[TheForge] Ronson Aero Torch

[Bruce Freeman]

Mikey,
That's the AEORtorch you mean, not the TECHtorch?  

Sounds like something I could use.
But I can't find it for that price on the ACE hardware site.  Ronson
has it on sale for $23.50 at

Many of you know that I dabble in gas burner designs, and also that
I'm
researching torches, for a survey chapter in my next book. One of the
torch
chapter sections concerns blue-flame butane micro-torches. Most of
these are
poorly constructed and/or overpriced (Blazer for instance is well
built, but
priced in the same range as small oxy-fuel torches). However, Ronson
makes
two exceptional torch designs at low prices. One of them is a needle
flame
torch of no interest outside of instrument repair or miniature
engineering
(although very well built). The other one is an ingenious design that
incorporates every trick to make exceptional performance possible,
including
a copper heat-exchange tube to accelerate its low pressure butane gas.
The
result is a flame nearly the equivalent of a high-speed propane tube
burner
in 1/8" size, for about twenty-three bucks. You can order them through
Ace
Hardware.
