looks very similar to the superfire 2

Looks even more similar to the monument torch & perhaps IS the same.
I have a brand new monument as a spare torch, just incase my Surefire 2 fails suddenly.
i have tried it once & the flame is great, but the body feels a bit cheaper build than a Surefire.
Monument torch was slightly cheaper than Toolstation price.
i will compare my Monument to the Toolstation photo & let you know.

Sorry don't know. However my old torch was the Super fire 2. I replaced it with this extreme turbo torch after using my mates. Its mustard. You can find them on the bay for 65 quid. Worth paying a little extra for IMO

Cheaper on ebay;

GoSystem QP8088H Quick Pro Auto Power Gas Blow Torch | eBay

They come up for less than the above sometimes, mine was £23 posted.

Got 1.
Haven't used it much.

Seems good for a fully auto for the money.

Does seem identical to the Monument torch, now that I have taken a look at mine.

Don't buy it! Bought one and didn't realise it was leaking gas whenever connected to the bottles went through a bottle of Mapp in one day lol

its rubbish,had one for a bit it was cack get the SF2

 

[village idiot]

I have THREE torches. Two SF2 and another one I started out with. Why 3? If I have an assistant and their torch is craarp or they claim not to have one. Also, in case one fails. BTW, I always try and ensure I have at least TWO gas cylinders. Never know when you will need a replacement
