soldering outfits provide fast heat with acetylene and atmospheric
air. Concentrated soft flame delivers 1700° F heat just where it is needed for
maximum performance on all types of soldering, heating, thawing and other
applications. No oxygen tank required.

fluted handle provides firm comfortable grip. Needle valve provides excellent
flame adjustment. Easy to operate, just hold torch and set flame
with one hand.

by hand . . . no wrench needed! “O” ring provides tight gas seal and allows
operator to rotate tip to any position. All tips and torch body are nickel plated.
