and the part being heated.
A small piece of welding blanket or fiberglass cloth can be placed over the jaws of the Bolt Pro
Inductor to help shield it from the radiated heat from the fastener, as well as protect it from
accidental contact with a hot part. If the Bolt Pro inductor is in contact with the hot part, it could
cause un-warranted damage. The maximum temperature allowed for he inductor is 150°.
Bending metal parts:
The Bolt Pro can also be used to rapidly bend small round or flat steel stock for most any purpose.
Soldering large electrical connectors.
First crimp the connector to the wire
Place the barrel of the connector in the corner of the jaws of the Bolt Pro Inductor.
Apply heat by depressing the foot switch.
Apply solder once sufficiently heated
Shrinking sheet metal:
Place the end of the Bolt Pro tip onto the area of the sheet metal to be shrunk. Leave a small gap between
the tip and the sheet metal if possible. This will help extend the life of the tip. Activate the switch and heat
the metal to your liking. Tap the high spot down and cool. Grind area clean prior to shrinking to help
eliminate toxic fumes and smoke.
NOTE! Never apply power to an unloaded heating inductor. The body panel or metal object to be
heated acts as a load to absorb the energy generated by the inductor. Without the load, the
inductor will overheat. Overheating the inductor can cause damage and/or personal injury. The
Bolt Pro inductor shall not be in contact with hot parts for tool long time (temperature max 150 °C).
