Blow Torch, which one?

[johnf]

I use the Rothenberger trigger torch with Propane mainly. Nice not to have a bottle of gas in your hand as it gives you more control and it can fit in tight spaces. Not cheap though! As a general rule I think that Mapp gas burns too hot for small pipework like 15 and 22mm. Can get the flux too hot resulting in a poor joint. Just my opinion!

Turbotorch TX504 is my weapon of choice. Find it much better than the SF. Never tried Nerrad's.

I'm tempted by turbotorch tx504 I've been tolled that you get a much more contained flame making soldering in awkward areas better , have you any thoughts on this as a owner ? I've got the Rothy

superfire 2is good just keep it clean and dont drop it mapp burns hotter than propane but is more exspensive

I have one and I`d buy another if I lost it.

I've just bought the nerrard. As fed up of sf2s dying.
Really impressed with it so far.

Anyone else purchased a Nerrad firejet ?
I'm in need of a replacement after having a bullfinch firepower die on me after 6 months.
Would normally go for SF 2 but saw Nerrad advertising in last months installer mag and fancied a change.
Thoughts anyone ?
