The SLICE Cordless Striker Pack is the latest addition to the complete line of exothermic cutting equipment. The SLICE Cordless Striker uses two small lead-acid batteries to supply a current surge sufficient enough to ignite both the 1/4" and 3/8" bare SLICE Cutting Rods. Just put a bare SLICE Cutting Rod in the torch and start the oxygen flowing. Then touch the rod to the upper contact point in the head of the Cordless Striker and scratch the rod tip against the striker bar to cause the arcing action to start. This will cause the rod to ignite and the cutting process can begin. You no longer need the cables that run from a torch and striker to the battery. All of this has been put into the hand heldstriker igniter. When it is time to recharge just insert the igniter into one of the receptacles on the recharging unit. The red light will come on indicating the unit is charging. When the green light comes on the igniter is recharged and ready to go. The recharging unit is capable of charging two igniters at a time, in less than four hours. Along with an igniter and the recharging unit you get the SLICE Torch, a supply of rods and the collet extension and shield for piercing. These parts all come in a rugged metal tool box.
