Sealey Induction Heater, 1000W 230V (VS240) This compact 1000W induction heater provides targeted, flameless heat for automotive repair tasks that typically require torches or heat guns. Operating on standard 230V power, the 1.7kg unit generates intense heat directly within ferrous metals, allowing seized fasteners to be loosened without damaging surrounding components. The kit includes four specialised attachments: two direct coils (Ø20mm and Ø32mm), a pad coil (Ø55mm), and an 830mm flexible coil for versatile application. Particularly effective for releasing corroded bolts, removing adhesives, and freeing stuck components, this portable system delivers precise heat exactly where needed while eliminating the fire risks associated with open flame methods. Precision Metal Heating Tool Targeted Heating Technology Induction technology creates heat directly within ferrous metals rather than applying external flame, allowing precise heat application exactly where needed without thermal damage to surrounding plastic components, wiring, or other heat-sensitive materials. Versatile Coil Selection Four interchangeable coils accommodate different component sizes and configurations, with Ø20mm and Ø32mm direct coils for standard fasteners, a Ø55mm pad coil for flat surface work, and an 830mm flexible coil that wraps around irregular shapes or reaches difficult areas. Automotive-Specific Design Purpose-built for vehicle repair challenges, the system excels at loosening seized exhaust components, suspension fasteners, and other corroded parts without the collateral heat transfer that often damages bushings, seals, or nearby electronics when using traditional heating methods. Trim Removal Capability The included induction pad heats metal beneath adhesives and trim to soften bonding agents, allowing clean removal of badges, mouldings, and stickers without scraping that might damage painted surfaces, preserving both the removed components and underlying panels. Enhanced Portability The lightweight 1.7kg design makes this unit significantly more manageable than larger induction systems, allowing easy handling around vehicles and into tight engine compartments while still delivering sufficient power for most automotive fastener and trim removal tasks. Organised Storage A purpose-built case houses the main unit and all attachments, protecting the components between uses and ensuring all parts remain together, reducing time spent searching for accessories and keeping the heating coils safe from damage that could affect performance. Practical Applications Corroded Fastener Removal: Heats rusted or seized nuts, bolts, and fittings to expand the metal and break corrosion bonds without overheating surrounding components, preserving threads and reducing the risk of fastener breakage during removal that would require time-consuming extraction procedures. Adhesive Softening: Gently heats metal beneath adhesive-mounted trim pieces, emblems, and decals to release the bonding agent without damaging painted surfaces or the removed components, enabling reuse of parts and eliminating residue that would require chemical removal. Suspension Work: Provides targeted heat to free press-fit components, ball joints, tie rods, and other suspension parts without transferring excessive heat to rubber bushings or boots, preserving these components during repair procedures and reducing overall parts replacement costs.
