The Swiss Torch - Europe's Most Popular Jeweler's Torch
Manufactured in Switzerland, the Swiss Torch is the most popular jeweler's torch used in Europe. Craftsmen favor it for its balance, precision, and versatility. The Swiss Torch is four torches in one. First, it is a repair torch with a Hoke style head familiar to North American jewelers. Second, it is a microhead torch, a precision torch with 3 different hypodermic tips for precise soldering and welding. Third, it is a platinum torch, with a special tip that produces a hotter flame for melting and casting a small amount of platinum. Finally, it is a casting torch, with your choice of oxy/gas or compressed air/gas torch heads. The Swiss Torch works best with Propane or Natural Gas. The Swiss Torch is not for use with Acetylene. The Microhead and the Hoke style head can be used with Hydrogen.

Okay, so what's the big deal about the Swiss Torch? So many years of a midget and a smith torch. Both of those are just fine too, in fact using either one of those may get you thinking a torch is a torch...well, then I dare you to say that after you use one of these. This Swiss Torch is well thought out. The nobs are just perfect without changing my grip shape I can finely tune my flame. Just perfect! Make sure you get the little micro tips. That pivoting head is absolutely fantastic! No more dragging the gas lines all over just to get the right angle on your shot.
