Theforge seems pretty dead...so i thought to post something to see if anyone is still alive here.
Frosty has enthusiastically touted these torches for years and i've never been able to afford one new or find one used.
It appears that they are really good and efficient at oxy-propane rosebud heating and pretty good at economical cutting.
The rest of the claims seem ripe with hype..I say this without ever using one.
Using my biggest Victor rosebud for spot heat while forging and bending...I burn a heck of a lot of oxy and the nearest gas distributor is over the mountain, an hour and a half drive away.
But...The full on, "Magnum" AllStates rig costs around $1500! And just enough stuff to run their rosebud looks like around $1000 according to Darin there.
The web site is amateurish, there is no 800# or parts list, or price list... The guy who invented it is RIP. Wonder how long they will remain in business?
Did i mention they also sell riding mowers and guns and ammo?
So, if anyone has an allstates torch rig they want to sell cheap..please let me know....
Otherwise, it's gunna have to save a whole heck of a lot of oxy to begin to justify the price!
