I need to do a plumbing repair and will be replacing a soldered fitting.

Can anyone recommend a soldering gas torch?

Maplin do a few - a "kit" for £30, a "micro" torch for £10 and a
"microjet" torch for £10.



The micro torches will be of no use whatsoever for plumbing. You will
need a bigger torch, such as the Taymar range as sold in B&Q etc.

Having said that, I must admit that I never had any luck with those on
22mm; the only thing that's ever worked for me reliably is my
Rothenburger (any plumber's merchant).



I agree with the above and also with this torch test:-
