torch
A torch is a stick with combustible material at one end, which is ignited and used as a light source. Torches have been used throughout history, and are still used in processions, symbolic and religious events, and in juggling entertainment. In some countries "torch" in modern usage is the term for a battery-operated portable light.
I would like to simply cut the flex copper pipe off just past the cut-off valve and attach a Shartbite male fitting or a compression fitting on the remaining copper stub which would be 7/8 inch in length after the cut. Would that meet code? Live in North Texas.
Thanks,
Don
Mines seen better days which isn't bad for about 4 years so instead of just blindly going out and buying a super fire 2 again just seeing what else is available.
ive seen the Bosch gli torch which is a good piece of a tool but as I have got all power tools are from Makita.
I have seen a to4ch from Makita but looks a little bit too chunky. I am after something I could use for boiler works.
Does anyone have a great torch in mind which works well?

Mines died, is the Rothy SF II still the pack leader and firm favorite?
The Nerrad looks well built but I haven't handled it, there's even a SF III that I like the look of but there doesn't appear to be much support for it never mind the price.

Hi everyone, I'm retired, thank the God's, so now my time is filled with hobby work and avoiding real work at all costs :D
I recently got into small steam engines and managed ok for a while with my Mapp gas torch, but anything other than "really small" is a pain to silver solder, so I bought a...
I salvaged a Bullfinch autotorch brazing kit from someone who wanted to get rid of it (Autotorch Brazing Sys : Autotorch brazing kit). It came with a 4 bar propane canister.
I was wondering if this could be used for domestic plumbing of copper pipes? E.g. as brazing torches provide higher...

Evening,
I have a rothenberger super fire 2 torch, can anyone reccomed a finer nozzle as the one i have is okay but not for awkward places as its like a flame thrower!
Thanks
they flame on my blow torch has gone totally disorientated it has occasionally done his when I have had some solder drop in the nozzle. Once this was removed it has been ok. But now the flame is disorientated even though the nozzle that you can unscrew is clear. Any thoughts on what's going on?
Just had one of my makita 18v batteries die on me. Had it plugged into makita torch and it discharged untill light went out so maybe that has something to do with it. Put it on charge and it started flashing red and green.
Any way to repair them or is it a goner?
My rothenberger blow torch isn't self igniting though you can still see it making a spark, why is this? Work perfectly if I use a lighter. Don't understand it with still making a spark when I press ignite.
