super fire 2 and bottles

[plumben]

I only leave the head on when I've lost the white dust cap

I have seen my Surefire still having a very tiny flame burning deep inside the nozzle after I had turned it off. I now take a look for the flame each time I turn it off & I unscrew the cylinder even if I have to walk away for a short while.
On another fire hazard point that I raised long ago, - Don't leave your drill batteries near steel wool! If the battery contacts touch the steel wool it goes up in flames. I once did this when moving stuff in back of van.

Head stays on bottle till empty but with valve shut off.

I heard that a few years ago and me and my apprentice tested the theory on a quiet day.

i never unscrew however i do think rothenpants super fire series is utter pap.

What others are around though? The only ones I see are rothenberger and everywhere sells the bottles so it just makes sense.

I have had mine now for about 4-5 years the head wobbles a bit but still works perfectly. (I did do mainly service and maintenance for 3-4 years so It didn't get loads of use)

I always lock the button on it but never take the bottle off. I've been in a few vans over the years that smell of gas in the morning where someone had left the button unlocked.

Looks like a handy piece of kit, no bottle in the way all day...

It really is, I'd never go back to one fixed to the bottle
