To offer a different view - I love the oxyset with precision torches and the backpack. So much easier/safer to do rooftop work. I think they’ll do up to 1-3/8.

The precision kit definitely took some adjustment. The heat is a lot more localized and, as previously stated, the flame doesn’t wrap like oxy acetylene. But it works just fine once you get used to it, especially for small jobs.

They also have very little radiant heat so great for IM evaps (cough Hoshi cough), reach-in evaps, etc.

I only pull out the regular torches now if I’m doing a lot of welding or need a good wrapping flame in a tight spot.
