anyone used or got one of these for oxidising

[richo71]

just been browsing for a small blow torch for oxidising my ss wick and spoted these on the bay link

if so are they ok for just doing this oxidising task?  facetube vid aswell

They work great richo, I have one with a different name on it, but it`s the same. Bought it about 7 years ago from Maplin, about a tenner at the time. Just the ticket for oxidising or even small to medium solder plumbing joints

I have one aswell perfect for the job

I was hoping they were good but for £3.00 its unbelievable how they can make stuff like this for that kind of money, cheers robby and bomber

I got 2 of these with free delivery and a button to ignite

Totally agree with SKWODDY this:

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0092L0E7W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The one from Ebay is very hit and miss,(trouble re-filling it) that`s why I got the better quality one from Amazon.

Costs a few pence more but well worth it.

I placed an order for two of these last week. Didn't get dispatched on time and amazon prompted me to contact the seller to see what was going on. They said they were out of stock and I should cancel. I asked when they expect some and they said 2-3 days but recommended I still cancel due to the delivery time from them to the uk. Clearly they didn't want my money so I cancelled the order and got a beast from b and q instead.
