{"product_id":"handy-flame-ii-propane-torch-5ft-hose-atmospheric","title":"Handy Flame II Propane Torch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Handy Flame II is a propane torch designed for jewelers and metalsmiths who need a reliable, economical tool capable of handling demanding soldering work. This atmospheric torch connects to standard propane or MAPP gas disposable fuel tanks — the kind readily available at hardware and camping stores — making it a convenient choice for the bench. The ergonomic grip and one-touch ignition system allow for quick, comfortable use, while the brass regulator gives you direct control over flame size. The Handy Flame II is well-suited for a range of tasks, including soldering and annealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis torch uses an atmospheric design that mixes air with fuel inside a chamber on the handle. The integrated 5-foot (1.5 m) flexible hose and regulator assembly provides reach and flexibility at the bench. Note that the hose assembly is integrated with the handle and regulator and \u003cem\u003ecannot be replaced\u003c\/em\u003e — if the hose shows any signs of cracking, nicks, wear, or damage, discontinue use immediately and replace the torch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best performance, use this torch with the brass regulator turned up. Operating at a low flame setting can result in uneven heating and potential overheating of your workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-touch ignition for fast, easy startup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic grip designed for comfortable extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass regulator with knurled knob for precise flame adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmospheric design mixes air and fuel within the handle chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 5-foot (1.5 m) flexible hose integrated with handle and regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with propane or MAPP gas disposable fuel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapable of handling large soldering jobs, including annealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for adult use only — always wear safety glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropane or MAPP gas (disposable tanks only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHose Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 feet (1.5 meters)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlame Control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass knurled regulator knob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIgnition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-touch trigger ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTorch Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAtmospheric (air\/fuel mix in handle chamber)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHose Assembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated — not replaceable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOperating Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnecting the Torch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use with disposable fuel tanks only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-tighten the torch onto the fuel cylinder until the connection is secure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the connection for leaks before use.
