I wasn't looking for a rig for serious steel welding - read my review accordingly. I was looking to fuse some heavy-gauge (10ga) non-ferrous metal beyond the capacity of my usual propane-air torch. They might generate high enough temperatures, but the metal sucked the heat away from the joint too fast for fusion.
This does the job just fine. I had been having trouble finishing the ends of 10ga wire work. The usual findings weren't cutting it, the shapes are too uneven to make fabricated findings work well, and I'm just not nuts about using glue in these things - a nice, solid cold join like a rivet give me more sense of commanding the craft, but would have been difficult to apply, if even possible. A fused end seemed ideal, and a light-duty oxy-gas rig seemed like the tool of choice. Early results are all good. And, compared to the Smith Little Torch (a different tool for different jobs), the tank caddy is a Caddy, compared to the Smith's Volkswagen.
That said, I have to agree with some of the negative reviews. Yes, the disposable oxy tanks have limited working life (and high price), but don't blame this tool Yes, the oxy valve is fussy: I turn and turn and turn and get nothing, then all of a sudden, way too much. A little practice with it and a light touch will get the result you want. Yes, it's not easy to screw the oxy tank onto the valve, but I think I was fighting the first release of pressure when the valve got into the tank ahead of the tank and valve threads engaging.
And one more thing, not the tool's fault; You must light up the fuel before turning on the oxy, as with any torch. But it takes a while turning the oxy valve to get it going, and the fuel burns sooty, throwing threads of carbon into the air until the oxy kicks in. I have a tight workspace with limited ventilation, but I also have an air cleaner. When I fire up this torch, the air cleaner's schmutz sensor pegs and the fan goes into overdrive. If you have otherwise good ventilation and some tolerance for a little dirt, I envy you. Otherwise, I strongly recommend adding an air cleaner to your shopping cart, if not for your lungs and cleaning chores, then for whoever shares your work and living space.

Nice little torch. Only problem is that the oxygen runs out pretty quick, might look into trying to add a little bit bigger o2 tank. Maybe a 40 cu ft tank.

However, you will run through tons of the RED O2 tanks that are normally used with this torch! So, I simply adapter the O2 hose directly to one of my larger O2 welding tanks. Just visit your local hardware store to get the fittings to adapt it to the O2 regulator on the larger O2 tank. Fitting were under $10 and now I have a fantastic mini torch that runs for a good while on the normal little MAP gas YELLOW tank and my larger O2 tank.
I set the pressure on the O2 gauge at the tank to 20PSI and the torch works great.
See the photo I provided for what the setup looks like.
Excellent torch! But use bigger O2 bottle.

I use this torch to remove oil canning from automotive sheet metal. To do this you need super hot pinpoint flame that gets the sheetmetal red hot about the size of a dime. My larger welding torch gets things to hot to fast but this little torch is perfect for this task.Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
