This is a excerpt from a post I made on a non-Astro site of a tool I thought I wanted to share with the community here for removal of rusted nuts.Given the age on many of our Astro vans I thought it might be a good thing to have......
I saw a tool that I was interested in on Motor week.So I asked MDTahoe to ask Pat about it.It is a flameless induction heater that heats frozen nuts red hot to easily remove them.You know the rusted ones that makes a Sat job turn into a Monday night still working on it thing.Well at first MD told me about a pro-series that was way out of reach in pricing.Today much to his credit he gave me a ref link that I wanted to pass onto all of you.Now what this tool is a coil that you place over up to a 1 1/2 nut to heat it up without any flame.Sounds kind of cool and one that no toolbox should be without.Runs on a regular 110 current.I don't have pricing on it yet,but will post that once I call the local dealer.
Now before I post this link,I want to be very clear.This is not a spam posting in anyway.I make nothing from it.Period.I am just posting what I think is a very useful tool that the community here might want.So take a look.......
