Anyone recommend a cheap blowtorch for coiling?

[boyofford]

Hi, 

Getting fed up of pulsing my coils and compressing with tweezers... usually ends up with last bit of wire leaving coil and often with me miss shaping coil and having to realign with drill bit and start again!
So thought I'd have a look on ebay for blowtorches but unsure what is ok.
Guessing handy looking ones for melting suger etc in cooking ain't gona be precise or hot enough?

I want one that stands up on its own and self ignites/switches off, preferably not to big and refillable with lighter fluid I guess?... any suggestions?

Cheers

Check my coily thread, I got mine from homebase for £9.99 and it's spot on, igniter button and gas controller, take lighter gas and stands up all on it's own

I've gone the other way.......I prefer adjusting and firing on my SVD.......

Don't get the small one from Buy & Queue (Go systems I think its called).....I made that mistake.....Very difficult to fill with the Butane gas

I got one of those for the same price from EBay - only used a couple of times but seems fine and does the job

I've had a look through homebase website and can't find it, was it in a bargain bucket or something?
It's about what I'm willing to pay.

Got quite a few reviews mentioning it failing, though guess for coiling wouldn't be extreme prolonged use so would do the job, have you tried it?

I'm figuring coils will still need some adjustments but to get the basic micro coil outside of device does sound easier for me ans my cak handness lol.

This thing just seems to work perfect every time so far, fill easily and adjusts nicely. I have the SVD too same as lenny but I still enjoy playing with the blow torch lol, especially when you start watching all the vids for all the different types of coils and wicks. It's the thing for the micro coils too, getting them totally snug.

+1 for the Dunelm jobby.

Been using mine for months now and its brilliant.

You may also find these very useful for microcoils!
