Blow torch advice

[dragon117]

Can anyone advise me on blowtorches. What to look for etc where to buy
Many thanks

[djs]

I wouldn't know where to begin, BUT, if I could turn back time (if I could find a way)..

I'd buy one with a one-hand operation. I can't tell you how many times I've lost a springy bit of wire on the floor whilst needing both hands to get the flippin thing going.

This is the one that I have dragon117 .. cracking piece of kit and well worth the money ... single hand operation and a good solid base

I gave up trying to make standard coils as micro coils are so much easier and far less fiddly
