Use it all the time on all my vehicles (I have a penchant for rescuing cars from the rust belt). Does not get nuts cherry red like acetylene, but usually does break them enough to turn. Be sure to run a die down the stud first -- since nuts aren't molten they won't be able to span crappy threads. I removed my entire original DeLorean exhaust system without breaking a single 10mm stud (important because I re-used the manifolds). Used a nut splitter on the 7mm's because I didn't want to risk snapping them in any way.
