Mini torch questions ?

[xsputnikx]

I have never used one but I want one of the smith minis. Is there a kit that comes with everything I need ?

If not what supplies do I need ?

Is there different gas setups to run?

Does it depend on what materials you are using?

How expensive are they ?

Sorry for the 20 questions I did look at some of the other threads but I'm on my phone and not finding the info.

I have a flux core wire welder but its one of the harbor freight ones and just seems like the torch would work better and I could use it on more material than just steel

Are the smiths for sure made in USA? The china one looks exactly like there mini torch! Some places 70 percent cheaper to

I think the Smith Little Torch is USA. Everywhere I have seen it listed it says USA is COO.

It is very popular with some of the guys I work with. Not sure about the import models as far as quality, but the price is way cheaper.

I always believe you get what you pay for with that being said I'm always looking for a bargain if the quality is comparable.

I'm the same way but man they look the same everything about the kits. Harbor freight, smith, Chinese model even uses a very similar box. I'm not a pro so if it doesn't leak gets hot and tips work I'm good. I've found some for a little over 30.00 look just like smith and harbor freight which is prob Chinese anyway.

Everything you need to know about the Smith Little Torch (with pictures).

That should answer a lot of you questions.

I love my torch - easily one of the best tool investments I have made.
