A torch is so 20th century, get an induction heater if you want to work on rusted cars.

Just the other day, I read on one of these forums where someone was using a torch while debugging a headlight wiring problem on his car. A little shocking until I saw that he was from the UK, where "torch" = "flashlight." :rofl:
