43049009 - Arcair Slice Uncoated Exothermic Cutting Rods 3/8x36 (25-Pack)

Cut Anything, Anywhere, Anytime

When you are out in the field and facing a job that a grinder or plasma cutter can't touch, you grab the Arcair Slice. The 43049009 Uncoated Slice Rods are the heavy artillery of the cutting world. These aren't your standard welding rods; they are hollow steel tubes packed with alloy wires that, when fed with oxygen and lit up, turn into a handheld inferno. We are talking about enough heat to cut through mud-caked dozer blades, stainless steel piping, and even solid concrete walls. If it can melt or burn, these rods will cut it.

The beauty of the Slice system is its independence. You don't need to drag a heavy welding generator to the top of a bridge or deep into a mine shaft. Once you spark this 3/8" x 36" rod—using a simple 12V battery or a striker plate—it burns on its own power as long as you feed it oxygen. The "Uncoated" plain design gives you raw performance without the extra flux, making them a solid, economical choice for dry cutting applications where you just need to blow through material fast. The extra length of the 36-inch rod means you spend more time cutting and less time changing rods, plus it keeps your hands further away from the heat and spatter.

These rods are legendary among heavy equipment mechanics and ironworkers for a reason. Pin removal? Easy. Piercing a hole through a 2-inch plate? Done in seconds. Cutting a tangled mess of rebar and concrete? No problem. This pack of 25 rods ensures you have enough firepower to get through the toughest demolition or repair jobs. Just load one into your Slice torch, check your oxygen pressure, light it up, and watch the metal disappear.
