If you do some googling for 'induction tool' you can find various options for much cheaper.

I use one from time to time at work for removing exhaust nuts without snapping studs. It truly is a wonder, especially in spaces where you don't want to use an oxy acetylene or map gas torch. It will get the nut/ stud red hot within a minute, then I will quench it with some sort of penetrant, repeat 2-3 times and it spins free without issue.
