Whats the best Blow Torch to get?

[nysk2008]

Defo recommend the Rothenberger SF 2, great torch. I know you can also buy the new SF 3 online, never used one but I think you have to buy gas refills that only fit that torch so probs one to steer clear of for the time being.

cannot remember what my most recent one is, got fed up lookin, just use it to cook the solder and copper! tthe first one i had was great cannot remember its name and havnt seen one since. should check it out, it was cool.............or hot

im currently using the turbo torch extreme for the last couple of years and have been very happy with it although the piezo is starting to play up, am thinking of trying the bullfynch one from bes similar to the turbo torch. ive been through bout 2 or 3 superfire 2s and found them to fall apart to easily for my liking.

ive got the monument gasex at the moment. nice neat flame, doesnt feel like youve got a flame thrower.

just to update my previous post on this thread, ive just received my bullfinch firepower and it feels very solid with a nice neat flame. cost wise its half the price of the super fire 2 and hopefully twice as tough. (though thats not saying much)

Looks to me like the Bullfinch can be found un-branded at poofix and poostation, £5 cheaper at poostation though. I'm in the market for a new one (Don't tell 'em what I'm using now Kev...)

Here's the one I'm probably going to get and a pic of the bullfinch one to compare.
