Gas Blow torch for brazing/soldering
« on: June 19, 2020, 11:31:53 AM »
I'm looking around comments from forum members who have got canister powered gas torches
Any ideas suggestions for modern gas blow torch not one for 19kg propane, needs to be portable.
 Thanks

Get one with a decent size flame / interchangeable nozzles

from screwfix

Cheaper from toolstation

I often use shrinkwrap tubing on electrical stuff so got one of these - it does not have a flame but gives a radiant heat from a catalyst - works really well on shrinking stuff but won't heat up a large chunk of anything or solder    - pretty safe to use close to normal PVC cable insulation - not supplied with much shrink tubing though.

Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot
