Application

With the Mini-Ductor Venom HP, you can safely heat metal parts near plastic shields or other components without removing or protecting them, saving you time and hassle from unnecessary R&I procedures. This is great for removing seized components within seconds, such as O2 sensors, exhaust manifold bolts, U-bolts, and seatbelt bolts.

Origin

Tom Gough, who is the owner of Induction Innovations, was a body shop technician for 28 years before he started the company. We originally started with larger collision units, but in 2004, we made a unit that was smaller and more affordable for technicians. This product was designed to help cut down on repair times, allowing techs to achieve a faster turnaround on their repairs.

Features and benefits

  • This tool provides safe, reliable heat exactly where you need it without the collateral damage of a torch expanding metal within seconds.
  • The Venom HP is the highest powered Mini-Ductor at 1800 W. 
  • The patented coil twist lock allows a technician to change coils quickly.
  • The tool is made in the USA.
  • The Venom HP can reduce labor by as much as 75 percent.
  • This product uses powerful eddy currents to heat and expand metal for removal from a vehicle.
  • The Venom HP allows technicians to save time on adhesive-bonded, rusted, or stuck fasteners.
  • The Venom HP allows technicians to achieve faster ticket times rather than risk burning down the shop or breaking a bolt.
