Lidl's gas torch

[durhambuilder]

I'm about to start boiler making and though a second torch would be useful as a back up to my sievert set. I bought one of the Lidl's torches £14.99 for torch, handle, hose etc not expecting much but for the money it's fantastic. As an advantage it differs from my other set in that it has the air holes at the base of the neck tube rather than the burner, for an experiment I lit it and heated the bottom of a bean tin to simulate silver soldering the stays inside a fire box and it didn't go out whereas the sievet did which I guess was due to oxygen starvation. The burner is not huge and I would expect it would be impossible to get other nozzles so probably no goodon its own except for small jobs.

Go and buy one before they sell out!

Was looking at those wondering if they were any good, did you get the regulator as well?

I did get the regulator, not intentionally though, Somebody else had screwed it on and the girl on the till didn't notice................
