Disappointing Plumbers Torch for Industrial Use

Based on my experience with this torch, I cannot recommend it for industrial and scientific purposes. While it did create a strong flame for a short period, it quickly died out and had trouble staying lit. This caused delays and frustration on the job site. On the positive side, the torch is compact and easy to carry. However, the unreliable flame makes it a poor choice for professional use.

Pros
  • Produces a strong and precise flame for efficient soldering and brazing.
Cons
  • Requires the purchase and handling of hazardous acetylene gas.

Pen defective and no return.

The handle is defective, no gas flows through. This product cannot be returned. Boy, double fire from Revain. A good lesson to learn is to always shop local when you can. If I bought local I wouldn't lose $145 and I would be helping the local economy and being able to deal with a real person and not a record.

Pros
  • Welding device
Cons
  • I will add later
