(More customer reviews)This torch is ideal for the progressing amateur jeweler. It offer pinpoint control over where the heat goes - even the #5 tip (the one that comes with the kit) lets you direct the heat to with very fine control. Other tips are available, though, for even finer control or for heating larger areas or heavier workpieces.
This works with disposable oxygen and fuel (propane or MAPP) tanks, easy to get a most hardware stores. They might not have the capacity for a production shop, and cost more in the long run. For the home hobbyist, though, or for someone whose workspace can't accept the size or risk of full-sized tanks, that's a real benefit.
This doesn't come with a torch stand, but it's easy enough to make or buy one. It does come with a tank stand. It's not much to look at, but the wire rack helps keep things neat and keeps the tanks from falling over. I might make a new tank stand in the future and will have to if I start using the larger sizes of disposable tanks, but this one is fine for now.
The Little Torch won't weld a trailer hitch onto your truck, but it was never designed to. It doesn't replace a larger propane-air torch, either. You'll need that for heating large areas, and the wider, gentler flame makes annealing a little easier than with this one. From the moment you pick this torch up, though, you just won't want to put it down.
