When you pick up The Little Torch(TM), you know immediately that you are holding a magnificent instrument which will enable you to extend your skills far beyond all previous limits. Whether you are in the first stages of learning your craft or have mastered it completely with more limited tools, The Little Torch will open a new world of possibilities for you. It has a great feel in your hand and is just a fraction wider and longer than your middle finger.
This superbly balanced torch with a rugged aluminum alloy body weighs only 1.5 ounces. The Little Torch features a thin, extremely lightweight hose which provides added maneuverability. In short, The Little Torch is designed to meet the most exacting industrial standards for a small, multi-purpose torch.
The Little Torch has unmatched flexibility — it can be used with several fuels including acetylene, hydrogen, propane, propylene, MAPP®, or natural gas. It produces a perfectly controlled, completely stable flame hot enough to melt commercially weldable metals, glass and even ceramics. It may also be used with special heating tips to melt up to 3 oz. of metal.
The Little Torch has twenty-one tips available to provide a wide range of flame lengths and heat output for various metals and thicknesses. However, the number 5 tip works best for me for flame polishing your acrylic duck call barrels. The operator can vary the flame length to his/her exact requirements by adjusting the oxygen and fuel gas valves on the torch body.
The Little Torch has many engineered-in safety features. Color coded hoses and valves help prevent errors in setup and operation. Over 80 years of Smith experience in the manufacturing of welding equipment gives you assurance of quality and satisfaction. Listed below are a few more features of this awesome little torch:
