Brass Oxygen MAPP/Propane Welding Torch| Duel Fuel by Oxygen and MAPP PRO/Propane for Welding Brazing Soldering,

Great little torch.

the regulator works very well and was surprised how much longer oxygen tank lasted compared to my old torch kitthe controls at the torch end make it easier to control the flame desiredthis torch works great

I'm very happy with it and it makes it handy to use.Thank you Lawrence

I used this torch to get some catalytic converter bolts loose on my wife's car. The car is 20 years old and has 100,000 miles on it. I didn't think I could get them out so I took it for a couple estimates on an exhaust system. The cheapest one was $1,100 - more than half the value of the car. Parts, meanwhile, were $300.There were three studs/nuts holding the exhaust pipe to the converter. The worst of the studs I knew I could drill through and just use a bolt. The other two studs it wasn't possible to do that and if I messed it up would necessitate replacement of the converter. I took my time and heated the casting around the studs until they were a dull red. I don't believe I could have gotten them cherry red with this torch because the flame just isn't big enough.That was enough, however, as the studs then turned right out. I replaced all the hardware with stainless steel so the next guy won't have a problem (we're selling the car).The torch can be a little finicky to adjust but seriously - what do you want at this price point? A small oxy/acetylene rig is $350 plus tank rental.Make sure the oxygen bottle is turn all the way open. Open the MAPP gas valve on the torch and light it. Turn the gas down until the base of the flame is touching the torch tip. Slowly open the oxygen until you get a nice hot blue flame. Slowly open the MAPP gas and then oxygen valves until you get the size flame you need.The oxygen doesn't last very long so if you have much to do you may need a couple of bottles. Prices vary considerably so look around. Local is probably cheaper.

Love it. Appears to be VERY well made. Should last a long time. Works very easily. I use it for brazing a wonderful nickel/silver brazing rod that melts about 1,200 F. Well below the temperature the torch is capable of. This rod flows beautifully, like an easy solder joint. Evidently 15% silver or higher makes for such good flow. There appears to be only about 150 degrees difference between the MAPP/Pro and propane. (This is not as hot at the no-longer-available original MAPP gas.) So for my purposes there is no advantage to using the twice-as-expensive MAPP/Pro. I'm using propane.
