I need to replace my oxy-acetylene torch. I have one of the small "IOMagic" sets, probably made in Taiwan. It leaks between the handle and the head.
I'm sure I could get it fixed, but I think I'd rather just buy a good brand on ebay.
I also have a very old Smiths cutting torch with many tips. It is rusty and also leaks between the handle and the replaceable head.
I was thinking of buying a used Smiths torch, in hopes of being able to use the many tips that I have. Or should I just buy a Victor, which seems to be much more common. What about other brands like Goss, Uniweld, ESAB...
I also see on ebay the apparently great "Henrob" torch kits for $300. Maybe great, maybe hype??
Anyway, I want something professional quality. I'd love to get a plasma cutter someday, but until then a good cutting torch will have to do.
Thanks-
