Default Just for Giggles....

With so many people criticizing the concept of a HH on a hose because it is supposedly a hazard because of the volume of propane it could spew into a studio before you can shut it down at tank valve, how come nobody has ever bought and tested something like this..........

Yeah I know it has a big ugly head and probably a flame to big to be useful, but it has several redeeming features even if it is useless as a glass torch.... Its fuel/air, come with torch head, regulator and a 10' hose and spark lighter.....

NO I'm not advocating anyone running out and buying one, but it you will send me $100 I will order one and test it for its viability.....

Just kidding...... Actually the thing is probably pretty useless for any glass work

Furnace workers use large torches kinda like this one ..... I sell them

But yea, this one's worthless for lampworking.

Oh, this one comes with a regulator. So, you're not running tank pressure through the hose.

Yup, the furnace folks use that and bush burners to keep stuff warm while they work.
