Don't like the Superfire 2 anymore, want something that'll last longer.

Can't remember off hand mate, I know it was shedloads cheaper than a complete new torch though.

Just googled it, it's actually called a burn tube.

Very slow though. I've got a monument electrical inductance soldering machine and it takes around 4 times as long as with a blow torch. Very handy if you're working very close to highly flammable materials. I was doing a boiler and cylinder swap a few years ago and the cylinder cupboard was lined with polystyrene tiles. Even with a heat mat the tiles would have melted using a blow torch. The customer queried why I was using it and I explained about the fire risk and he seemed quite impressed. He was even more impressed next day when I went back and the front page of his paper had a picture of a listed building burnt to the ground by a plumbing apprentice.

I love my Bernzomatic – still going strong. It’s made in USA – solid.

I always remove the gas bottle. I heard that you can be fined up to £1000 if the police stop you and see it. Anyone know if that's actually true?
I've heard of them leaking and blowing up too along the way

Those leaking one were earlier this year and called back to the suppliers

Propane gas bottles ALWAYS leak when u disconnect them. I turn flame off and turn it down and leave it connected

I do some work in places where the fire alarms & smoke detectors can't be turned off so can't use a blow torch.
Does your machine set off any alarms ?

It can cause smoke if you use too much flux. A lot less than a torch though.
