Default Is this a good torch ?

Shop BernzOmatic Soldering and Brazing Torch Head at Lowes.com

Would this be OK to learn to braze with?
Thanks Joe

Yea I have that one, its a little more expensive than the one that mounts straight to the bottle but it sure is nice not to have to hold the bottle all the time. Worth the money for sure!

I found mine at OSH with a bottle.

i love mine got mine for xmas but have been eyeing them up in crappy tire for months and they are only 80 bucks for the kit. because i dont have to hold the bottle and all that shit plus holding your material... i've been using the flux coated brazing rod and i like it.. i hit up home depot the other day and found a plastic tube with 3-36inch sticks of rod for 6.95 so i bought one and an extra bottle of oxygen.. i've heard you'll go through 3-4 tanks of oxygen to 1 tank of ace/mapp. you can buy tanks at the same place you bought your torch, in BC canada the oxygen bottles are 10.49 each.. im glad i got some because i plan on spending some time brazing tomorrow.

I will be using larger bulk tanks and thinking of chem-tane, it burns hotter than Mapp and is cheaper
