Smith Mini Torch
This is an excellent hand torch. Extremely small and light weight. Very wide range of flame charictaristics. I have personally never used the included tips. I have always paired my Smith with a Hornet 3-4 inch tip. Has never let me down. Most common break is the hoses, and MGA now offers hose replacement kits. DO NOT BUY CHEAPER SMITH TORCHES. Stick with MGA there are lots of China knockoffs. That is all.

Go To Torch
If you do any detail work this is the go to torch. You'll be amazed what you can accomplish with this little torch. It's great for welding those seams and making sure every detail is perfect.

WOW
This little torch helps with welds cracks, so many things applying heat to the small of the back of a pendant without distorting the entire shape, making lenses. so many uses, the extensions are also something to look at heat gets to your hand in a lot of situations. This one is great, replacing hoses is not the easiest but the pros out way the cons for me on this one.

I should have got one sooner.
This little torch took my sculptures to the next level. The little torch can get inside the smallest areas and provide pin-point heat. A great addition to any serious glassblowers studio.

versatile and small
this torch can reach into places no other torch can due to its ease of movement. it almost feels like a torch on a string... i was using a national 3a for my hand torch applications and when i got a chance to use this i promptly bought one to use instead of the national.

The Little Torch that Could
I LOVE this little guy. It is the perfect torch for stringer and rod construction, perfect for detail work and tiny welds. But it is also functional enough to do some small scale blown work, easily making quarter size bubbles for petals and small pendants. My favorite feature of this torch is how lightweight it is, not just the torch body, but the hoses as well are incredibly lightweight and unburdensome, even after a long days work! Incredibly gas and oxygen efficient! negative features of this torch are the short hose length and my torch was not actually magnetic, so I had to trade to a non-magnetic stand.

weld saver
i didnt use a hand torch for years because i hadn't gotten into sectional pieces until recently.this little guy can be a life saver for getting devit off the surface of the glass, or cleaning up a weld. keep in mind though, that the hornet tip is pretty much a mandatory upgrade if you plan to get full use out of this thing. i had picked up a gentec version of this torch and it was better quality for sure. for me, this little guy is cheap and with the hornet tip is SUPER useful. if i upgrade from this hand torch it will be for a GTT handtorch ($$$). but no need for now, as i said, this thing will make your life easier during welding or for hard to get to spots. quality could certainly be better. hose length is lacking. the piece the tips screws onto came out the first time i used it. i used some teflon tape and never had a problem since.
