I've used three butane blowlamps, mainly for pipework, over the years
(the sort that use disposable canisters) and all of them have been
prone to flaring when you tilt them too far before they're fully warmed
up.

I see that Machine Mart do a "proper" torch (Clarke FCSF109)

for £23.

Anyone tried one of these? Any good? Any similar recommendations?


I have the Calor equivalent that I bought about 8 years ago and it is
1000 times easier and safer to use than the canister style blow lamps.
No faring and fits into smaller spaces.
