Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods 3/8 in x 18 in - 10 lb Box

Broco Slice Rods: The Ultimate Demolition & Repair Tool

When standard oxy-acetylene torches or plasma cutters fail, professional welders and heavy equipment mechanics turn to Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods. This 10lb box of 3/8" x 18" rods is the heavy-hitter you need for your toughest extraction and demolition projects. The Slice system is legendary in the industry for its ability to cut through "un-cuttable" materials. From removing seized track pins on bulldozers to cutting through bridge pilings or slag-encrusted scrap, these rods burn hotter and faster than conventional thermal tools.

The magic lies in the exothermic chemical reaction. Once ignited, the rod consumes itself while generating intense heat, requiring only a supply of oxygen to sustain the cut. This means you don't need a heavy welding machine or high-voltage power source to keep cutting—just a 12V battery for ignition and an oxygen bottle. This portability makes the Broco Slice system ideal for field repairs on logging trucks, mining equipment, and agricultural machinery where power is scarce.

Broco has designed these rods with the operator in mind. The 18-inch length offers a safe distance from the heat and spatter while providing enough consumable material to bore deep holes or make long cuts. The rods are physically bendable, allowing you to curve them around corners to sever bolts or brackets that are otherwise inaccessible. The "uncoated" nature of the rod allows for direct contact with the workpiece without the need to maintain a specific arc gap, simplifying the cutting process for operators in challenging positions. Stock up with this 10lb box to ensure you aren't caught short in the middle of a critical teardown.
