Halfords used to stock it, dunno if they still do.

@PeteMoore was raving about this gear, very dear but will give it a go. Locally available too.

Me too, so I ordered some to try. Paid for the standard 5 day delivery but it came next day, DPD'd from Carryduff.
Will be trying it out on some crusty brake unions this weekend.

Heat is great, but can't be used in all circumstances. If I know a bolt needs to come off ahead of time and I suspect it may be tricky I'll soak it a day before even if I plan on using heat.

Induction heating in that case! Useful to have both to hand

That's what they used when they replaced the thirty year old bushes at the back of the Volvo. The bolts were all stuck, obviously, and one had been snapped by someone else at some point before. He got them out with some sort of home made induction heater.

No idea what the cheap ones are like but even the cheapest Chinese ones are a few hundred quid a pop. Wouldn’t mind trying one some day to see.

No idea what he made his from, lol, best not to ask But it worked when nothing else did.
