Hand held induction heater ?

The price of gas certainly makes them more appealing

My previous employer trialled induction heaters with a view of getting rid of gas due to the insurance/liability cost, but although the induction heaters can be used for a lot of things, there are still those jobs which need gas.

@steve t ,weve yet to do the difficult 90degree bend on the inner handrail then fit the spindles,I’ll have to do those on site as they need to line up with those on the first floor.
The short steps show the forged ends riveted in,work in progress.

So true, cant imagine life without it. Still fancy an induction heater for things like manifold studs, less chance of frying other components in tight spaces.

For the majority of vehicle mechanical repairs, the induction heater could do most of it.
The problem was things like straightening out bumper bars, where you need to heat a big area, it just doesn't work.

A few Google results videos show induction heating being used to braze copper pipe together

I wonder how easy/successful that is in the real world Vs manufacturing in a factory (which most videos showed)

True but there’s also lots of jobs that can’t justify long term bottle rental for just incase

Any idea on pricing of the 3kw?

Website doesn't give a lot away

The 3.5kW single phase is about £2700 I think but depends on what you have with it in terms of tips etc
It’s best to call him really

There’s a 3.7kW 16A single phase with a greater duty cycle (so more of a workshop industrial machine) on wheels for about £3700
