In an example of a truck bed bolt, which has thread lock compount, we heat up the bolt as much as we can to allow the heat to travel down the bolt, expand and break the bond. Once cooled, the bolt should crank right off. Rick,

If the nut expands, it will make it easier to loosen because of expansion. But sometimes heating a bolt will work also, although it seems to defy logic. The website with the most information about the Mini-Ductor is http://www.denlorstools.com/ there is also a link to the pdf brochure. I understand what Rick is trying to say.

But lostening bolts it will not do, nuts yes. Heat makes things expand, so it really only seems to be useful for bolts... quite a limited number of uses.... but definitely cool... or hot... yeah "hot" Neat, I am sure it fits a need.

Given the localized nature of the heating, it's safe(r) than an open flame near fuel lines. That said, common sense still applies. There's really no liability insurance that can cover Darwin Award candidates.

You sure about that? I hope your liability insurance is paid up with that “use near fuel lines” suggestion. You sure about that?
