thanks whippy

I believe you may be referring to the Henrob O/A torch.

I watched those demo vids and some of the claims were IMHO a tad misleading.

Henrob looks like a clumsy alternative to a proper torch. I use a Safire torch I've had for years and can highly recommend it.

I have the "man size" one. Saffire 3

I find that slightly more weight in a welding torch makes it easier to keep steady. (probably an age thing )

I'm the same with cameras. I can hand hold my old Canon SLR at far slower shutter speeds than my little Pentax digi.

(My O/A stuff is for sale BTW if anyone's interested. U2U me.)

nowt to do with age - due to inertia.

The one I use is a Safire FN50 which came with my portapak about 30 years ago. I just looked in the shed and there's a brand new torch I was given for doing a job and it is a Midget2 in a case with nozzles and a burning attachment, looks like it is made by a firm called BiG who I have never heard of.
