| i have ben using an acetyline outfit from hado for years now and love it. when soldering lots of copper flatlock i never have to wait for the heat to catch up. its the hado or a coal pot for me the only thing i found the propane setups good for is light work like small chimneys and gutter repairs. |

| The hado was the first one that I tried, but it uses much more gas and doesn't like windy conditions. |

Hado works great! I've got a buddy that I helped train. He took a Mapp Gas rig from Home Depot ($25.00) took an Iron and hose clamped it to the torch. He says it works great. It's got about a 4' hose and a clip that you can clip the little tank to your belt. I tried it but I like the Hado cause I've used it for a long time and it's hard to teach an ole dog new tricks. By the way they make shields for the Hado Irons. If that isn't enough I build a wind break out of cardboard or plywood. Peace!  |
