The J-40 body is only 3.5" long, so that aluminum "handle" on the Type 22 tip, it to provide additional area to hold on to the torch when in use. _kevin |

I'd never seen one. |

Goldsmiths like these types of torches because they can "get in" and "get out" quickly before the piece melts before their eyes. The couple of J-40s that I own, do not have a flashback suppressor in the body..but i've got them on the hoses. Check your email... |
