Rothenberger Super Fire 2 Torch

[Bo’sunParticipant @bosun58570]

Thank you Bill,

I've seen two instances of them bursting into flames, likely the same as you've seen. Luckily, my torch wasn't alight when I noticed the leak, and quite a big leak at that.

I'm currently looking at Bullfinch and Vortex.

A bullfinch handle and a propane regulator, You can go from pinpoint , for jewellery to a raging inferno that would make HELL look cool, JUSTby changing the burner ! Bomb proof to ! Noel

It's perhaps worth noting that in their Standard Torch System instruction leaflet Bullfinch stipulate surprisingly large minimum cylinder requirements for the medium-sized burners upwards.

I'm not sure how necessary it is to slavishly follow their advice on this count; I have used large KW-rated Sievert burners at 4 Bar off a 13kg propane tank, when, according to Bullfinch, burners of theirs this large should only be run from a 47KG cylinder.

Of course if Bo'sun is only after the kind of Bullfinch torch that screws directly on to disposable Bernzomatic-style cylinders, Bullfinch's caveat won't apply.
