My advice is to get a used Victor or Smith  aircraft style torch  (or the 
like) and buy new tips if necessary. Get one new enough to have "O" ring 
seals   on the tips. 2 stage regulators are ideal.
It will do all those jobs and many more, plus, you will still be able to 
get replacement tips and parts in 10 years. You get more range and 
durability plus  cutting attachment  and rosebud capabilities.
  I think that the Henrob and those other little novelty torches are just 
expensive amusement...others will disagree enthusiastically.
