PC-ROD.127L25UN - Broco 1/2" x 48" Prime Cut Exothermic Lancing Rods (25-Pack)

Broco Prime Cut Lancing Rods – 1/2" x 48"

Tackle the toughest cutting jobs with confidence using Broco's 1/2" x 48" Exothermic Lancing Rods. Known in the industry as the "ultimate cutting tool," these rods are designed to slice through barriers that stop other tools in their tracks. Whether you are facing rusted bolts, hardened steel pins, or layers of concrete and steel, Broco rods deliver the thermal energy required to melt and blow away the material instantly. This pack of 25 rods is an essential inventory item for mobile welders, heavy equipment mechanics, and rescue personnel.

How It Works: Unlike traditional welding electrodes or oxy-fuel cutting tips, Broco rods function as a fuel source themselves. Once ignited at the tip—usually via a striker or battery spark—and fed with oxygen, the rod burns fiercely at approximately 10,000°F. This temperature is hot enough to liquefy almost any known material. The 1/2-inch diameter offers a robust burn profile, suitable for larger tasks where a 3/8-inch rod might be consumed too quickly. The extended 48-inch length allows for deep penetration into workpieces, such as lancing through thick pins or creating weep holes in retaining walls.

Versatility in the Field: One of the biggest advantages of the Broco system is its independence from high-current electrical power sources. You don't need a heavy welding generator; you simply need an oxygen cylinder, a regulator, a compatible holder, and these rods. This makes the system incredibly portable for field repairs on excavators, bulldozers, and crushers. The rods can even be used to clean out old hardfacing or remove cracks before welding repairs.

Performance You Can Trust: Broco is the industry leader in exothermic cutting for a reason. Their rods are manufactured to strict standards to ensure safety and reliability. The burn is consistent, and the slag produced is fluid, helping to wash the cut clean. When time is money and equipment is down, having a box of Broco 1/2" x 48" lancing rods in your truck ensures you have the power to cut through the problem and get back to work.
