Bernzomatic flexible hose question (small propane torches)

[1982fxr]

I gave up on the regular bernzomatic torches. Last couple I had just would not stay lit. Not like the old ones. Even upright they were touchy, a couple different ones tested on several canisters. I think someone said on here they had to change something in the design due to the EPA ?

Anyway, does this one work any better? Since it's made to be used in different positions...

Ahhh **** now I see it's just a hose thought it had its own torch head on it.

I use the head with the 3-4ft hose. Does pretty good for the job I do. It gives you the angle you need and less strain to your wrist vs the fix heads. Just remember to clear the hose after every use.

I use 5' hose and a benzomatic ts8000 best small torch I've ever had. Both held up very well. The hose is nice and combine that with the auto ignite, I can get it into some funky positions....

This has a consistent and adjustable flame.

I have that one and have had no issues other than sometimes you have to smack it to shut it off.

You should be able to get one cheaper, they are about half the price here in the UK, so should be even cheaper state side.

^^^I agree. Those are excellent.

I like the fact that off is really off vs. some torches where you shut the valve and there's still a slight flame that keep on burning. (safety issue)
