Like the title says.
Anyone have one?
Are they as good as the hype?
I find myself wrenching on rusty trucks and farm equipment. I've been thinking about buying an O/A torch but these seem like they would do the job with less collateral damage.

Also interested to see real-world experience with these, I'm always dealing with rusty bolts and these seem like a good option. Also interested in seeing what you get with the $500 models compared to those in the $200 range.
These things were $2k on the tool truck just a few years ago. Now they're $300 on Amazon.
A decent torch set is around 400 plus the bottle lease.
I know I can do more things with a torch but I braze and gas weld so little that the difference in money is probably better put towards an inverter tig unit in the future.
I bought one recently from boltbusterinc. I had gone 2 rounds with kroil and a torch with no luck on some exhaust nuts when car work was interrupted by sema. Saw them at the show and decided to take a chance. Wow just wow. 15-20 seconds on each nut, spun right off. Yep, I'm a believer.
I have a boltbuster. It is so much easier and safer than oxy/acetylene. No concerns about collateral damage.
I also use it to heat and bend clutch and brake pedals in finished cars.
