Pete sez:
"...I'm thinking about getting a Smith Little Torch for
small silver soldering jobs, etc."

Yeah, me too. I've got one on order. The decision was made when I tried to
adjust the pressure and flame on a #1 Victor tip small enough to "size" a
finger ring. It was successful, but difficult (and scary) to do on a
diamond ring.

Thanks for the suggestion. I wondered why I usually see chain. I'll
just have to figure out a good way to snug it.

A previous reply asked if the torch was a Victor Performer. No, it's
the Radnor knockoff. It works ok and is supposed to be compatible
with Victor tips.
Thanks also for the nice comments from everyone.
