Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient and Versatile TurboTorch 0386-0403 STK-9 Dual Fuel Torch: Ignite with Dual Fuel Power by Roy Bush

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality torch for MAPP and propane

I had to solder a small hole in the corner of a steel canister. I first tried using MAPP gas with my old Bernzomatic propane torch. It didn't work as expected. The flame was weak and not hot enough to melt the bronze solder. Received the STK-9 Turbo Torch this afternoon, screwed it onto the MAPP gas bottle, got used to the valve setting and off we went. There are some nice illustrations in the manual showing the user how to adjust the gas flow to get a nice hot flame. Being new to soldering (first time!) this flashlight made it pretty easy. It pumped out the heat and made the sheet steel nice and red hot. The soldering rod flux and bronze core melted well and flowed into the holes. This burner practically screams QUALITY compared to the much cheaper Bernzomatic burner which I have used for many years. It's heavy but beautifully designed. I'm glad I bought it!
