Mini blowtorch

[Q A's Revenge]

I saw one of these in the kitchen shop at a good price and it seemed a shame to leave it on the shelf. All my other torches are much bigger so I figured it must come in useful for something ... So now I have to ask, have any of you guys got something similar and if so what do you use it for!

Very handy for soldering small stuff.

Is that a small torch?     It's the only size I own, and I have used it for all silver soldering on Bluenose.

I use a similar torch to silver solder and to anneal brass.

Aside from Crème Broule, it's great for silver soldering

Such a torch is good for general soldering, but if you need to do really small stuff you'll need something like this:

There is a smaller version which is great for silver soldering thin wire and other tiny stuff. You hold it like a pencil and in less than a second I can make a butt joint.

The little torch, bottle of fuel and the tube of solder/flux would cost about twenty to thirty dollars.
