Default Screw on torch question
OKay here's my new problem. I purchased a supposedly used "Hot Head" torch and it came today. It is imprinted with "Bernzomatic". It doesn't even work well. But if it did....could it be used?

got a pic? If its a standard one that comes from the hardware store probably not. Not enough heat. I have tried that.

Probably not even close to a HotHead...

This is what real HH looks like....



What you probably have is "hardware store" version of "plumbers torch"...
