[QUOTE="torch, post: 1467845, member: 1295"] Inductive heater ("Bolt Buster", etc.). A coil of wire surrounds the frozen fastener and heats the fastener alone to near-red hot temps without exposing nearby objects to a flame. Apply your favourite magic elixir, heat inductively, apply more elixir. The heat will help wick the oil into the joint and the hot/cold cycle will help shock the fastener. I've had this one for 3 or 4 years now, with no complaints: [URL]https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07XNZV1RP[/URL] (NOTE: it will shut itself down for a while if you overdo it. I think the internals can overheat despite the cooling fan. More of an issue doing a series of large diameter bolts though. EG swapping out a car suspension, etc.) [/QUOTE]
