Has anyone tried this tool on stuck fasteners?

Never seen that tool that low in price...with that said, it does work pretty awesome as the heat stays concentrated, unlike when using a hot wrench (torch).

Heat fastener, allow to cool, try to remove...if it doesn't loosen first time, lather, rinse, repeat.

I tried one, works good if you have to use it. If you are working in an open area, torch is the way to go. I know some of the mines love it because every time they light a torch they have to fill out paperwork. This has no open flame so no extra safety BS.

I've never seen a tool like that, that's why I posted it, to spread the word.
