Without the danger of an open flame, you will be able to heat metallic objects near plastic splash shields or other plastic components without the need to remove or shield them. This saves you time and inconvenience of unnecessary R&I procedures.

I’ve been using the mini-ductor tool for a couple years. I’m a mechanic in the Northwestern part of the US and the vehicles have plenty of rust from the roads treatments in the winter to eliminate ice. It’s very handy to have. I use it pretty regularly on alignments to break loose frozen tie rods. I also use it to break free stuck head bolts. This is a real time saver. It’s literately saved me hundreds of hours. As a flat rate technician saving time is the name of the game. This tool definitely is a time saver. I would have no problem buying another one.

Experience fast, safe and damage-free removal of stubborn nuts and bolts, exterior trim, vinyl graphics, bonding, glass, and much more.

Great experience. I previously had a Mini-Ductor for a good few years, and found your website to purchase the higher powered Venom-HP model. Mark Friedenauer contacted me via email on a Sunday evening, and I called him a few days later to discuss the products I was interested in. He answered all my questions very professionally and sold me the unit right then. Perfect gentleman! Thanks Mark!

The Mini-Ductor is the professional’s choice handheld, flameless torch and leverages the power of Invisible Heat® to heat ferrous metals in seconds. Using high frequency magnetic fields, the Mini-Ductor releases corroded or frozen hardware and other metallic components from corrosion and thread lock compounds – all without the collateral damage normally associated with torches.

After the second time I used the Mini-Ductor II, it paid for itself. Straightening a bent sway bar, on the vehicle, without removing it took 10 minutes. Would have been a one hour repair otherwise. The second time rivets in a ball joint on a 15 year old truck would not come out. Heated them to “cherry red” in less than a minute, and were removed effortlessly. Have been in the auto repair business for 33 years and I wish I would know about it sooner.

I have been working as an auto mechanic for 42 years. I received my Mini-Ductor 2 today. Absolutely amazing tool. Wish I would have had one years ago. I live in an area that has a lot of rust from road salt. I am constantly dealing with seized bolts. This tool will most definitely make my life easier. Thank you, thank you…

I just wanted to drop a note to you folks what a GREAT tool the Mini-Ductor II is. We started us the kit with the JEEP trailer hitch recall. The tech were scratching their heads until they put it to work. I would have to say that this is the most used special tool in our shop. We use it bumper to bumper, from steering components, catalytic converters, suspension arms anywhere there are two pieces of metal bolted together. The service has been super ! Great tool, great people to work with, equals happy technicians! Thank you for putting together a great tool package!

Abstract: Thermal deformation of journal bearings operating under high-temperature conditions can have a significant effect on changes in bearing performance. However, no attempt has been made to quantify this amount of thermal deformation and link it to the performance change of the bearing. The aim of this study is to investigate the quantitative performance change due to thermal deformation of the tilting pad journal bearing (TPJB) pad in terms of the change in preload amount. The variable viscosity Reynolds equation and the energy equation were coupled using the relationship between viscosity and temperature, and the solution was obtained using the finite element method. Heat transfer between the spinning journal, oil film and pads is considered, and a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was used to calculate the thermal deformation of the bearing structure. The steady state of the rotor-bearing system was predicted using a bearing performance prediction algorithm with three closed loops. State variables for this steady-state prediction include the amount of thermal deformation of the structure. In order to investigate the amount of thermal deformation of the bearing pad in terms of bearing performance, the concepts of thermal offset preload and thermal performance preload were suggested and the change in thermal preload under various conditions was investigated. Keywords: tilting pad journal bearings; thermal preload; thermal deformation; dynamic performance; static performance
