Always ensure that your oxy/acetylene pressures are within the right range, otherwise, as with any rosebud tip, you will get a backflash fire. This simple rule I forgot, and after looking up for more than a minute my entire torch handle got too hot to hold. The rose bud tip will not produce the whistle sound, it will just get hot unlike the normal size rose bud tip. When using this tip, please also put safety first and install flashback arrestors on the side of the bottles of the hoses, especially when hoses are in use. The tip still functions and is fully functional after my little mishap, but it did discolor it a bit. Additionally, the handles and seals appear to be in perfect working condition as well. Keeping the pressure up is all I want everyone to know. As a newcomer to the micro torch arena, I thought it meant I could apply less pressure to the torch head. It's not true- There is less volume but not less pressure - That could have easily led to an ugly mistake but came out as a good learning experience.
This tip is used by myself in blacksmithing for bending or forming particular areas of metal. As far as I can tell, it works well for me, and I would purchase it again if it were necessary.
The product is of very high quality, packaged very well, and arrived quickly. I like it very much!.
I had no trouble installing the software. Soldering projects of any size can be done with this device. A variety of different soldering methods is very convenient using the five torches. It is a great resource for anyone working on a small project.
Thank you for sending me the product. It was good and arrived without trouble. It would be a good idea to work with This torch tip can be used for your Little Torch if you require the rosebud shaped torch tip. I do not know how long it will last since I just got it, but it seems to give a nice broad flame.
I think Rose bud is a good lil' one.
Thanks for sharing this.
