Product Information
Full details
This Laser Tools Heat Inductor Coil (18mm x 200mm) is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need to safely and efficiently remove seized nuts and bolts without damaging surrounding components. Its primary benefit is controlled induction heating, minimizing collateral damage compared to open flame methods. A key consideration is its requirement for compatible Laser heat inductors (Part Nos. 8680 & 8681). This coil acts as an accessory to these inductors, focusing magnetic fields to generate heat rapidly and precisely.

FAQs
What is the primary function of this heat inductor coil?
This coil is used with a compatible heat inductor unit to generate targeted heat on metal components, primarily for loosening seized nuts and bolts without damaging surrounding materials.
What heat inductor part numbers is this coil compatible with?
It is designed for use with Laser heat inductors, specifically Part Nos. 8680 & 8681, or similar compatible models.
Can I use this coil with any heat source?
No, this coil is specifically designed to work with electromagnetic heat inductor units. It will not function with open flame or other heating methods.
How do I know if I need a different size coil?
The 18mm coil is best for smaller fasteners. If the fastener is significantly larger, or if you need to heat a broader area, you may need a different size coil such as the 22mm, 28mm, or flat 65mm options.
Is this coil a consumable part?
Yes, like many components exposed to high heat and stress, the heat inductor coil is considered a consumable and may need to be replaced over time with regular use.
What is the length of this coil?
The length of this specific coil is 200mm.
Can this coil be used on painted surfaces?
While designed to minimize collateral damage, extreme caution should be exercised around painted surfaces. The intense heat can damage paint if applied for too long or too closely. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if possible.
Troubleshooting
No heat being generated
Ensure the coil is securely attached to a compatible heat inductor. Check that the heat inductor unit is properly powered and functioning. Verify that the target fastener is made of a material susceptible to induction heating.
Coil seems damaged or worn
Discontinue use immediately. Replace the coil with a new one. Refer to the heat inductor's manual for replacement instructions and ensure compatibility.
Component still won't loosen
Ensure the correct coil size and type are being used for the fastener. Increase the heating duration slightly, if safe to do so, and try again. The fastener may be excessively seized and require additional mechanical force or penetrating oil after heating.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently removes seized components without open flames.
- Minimizes collateral damage to surrounding materials like wiring, paint, or rubber.
- Provides controlled and rapid heating for quick disassembly.
- Offers a safer alternative to traditional heating methods.
- Designed for use with specific Laser heat inductor models for optimal performance.
Cons
- Requires a compatible Laser heat inductor unit to function.
- Coil is a consumable part and will eventually need replacement.
- Not suitable for all types of metal or applications where magnetism is a concern.
- Limited to specific sizes; other applications may require different coil dimensions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your Laser heat inductor unit (Part No. 8680 or 8681, or similar) is powered off and disconnected.
- Carefully attach the 18mm Heat Inductor Coil to the induction head of your heat inductor unit, ensuring a secure fit according to the inductor's manual.
- Position the coil around the seized nut or bolt, ensuring good contact and proximity without touching.
Compatibility:
- This coil is designed for use with Laser heat inductors, specifically mentioning Part Nos. 8680 and 8681, or similar compatible models.
- It is available in various sizes; ensure you select the correct diameter and length for your specific application. Other available sizes include 65 x 200mm (flat), 22 x 200mm (horizontal), 1000mm (flexible), 22 x 200mm (standard), and 28 x 200mm.
Care:
- After use, allow the coil to cool completely before handling or storing.
- Wipe the coil with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect the coil regularly for any signs of damage, fraying, or excessive wear. Damaged coils should be replaced immediately.
- Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
