Inductor^® Lite: Fast-Off Pad Attachment

Quickly and easily remove all adhesives and strips as well as side moldings in a few minutes without any collateral damage

Inductor Lite Fast-Off Pad Attachment

The flexible Fast-Off pad for the Inductor Lite is used for heating metal sheet for a lot of applications. When you first use the pad to heat painted metal, please start with the power level on Low. Keep moving the pad over the area to be heated either in a circular or back and forward motion and check the temperature under the pad every few seconds until you are familiar with how fast various surfaces get hot with your inductor. Remember that you can burn the paint if you are not careful. As with any new tool, patience and practice will let you increase the power level and speed with which the inductor helps you to do your job.

Removing Decals, Vinyl Graphics & Striping

Set to Low power, slowly move the pad over the part that you want to remove in a small circular or back and forward motion. After a couple of seconds, try to lift an edge of the part. If it begins to lift up easily, then enough heat has been applied, if not, then apply heat for a couple of more seconds and try again. Older decals, graphics and striping tend to take more heating time. If you overheat vinyl, it often gets “mushy” and “bubbly.” If this happens, then let things cool down and then try to lift and peel the part off. Be careful not to burn the paint. If sufficiently heated, the stripes should come off easily and all the glue should be removed with the stripe.

Removing Body Side Molding

Body side moldings are removed in much the same way as decals and graphics. However, with thick moldings, a greater heating power or time is required since the metal underneath the molding is further away from the pad. Keep the pad parallel to the work surface for better heat distribution. Also, instead of a circular motion, use a back and forward motion along the length of the molding. Start at one end of the molding and work the pad slowly back and forward a few inches until you can easily pry the end of the molding loose. Then slowly move the pad down the length of the molding while peeling the molding off. Try to practice on scrap moldings to develop your technique as with any new hand tool. The tape and adhesive should come off with the moldings. If glue or tape is left on the panel, then slow down your motion or increase the amount of heat.

Warming Cold Body Panels

During the winter or in cold climates, decals, graphics or striping require to be warmed in the shop for the adhesive to stick. With the pad on the Inductor Lite, you can quickly heat just the body section that you are working on to apply these items. This will save you time instead of waiting for the panel to warm up when using conventional methods.

In seconds, you will be able to release seized hardware from corrosion or threadlock compounds and other adhesives without the collateral damage and safety risks of an open flame.

Testimonial

Great experience. I previously had a Mini-Ductor for a good few years, and found your website to purchase the higher powered Venom-HP model. Mark Friedenauer contacted me via email on a Sunday evening, and I called him a few days later to discuss the products I was interested in. He answered all my questions very professionally and sold me the unit right then. Perfect gentleman! Thanks Mark!

After the second time I used the Mini-Ductor II, it paid for itself. Straightening a bent sway bar, on the vehicle, without removing it took 10 minutes. Would have been a one hour repair otherwise. The second time rivets in a ball joint on a 15 year old truck would not come out. Heated them to “cherry red” in less than a minute, and were removed effortlessly. Have been in the auto repair business for 33 years and I wish I would know about it sooner.

I have been working as an auto mechanic for 42 years. I received my Mini-Ductor 2 today. Absolutely amazing tool. Wish I would have had one years ago. I live in an area that has a lot of rust from road salt. I am constantly dealing with seized bolts. This tool will most definitely make my life easier. Thank you, thank you…

I’m using my Mini-Ductor today! It’s so fun and easy, I was upset I didn’t need to use it on all the bolts!

I just wanted to drop a note to you folks what a GREAT tool the Mini-Ductor II is. We started us the kit with the JEEP trailer hitch recall. The tech were scratching their heads until they put it to work. I would have to say that this is the most used special tool in our shop. We use it bumper to bumper, from steering components, catalytic converters, suspension arms anywhere there are two pieces of metal bolted together. The service has been super ! Great tool, great people to work with, equals happy technicians! Thank you for putting together a great tool package!

Here’s some feedback on the mini-ductor.

I’ve been using the mini-ductor tool for a couple years. I’m a mechanic in the Northwestern part of the US and the vehicles have plenty of rust from the roads treatments in the winter to eliminate ice. It’s very handy to have. I use it pretty regularly on alignments to break loose frozen tie rods. I also use it to break free stuck head bolts. This is a real time saver. It’s literately saved me hundreds of hours. As a flat rate technician saving time is the name of the game. This tool definitely is a time saver. I would have no problem buying another one.

Thank you,
