Lug Nut Removal How To

Removing lug nuts that are rusted or corroded is often a lengthy, difficult and frustrating task for motor mechanics, especially when using an acetylene torch.

Lug nuts rust easily and problem lug nuts often require a combination of traditional methods – and hours of your time – to remove without collateral damage to surrounding areas. The Mini-Ductor® Venom® and the Mini-Ductor® Venom® HP release corroded or thread lock compound lug nuts in a matter of seconds, without the risk of damage created by an open flame. It’s also up to 90% faster compared to other conventional methods.

The Mini-Ductor Venom provides a precise, safe and reliable alternative to naked flame heating and a great return on investment. The tool uses flameless heat to heat ferrous metal, and some non-ferrous metal parts, in seconds, enabling the removal of all types of adhesives bonded to metal, including thread lock compounds and seized hardware. It’s faster, safer and more cost effective than traditional flame heating.

Precision and Efficiency: Put Induction Heating Where You Want It

When a torch flame hits metal, most of its heat is deflected away from the load, or object being heated, wasting energy and transferring heat to unwanted areas. With the Mini-Ductor Venom nearly all the energy pulled is applied to the load, making the tool faster and more energy efficient than its classic competition, the torch.

In addition to the safety benefits, induction heating tools can cut costs and increase a garage’s productivity by over 50%, reducing downtime, enabling part re-use and possibly reducing insurance premiums by 10-20% when used to replace oxy-acetylene systems. Follow the steps below and see how easy it is.

4 Steps to Lug Nut Removal with the Mini-Ductor Venom

1. Select the proper size coil. For best results, leave a small gap between the coil and lug nut.
