bmsgaffer 2,043 #1 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) As I work more on metal items (i used to work with wood) there are more times where heat would be handy to help stuck items come free or for the rare times I may need to bend something. I most definitely don't have room (or the need, really) for a full size oxy setup. I could just get a cheap plumbers propane torch, but will that get hot enough? Ideally this will be something that can safely store on a shelf as I will probably only need to use it 2-4 times a year... What are you shade tree fellas using for your heat source?

squonk 38,906 #3 Posted April 10, 2015 If you really don't want even the little mini HVAC Oxy/Act setup another option is a hand trigger Turbo Torch with the Mapp/Propane mix 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #5 Posted April 10, 2015 I've been surprised by how much just the little propane torches help I've been able to get most any bolt but or bearing out with mine Spell check sucks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
