Vortex Blow Torch Review | Is this the Best Blowtorch on the Market ?

[@neilohara6880]

I have the same one as the first one you brought. Nearly set myself alight the first time I turned it upside down

[@Comm0ut]

Given your large audience a video on the classic air/LP and air/acetylene torches like TurboTorch. Prestolite, Goss, Uniweld and others have made for about a century could be a winner. Most home gamers using the simplest LP torches don't know how much more versatile the next step up can be. You'll have fun doing it. Their small heads and tip variety make them highly versatile and their simplicity makes buying used torches a safe bet while saving considerable money. The HVAC etc world has many useful tools more viewers should know about.

Good review thanks, I prefer the blue propane tom mapp gas as I find it heats more evenly, hard to describe but if you hold the torch undue say a 22mm fitting and feed the solder in from the top, by the time the top of the fitting is hot enough so the solder flows the bottom of the fitting in contact with the flame has been over heated and the flux burnt off. But then loads of my colleagues swear by Mapp, personal preference I suppose. Myles time served professional plumber 25+yrs.

Great comments thanks

Can it be used for torch down installation?

[@deanshalloe]

I've got one of these from toolstation today. I will use it for heating up seized nuts and bolts etc. What sort of run time would you expect out of a bottle?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

👍

[@manninghr1]

cheers just purchased one after watching your review.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Great, enjoy

[@Olleh987]

Is it good?

[@seanditch4419]

Is it normal for the ends of the nozzle like you have attached to glow red?

[@nivea123]

Thanks... but I wish you showed how to connect the cannister to the torch first :/

[@foxconNI]

Hi,are you still using this torch.

[@alexnicanovich3636]

Hiya am new to your page found it very easy to understand as i have aspergers (autism) and am now getting my own to Yakasugi some timber to waterproof it. Could you do a video on using coach screws to secure wood planks to metal bench legs or suggest a video as i want to create my own garden bench. do you do weekly projects we can follow along or get inspirations from?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Glad you liked the video

Wish Id seen this before I bought a Rothenberger with its horrible fat flame.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Ahhh

[@6lr6ak6]

Good torch, l got mine a year ago, mate give me 4 emptys, l fill them from my 47kg Propane, gotta leave the emptys in the freezer first, just as good as using Map cost loads less😄

[@jonm7272]

How about a bit less waffle, show the flame against a dark background so we can actually see it, for All three nozzles and, o, I don't know, maybe actually show us it heating up some metal!! That wasn't a review video, it was a crap instruction manual plus a lot of you saying you loved it.

[@kgztn]

Why isn’t this available in the US?

[@poorfordtransitowner1627]

Us brits invented plumbing pal

[@diljitjedi]

Mighty mind has been made up you have sold it to me going down after Christmas to get one I'm only a DIY so I don't need something that is going to be expensive and that has to work every single time probably get used once or twice a year on copper pipes cheers bud

[@TheDIYGuy1]
