In Focus: Induction Innovations Mini-Ductor Venom

Feb. 3, 2017

The Mini-Ductor Venom generates heat without open flame.

The Induction Innovations Mini-Ductor Venom generates "invisible heat" to release ferrous and some non-ferrous metals from corrosion and thread lock compounds without the dangers of open flame. This tool will turn a 3/4” nut red-hot in 15 seconds. It can be used to easily release seized nuts/bolts from corrosion or thread lock compounds; remove/release steering/suspension components, fuel tank straps, inline connectors, Zerk fittings, manifold bolts, truck bed bolts, seat belt bolts, U-bolts, tie rod sleeves/ends, soft hail dents, metal fabrication, soldering and heat treating. It also can be used to remove heavy undercoatings applied over hardware.

Application

The Mini-Ductor Venom generates heat without the dangers of open flame. It can be used for a variety of applications, including steering/suspension components, bearings, fuel tank straps, soft hail dents and more.

Selling points

Coils lock down with one simple turn (no more thumb screws), and Venom works with all Mini-Ductor coils.
Venom’s lightweight, ergonomic design allows for induction heat to access hard-to-reach places more easily.
A red LED will light under fault conditions and a green LED lights while the trigger is active and the tool is heating properly.
As long as the tool is powered and the internal power supply is operating, the LED will remain lit when the switch is on.
Venom has a two-year parts and labor warranty.
