Need to Slice Through a Boulder? Try a 10,000-Degree Tactical Cutter

What it is: Magnum Manufacturing MAG9000 tactical cutter

What it's used for: Melting through doors, walls, or concrete bunkers

Locked your keys inside the Miata? Use a slim jim. Trying to breach an armored door to bust a drug cartel? Get a MAG9000. When government, military, and police organizations need to penetrate heavily fortified areas, they pack one of these heaters — its 10,000-degree flame will rip through just about anything. Pull the trigger and pure oxygen flows from the tank into a barrel at the cutter's business end. Add a spark and soft steel rods inside the barrel burn in the presence of the 02. (Get the party started with a battery-powered catalytic ignition system.) Once lit, the torch can slice through metal plate in a few seconds, even concrete or stone (yes, it can cut through a boulder). Bonus: You could hook a breather to the tank for an underwater getaway. Come on! Don't act like you've never found yourself in that situation.

World's Lightest Tactical Backpack Cutting System!

Side view of new tactical Alice backpack cutting system with torch and flame tube.

Using oxygen as the sole propellant, operators can quietly breach any material in seconds.

 

Introducing the lightest oxygen cylinder in the world. Not only is the cylinder DOT certified, it is extremely tough and durable. The capacity is up to 207 bar or 3000 psi allowing up to 30 minutes of cutting. Fifty percent lighter than aluminum and 70 percent lighter than steel, the cylinder is non-magnetic. Although many filling facilities can handle 3000 psi, the cylinder can conveniently be filled to 2,650 psi using older filling equipment. Notice the new rubber cylinder straps for rapid setup and cylinder changes. Yet another innovation by Magnum.

Capacity: 66 cubic feet or 1868 liters.

Diameter: 6.87 or 172 mm.

Weight: 9.3 lbs. or 4.2 kg.

Internal volume: 521 c.i. or 8.5 liters.

WHY IS A SINGLE TANK SUPERIOR? Dual tanks necessitate manifolds that are prone to leaking and are harder to maintain. Single tank styles are easy to maintain, less prone to leaking and far easier to maneuver through doors.

Ships with a precision preset 100 psi regulator and five foot of oxygen supply hose.

Each system will ship with complete CD video instructions, oxygen hose, cylinder, gauges, regulators, torch, flame cutting tubes, harness and collets. Once the cylinder is filled, the system is completely operational.

With the quick connect and disconnect hose adapter, the lightweight composite cylinder can accommodate a face mask for an oxygen source during emergency situations. This dual purpose torch system will not let you down.

Need performance? The torch system will pierce a hole in 4" plate in four seconds. The same torch will melt through security bars, hinges, locks, doors and much more allowing for forced entry. Best of all, the system is extremely quiet and displays a low spark threshold.

The backpack cutting system weights approximately.16 pounds when fully charged to its 3000 psi capacity.

The entire system is neatly packed in a heavy duty Pelican carry or roller case for convenient storage or deployment at the tactical site. The system is very easy to operate and essentially designed to provide the most reliable, dependable service in the most challenging field conditions.

Emergency response for all position cutting

Light enough to wear during tactical assault.

Impossible is nothing

The military, tactical personnel, SWAT teams and emergency rescue personnel occasionally find the need for a breaching system what will cut through any material in seconds. The MAG9000™ single tank is newly designed for greater field durability and deployment of tactical breaching packs. The back plate is strong aluminum and can be fitted for one tank or two depending upon the assignment. A small preset oxygen regulator cuts down on weight and with the guard, is safe from snagging. Oxygen pressure and flame length is regulated via a small thumb valve on the torch. A single hose services the torch. The ignition is deliberately kept separate from the pack to cut down on weight and to ensure no voltage is near the tank. Field igniters are also available which are lightweight and enable ignition with a match or sparker. The CGA 540 bottle valve ensures there will be no problems in getting cylinders filled.
