I just went to look up our sales of torches to see what was moving.
Was gob-smacked to find that the Superfire 2 had only sold a few hundred! What's going on?
Then I remembered the Rothenberger "hot-bag" promotion which included an SF2 torch. Phew - a nice large 4 figure number.
Aaaaaandddd, relaxxxxxx.

Do you stock the tips that have been mentioned ray?

We list a whole range of Superfire bits and pieces KB, but none of them sell more than a few dozen. The basic torch in its standard configuration sells many thousands.

Can u locate c type tip? Every one can get b type but c went out of production or out of supply? I will buy 10 c type for £0.01 each please??

I bought a Go System torch from eBay - similar design to the Rothenburger, but cheaper and probably ok for occasional DIY use. Gets hotter than my old butane torch!

Bernzomatic is essentially the same as the SF2 but comes with a better nozzle as standard and is cheaper.

No brainer - Superfire 2, if it broke or got nicked, I would just go buy another.

I got the bernzomatic because the only difference I could see between it and the SF2 was the price.

I had a benzomatic and it fell apart in about 3 months. I generally get about 18 months out of a SF2.

Probably because you've got bear paws instead of hands.

Seivert Metal Jet - also known as SuperFire 3 in USA and Aus.
Far better than a SF2
