Thermal breaching tools use high-temperature exothermic reactions to cut through metal, steel, locks, vehicle frames, and reinforced barriers. They give tactical teams a fast, controlled way to penetrate targets without explosives.
If your team needs a full, procurement-ready solution, request a quote from EOD Gear — a GSA Schedule holder and ISO 9001:2015, ITAR-registered FFL/FEL manufacturer.
Thermal breaching systems can cut carbon steel, stainless steel, rebar, hardened locks, vehicle frames, hinges, metal doors, and structural supports. With the right rod types, they can even cut cast iron and certain alloys.

Most exothermic breaching torches burn between 4,000°F and 10,000°F, allowing operators to melt and separate nearly any barrier used in tactical or rescue environments.
If you need help selecting the right torch for your team, request a quote from EOD Gear — GSA listed and licensed (FFL/FEL) to manufacture and deliver mission-critical breaching tools.
Thermal breaching gives teams a lower-signature, non-explosive option ideal for tight spaces, indoor operations, stealth requirements, or situations where blast effects create risk. It also reduces structural damage and simplifies logistics.
If your unit needs both thermal and explosive breaching options, get a quote from EOD Gear — an ISO 9001:2015, ITAR-registered, GSA Schedule manufacturer trusted by EOD and SWAT teams worldwide.
A typical kit includes the torch handle, oxygen source, cutting rods, PPE, hoses, regulators, igniters, rod quivers, and mission-specific accessories. Kits vary significantly between EOD, SWAT, SOF, and Fire/Rescue operations.
