| 1. | What is it and how does it work? Today's
vehicles are assembled with adhesives. As you know, not only body side
moldings and decals, but even windows and some body panels are held in
place with adhesives. Many, if not most, body shop operations require
R&I of these parts. The INDUCTOR® family of Flameless TM heat tools
empowers the technician to do FAST R&I of any part that is bonded to
a metal structure, and in many cases lets you save the part. The
INDUCTOR® is a high frequency electromagnet that heats only metal
objects (or objects containing metal) when they come into close
proximity of Inductor's magnetic field located at the ends of the
applicators (Fast Off® pad, Concentrator® and Glass Blaster®). The
magnetic field goes right through non-metals like glass and trim and
HEATS THE METAL UNDERNEATH!

| 2. | What can I use it for? Basically
anything that is adhered to metal with adhesives can be easily removed
by heating the metal with the magnetic field from INDUCTOR®, which in
turn softens the adhesive and releases its bond. Unlike using
oxy/acetylene torches the Inductor also lets you heat metal in tight
areas without the extreme need to remove plastic shields that may be in
close proximity of the area being heated. Instantly pre-heat cold metal
to install adhesive stripes, moldings, etc... no need to wait! The uses
are endless!

| 3. | Can you explain the benifits of your In-Line connector and Pneumatic Foot Switch. CONNECTOR:
Normally most maufactures use a panel mount connector for their
accessories. The problem with a panel mount connector is tug damage to
the connector from the user, especially when it is tugged from the side.
This puts a lot of stress on the connectors and causes damage. By
placing the connector In-Line not only do you avoid the damage created
by a side ways tug but it also gives the user better control for ease of
making the connection. FOOT SWITCH: In the automotive enviroment,
especially in Body Shops it's not unusuall to find dirt or moisture on
the floor which could damage or mal-function an electrical switch.
Induction Innovations uses a Pneumatic Foot Pedal to activate a switch
inside the power supply where it is protected from the elements,
ensuring more reliable trouble free use.

| 4. | Can the Inductor harm a car's computer? Your
car's computer is encased in a metal box, this protects the electronics
from the magnetic field. Once the magnetic field hits the outer surface
of the metal it stops there, the field does not go through the metal.
The effective magnetic field of any of the attachments at best is
approximately 2.5". Between these two factors computers are pretty well
protected.

| 5. | What is the benefit with the Inductor Glass Blaster over traditional glass removal technique's? Traditional
glass removal technique's like glass knives, vibrating knives, or piano
wire pose problems of collateral damage. One slip with a vibrating
knife and you can scratch the paint, cut the encapsulation, scratch the
black masking, or even worse break the window. The inductor releases the
adhesive bond of the urethane at the pinch weld, eliminating the
possibility of collateral damage. Glass knifes also have consumable
blades that need to be replaced often. The Inductor Glass Blaster has no
consumable parts. Traditional techniques require the technician to
remove the interior trim panel. The Inductor removes the window from the
exterior of the car. Many of today's modern vehicle windows are made
with deep pockets and curves that knives can not reach, lips that don't
allow blades to be inserted, or areas near impossible to get near
without collateral damage. The Inductor allows the user to hurdle over
all these complications with ease.

| 6. | Can the Inductor Break Glass? The Inductor only heats metal. Therefore, when used according to the instruction manual it can not break glass.
|
| 7. | Can it damage the E-coat? If
you follow the instructions and proper use for the Inductor you will
not damage the E-coat. Over heating to a temperature that can damage the
E-coat would have to be intentional in a proffesionals hands. One would
need to turn the metal red hot to achieve this.
|
| 8. | Why do you refer to your equipment as High Performance? The
INDUCTORS Unique High Performance Inverters are designed to harness
wasted energy that is normally dissipated through large massive heat
sinks typically found in more primitive designs. This redirected energy
is added to the work load (i.e. sheet metal, nuts, bolts,
bearings...etc) giving the user more actual working power on the output
end. Others may claim more power however none truly compare.
