Does he panel think….

My old bullfinch propane torch has just about had it so I sent off for a new burner nozzle and HORROR they have changed the sizes of the threaded end! I bet my old dad would never have bought it back in nineteen canteen if he knew it was not going to be usable in the 21st century.

So the question is: would the Bullfinch 404 type be the way to go?

I am working on a loco so there is the firebox staying issue and blow outs, general hard soldering and some light hard bronze work and lighting a fag when matches can't be found.

Or: the sievert route….

Enquiring minds need answers. Many thanks for any input fellow swarf makers.

Sievert offer a wider and more versatile range than Bullfinch including cyclone burners for use in the firebox. (They don't blow out in confined spaces.) See **LINK**

Ahhh, then it has served you and your Dad admirably and is now ready for retirement. smiley

Lets hope the younger generation of torches will last until the next century. wink

Yes, Sievert do make some nice stuff and very reasonable prices IF you get them from a good retailer. I've used Hamilton Gas Products for my purchases.
