MAPP Torch? Please Help

Molo · May 1, 2009

I used acetylene when I was doing a lot of soldering for a company. Then I went to propane when working on my own projects and nearly fall asleep when heating the joint.

I want to take a step up from propane. Is MAPP the way to go? I would like your opinions on this kit:

Thanks for any replies!

I use an air/acetylene torch myself. I can never go back to Mapp, let alone propane.

that rig will probably be fine for you.

That is the type of rig I use most of the time.
Doing repair plumbing I might be sweating 8-10 joints max on a job and that rig moved my acentylene rig to the way back of the truck then into the garage...
I haven't used it in years...

Buddy of mine has this kit and it is damn cool. People think he can wear it like a jetpack and take off or something!

Mapp

Well, there is no more "MAPP" gas, but the MAPP+ is close to it. I have not used my acetylene torch in so many years that the hose is probably rotten. I use my hand held swirl tip Turbotorch with MAPP for EVERYTHING, and all sizes up to 1 1/2".

I have thought about getting one of these but the tips are killers if you damage one...and I don't think the igniter is replaceable
