YOUR first instinct to tackle a stubborn, rusted bolt might be to grab a blow torch or perhaps even the oxy-acetylene. A blast of heat might help loosen it but you’re running the risk of damaging other surrounding parts. This is where SIP Industrial Products’ new heat induction tool would come in handy – a press of the trigger delivers 800ºC of localised heat in a matter of seconds. Reviewing the new tool for GW, Jack Alford of Court Autos Telford explains why every workshop should have one. He said: “It’s a really useful bit of kit, simple to use and it’s flexible so you can heat up exactly what you need to rather than everything around it too. “With tracking for example, you have to watch you don’t catch a CV boot or anti roll bar or you’ll have an MOT failure.” The 1.5KVA SIP heat induction tool is powered from a 230v socket (13 amp supply)
