New MAP-Pro cylinderВ with 1/4 turn feature and threadsВ that is compatibleВ with CGA600 connections. Propane is made from refined crude petroleum and natural gas.В It is relatively inexpensive, but it is considered a slow heat source when itВ comes to heavy duty soldering work since it has a lower flame temperature.В Propane is often the choice for the homeowner or do-it-yourselfer because itВ works well for small projects, is readily available and is cheap.

Propane for a hand torch fuel has been aroundВ for a long time. So for usВ one of the first question we had to ask was why a new fuel? Maybe the best wayВ is to give a little history lesson on hand torch fuels. BernzOmatic Quickfire Hand Torch Fuel Connection The torch is designed inВ such a way that it will only accept the new Max Power Propylene fuel cylinders.В The new Max Power Propylene fuel cylinders are also threaded so that you canВ use them with virtually any hand torch that has a CGA600 connection. One of the interesting features of theВ BernzOmaticВ QuickfireВ TorchВ is that the cylinder does not use a threaded connectionВ but rather a 1/4 turn feature to hold it in place. This smaller cylinder is what helps makeВ this torch so compact and lightweight.

The included fuel cylinder is about 1/3 the size of most full sizeВ cylinders of propane or MAPP gas fuels. The knob is clearly markedВ to show which way to turn it to either increase or decrease the size of theВ flame. On theВ rear of the torch head is a flame adjustment knob. Just above and behind the trigger is a lock on buttonВ that can easily be activated by your thumb once the trigger is pulled. There is aВ trigger that, when pulled, starts the flame and keeps the flame on as long asВ it remains depressed. We will take a closer look at this claimВ later.Д¬ontrols for the torch are easy and very straightforward. BernzOmatic claims that this nozzle produces a 30%В more efficient flame as compared to their very popular TS4000 MAPP gas torchВ head because of its вЂњUltra SwirlвЂќ feature. The only visible metal part is the silverВ colored nozzle on the front. The overall body ofВ the torch is entirely made of black plastic with gray rubber overmold on theВ back of the handle for added grip. Our test torch kit arrived in a clear plastic clamshellВ package complete with the torch head and a fuel cylinder.
