The Q.C. HOT-ROD Can Help
The Q.C. Hot-Rod is the most innovative exothermic cutting tool available. The HOT-ROD can melt or pierce virtually any material. The specially designed internal configuration makes the HOT-ROD the most productive, cost-efficient, cutting rod available. The internal case gives the operator a smooth even burn and an unrestricted flow to blow material away from the cut. The HOT-ROD can melt all steels from mild carbon to stainless steel. The HOT-ROD can melt any exotic metal such as aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, etc. The HOT-ROD will even melt concrete. The advantage of using the HOT-ROD exothermic lance over an oxy-acetylene torch is that there is no need for pre-heating or cleaning the material to cut it. Make easy work of renovation or demolition. Repair equipment and bridges. The Q.C. HOT-ROD can solve many of your cutting problems.
Hot-Rod SIZES
