This gas soldering tool can be used in a variety of ways. It melts metals such as tin, copper, gold, or aluminum, as well as glass, making it the perfect tool for crafting projects. Tiffany-style crafts are the specialty of this fine soldering torch. However, it is also a great companion for DIY projects. With the included catalytic tip, you can also perform electrical work with the gas soldering tool. Even without the tip, the soldering torch produces an open and pointed flame that is very suitable for fine work. To refill the tank, you can use regular lighter gas mixed with propane and butane.
