  • This is the nastiest tool ever... but it can get a whole lot nastier than that moment of sparks you see there. Imagine a blast furnace melting down and all the molten iron making a 3 foot layer of metal the size of a football field. Then go use that lance for back to back 12 hour shifts for days on end to cut that all into chunks small enough to crane or drag out. NON STOP! At that point you have the "NASTIEST TOOL EVER".

  • @jaysoltesz is it a different tool? can we have vids of this?

  • thats an awesome video and tool, could use them on my loader pins, sure beats carbon arc gouging anyday

  • yeah, it can reach into a small diameter pin like carbon rod cant

  • omg thats the same crane in holland that collapsed on google earth in 06 sum1 on utube showed that....if thats the 1?

  • do you have a link to this video?

  • We use something of the sort at work to scarf old weld, burn through the center of stuck pins, cut stainless pins...its called an x-torch. basically magnesium rods in the center of a copper tube.

  • "Now son, before we start, are ye wearin' anything flammable?"

  • Works great on bank vaults, or so I hear!

  • the wind hates you!

  • brave men are awesome!!!!

  • jeebus that's intense.

  • Big deal... I get the same effect from eating Taco Bell.

  • used on of these today. first time. good fun. joys of the job

  • All a thermic lance is, is a copper tube packed with copper rods. You heat the end up with a gas welding torch until it starts the go white hot, and then neat oxygen is blown through the tube. The copper than starts to burn into cupric oxide, and creates around 3200 C temperature. Thermic lances create huge amounts of smoke, and cant really be used indoors. However, there has been an instance of one being used to burn a hole in the two foot thick concrete roof of a bank in order to rob it.

  • were can i get a thermal lance
