Hot blow torch

[stani]

There was a thread a while ago regarding a blow torch, just seen it in Stax (for those that have one near them) £25-99 +vat

The only downside at the moment I can see is max op temp 1630 c when mapp runs around 2/2300 c

Propane also burns in air at a little less than 2000c, forgive me but I don't quite see the point of that operating temp warning especially when they have a plastic bodied piezo sitting quite near the tip.

Did they have any similar torches without the piezo?

 

[stani]

No that was the only type, I might get one as a spare, my sf2 is good but anything happens I'd be lost. So might be worthwhile just keeping it.

 

[gmartine]

Worth it I think, I've used one before and as you hold the gas bottle I found them far easier to handle than our gun style torches like the Roth.

If you're going to get a budget spare you won't do much better than the £40 from 'stool'station. I've been using it 6 months and really like it.
It's a Bullfinch under a different name as far as I can make out.

I'm almost certain the Bullfinch and the Monument 3450 are one and the same bar the different coloured knob, good torch.
