Overview

Smith designed The Little Torch as a small, light unit for fusion welding, brazing, heating and soldering fine work. The outfit comes with a torch, curved tips, long hoses and a manual.

A light torch on a flexible hose gives pinpoint control for fine work, and a range of tip sizes covers different flame needs. Regulators and gas cylinders are not listed, and oxygen is needed along with a fuel gas.

Who it's for

Jewelers, hobbyists and workers joining thin metal or fine wire can use the range of tips and flexible hose. Buyers wanting to cut thick steel, or a kit with regulators, need a different outfit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light torch for pinpoint control
  • Flexible hose for easy handling
  • Tip set gives a range of flames
  • Works with several fuel gases
Cons
  • Regulators not listed
  • Oxygen supply required
  • Gas cylinders not listed
  • Not for thick material

Performance notes

Tip size sets flame size, so fine tips suit wire and larger tips heat thicker metal. A light torch head and a flexible hose reduce fatigue and allow steady, precise movement. The fuel gas chosen changes flame heat.
