Default Bench-Mount Propane Only Torch?

A friend down in Louisiana mentioned interest in having a small torch that is propane only and mounts to a bench. I bet he'd also like it to easily detach from the bench, too, to be used by hand. He works in multiple mediums, but not glass.

I'm only familiar with Hotheads on MAPP and Propane/Oxy torches. Is there one that fits the description above? He would probably want one that can do a pretty focused flame.

Well, for a focused flame it wouldn't really be the hothead. But any torch can be mounted, although the C-clamps aren't that sturdy. I would recommend a holder that he can screw into the bench, which is what I use. Much more stable!

Sort of sounds like basic hardware store "plumbers" torch with pencil point tip... Available everywhere...
