OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Problem Solver for Stuck Pins and Heavy Metal

When you are out in the field and faced with a seized pin, a cracked bucket, or a demolition job that laughs at standard torches, you reach for Broco Slice Rods. This box of 25 exothermic cutting rods (3/8" x 18") is your best friend for heavy equipment repair and salvage. These aren't just cutting rods; they are the "get out of jail free" card for welders and mechanics who need to cut through rust, mud, concrete, and multiple layers of dissimilar metals without skipping a beat.

The magic of the Broco Slice system lies in its versatility. Once ignited, these rods burn hot enough to liquefy almost anything in their path. Need to cut a stainless steel shaft inside a cast iron housing? Done. Need to blow a hole through a concrete wall reinforced with rebar? Easy. The 18-inch length gives you plenty of burn time to get the job done, while the 3/8-inch thickness carries enough oxygen to blast out molten material quickly, ensuring a clean cut even in deep holes.

Real-world usability is where these rods shine. We all know that equipment never breaks in a convenient spot. That's why Broco designed these rods to be bendable. You can physically bend the rod with your hands to curve around a frame rail or reach into a tight engine compartment, and the oxygen will keep flowing perfectly. Plus, the recessed end design protects your torch collet from heat damage, meaning less downtime swapping out torch parts and more time making chips fly. Whether you are working on a scrap yard, a mine site, or a farm, keeping a box of these Bronco/Broco style rods on your truck ensures you are ready for the toughest cuts.

No, the Slice system uses a 12V battery (or striker) for ignition and a supply of oxygen to sustain the burn. No continuous electrical current is required.

Yes, Broco Slice rods are designed to be bent up to 90 degrees without splitting or restricting the oxygen flow, allowing access to tight spaces.

The recessed end prevents the rod from burning back into the torch collet and washer, protecting the torch from heat damage.
