I have a Rothenburger blow torch. I use the yellow Mapp has for heating up seized bolts on cars and the blue propane gas for plumbing jobs although the yellow gas is okay for both as long as you go careful with it. Yellow is hotter.

I have been using a cheap version fron Screwfix.I like the idea of the Rothenburger given their all-round quality but know Monument do one too.Can you please advise on the better option or would you say the jaw dropper is the best?

Ah, the old 'hoping for the best' trick. I think Rothenburger actually sell a specialist tool for this now. I WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's a nice tool. I had never heard of it before. It might work but the price is a bit of a blow. I might be able to hire one and try it out. Thanks

Anyone know were I can get a nozzle for the first surefire, it's the one without the gas flow adjuster.

How about a rad valve spanner? I use a Rothenburger ratchet rad valve spanner which has various sizes built on the shaft, going from small to a lot larger. Dont know what exact sizes are but I wouldn't leave home without it :wink:

that would be ideal, i'll have a look tomorrow and see if i can find one :)

Buy a decent pipebender. I have a Rothenburger and am quite satisfied with it. :D You do not need to heat the pipe when using a spring. :shock:

you dont need to measure your upstairs tap pressure, just measure the height of the tank above the tap 1m = 0.1 bar

Wowsers:shock: I would get onto their website and tell them off...........I did to Rothenburger when a hacksaw lasted a short while, and they replaced it, free. and gave me some goodies too. and I got me money back from the shop I bought it at :) Easy to do on the web. :wink:

does it come with an attachment for tight spaces? nothing worse than hoping for the best in a full loft :o

Screw on a cylinder or the end of a pipe? Ive got a Rothenburger something or other with built in igniter (a must-have IMO). It's ok, but there are others, just it was the only one in the shop at the time. Bullfinch is a good make, but there are lots of makes of cars on the road, obviously...

i must agree with chris about benders rothenburg have got to be the worst iused to have a pair of red record which i found to be the best.hilmore benders last approx two years,arm snaps as do bolts on the hook.blue record about the same now use tripod much better but bulky.

Yes I have had a look and they do not seem that good and people also comment on the older black ones being better but discontinued

...sealed system pressure. Should you really want to (and I can't quite see why you would) you could pressurise the system with something like a Rothenburger RP30 pump. It should then not need re-pressurising more than once, perhaps twice a year. In theory it shouldn't need re-pressurising at...

Look nice but £120 For a single job seem too much. What about blow torch used for soldering like the plumbers ones?

...is what the lead is dressed over and can be removed once the lead is removed, at that point if you wish you can add celotex insulation and the ply over the top and then go with alan 333 suggestion. And with such a small area to do you could do that with a hand held rothenburger being a plumber.

I certainly wouldn't recommend doing that. You need a good frost block & that will need a big enough sleeve.

...I like Turbotorch but can't find a link for you. I buy them regularly from a small independent merchants in my own town. The Rothenburger or that similar tool on screwfix you found are reasonable. Their fault is too wide aflame but at least they are hot enough to do the job.Just need to...
