I had to take apart a flimsy old cast iron camp stove today. Fifty year old
steel screws/nuts holding the cast iron top onto flimsy sheet metal. I tried
half-heartedly to unscrew them, but I knew they wouldn't budge. I would have dug
out the air chisel but I wanted to save the cast iron top to use to hold up my
lead pot over a Mike Porter burner. So I dug out the O/A torch and flushed off
the 12 offending screws in a jiffy. Knocked off a little slag and the top is
ready for the bead blaster.
I love oxy/fuel torches sometimes.

Another name for a cutting torch is "gas wrench". If someone hears
that one for the first time they know exactly what it is.
