Handheld Torches

Handheld torches deliver fast, focused heat for welding, soldering, and brazing, making everyday metalwork, plumbing repairs, and HVAC service quicker and cleaner. With on‑demand flame control and compact designs, a torch reaches tight spaces, loosens seized fasteners, heats fittings for sweat soldering, shrinks heat‑shrink tubing, and preheats parts for fabrication or repair.

Choose a fuel type that matches your job and worksite. Butane torches and micro torches offer portability for light soldering, electronics, jewelry work, and heat‑shrink. Propane and MAP‑Pro torches raise heat output for copper brazing, larger fittings, and general shop use; swirl‑flame tips deliver faster, more even heating than pencil flames. Oxy‑acetylene handheld torches deliver the highest temperatures for brazing steel, silver soldering, and small cutting tasks.

Look for features that boost productivity and safety:
- Adjustable flame and fine metering for precise heat control
- Reliable piezo ignition, trigger on/off, and lock‑on for continuous use
- Anti‑flare design, check valves, and, on oxy‑fuel sets, flashback arrestors
- Ergonomic grip, angled head, and stable base for hands‑free operation
- Compatible tips and nozzles: pencil, swirl, flame spreader, heat‑shrink
- Durable brass or stainless construction and serviceable parts

Key specs to compare include BTU output, tip size, hose length and flexibility (on hose torches), regulator quality, and fuel cylinder compatibility. Torch kits often bundle regulators, hoses, and multiple tips to cover soldering, brazing, and heating.

Work safely: wear eye protection and gloves, ventilate the area, check connections with soapy water, keep sparks away from combustibles, and store fuel cylinders upright with caps fitted.
