Yes, it was a little pricey, but there are smaller/cheaper units (but I
can't say how well they work, I'm sure they would be fine.)
For last night, to get that nut off and prevent me from having to remove a
caliper, drill out the nut, chase a thread, replace the nut and put it all
back on, not to mention the aggravation that goes with it, it paid for
itself! I was even able to reuse the bleed nut (not my car, and the
person needed it to get to work today, so getting a replacement last night
wasn't an option.)
I'm now not worried about rusty bolt as much. It's a go to tool for sure!

Ouch. $299 for the bolt heater. I was ready to buy one until I saw the
price. For now I've added it to my would-be-nice-to-have list. Out of
curiosity, I wonder how often you have to replace the heating coil?

Morning all!
I'm not a snap-on guy, I realize the quality is there, but I normally
don't need it for the premium it costs.
Last night, I was working on brake lines and some of the nuts were rusted
on tight. My normal flare wrenches were actually opening up as I put
force on them.
So I'm ready to put serious money on a good set (both metric and SAE), but
not knowing the top end brands well, which should I look for?
Is Snap-on the way to go? Is Mac or another brand just as good? What
about the gear wrench brand and other ones on Amazon? (like these OEM
brand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07876M87B/ref=psdc_553422_t2_B000V5CZXY
NOTE, I do NOT want flex head.)
Also, where is a good place to get the wrenches? If I go Snap-on, do I
have to find a truck?
BTW, in the end I got to use my induction bolt heater for a stuck on
bleeder valve. I couldn't believe how well it worked! About 4 mins from
opening the case to putting it back down. A few minutes to let the nut
cool, and it just came right off!

No flames, no damage to any of the rubber lines near the nut. Just 'as
seen on YouTube' action!
