Re: gas cutting torch purchase

when i started my 58 truk i bought a victor torch set with mid sized bottles and used it once
i do all of my cutting with a sawzall (10%) and 4.5'' grinder (90%) with 6'' cutting wheels
unless you have a specific future need for a torch, don't bother
i have since sold my torch set to a guy who never uses it, but had to have one

my background is pipefitter/fabricator we used a torch for 95% of our cutting
but on a vehicle use of a torch and open flame, is just too limited
a sawzall will cut up the jimmy faster than the torch without shattering glass and starting the interior on fire

if the jimmy is way out in a field, your money would be better spent on a generator to run the sawzall
