Which Gas Torches Do Professional Plumbers Use?

Sorry if this one has been covered before.

I've got a lot of soldering to do around the house, and need a new gas torch. I'm after the type with propane cannister attached, I want a good quality one that will give good results.

The choices seem to be Bernzomatic/Rothenberger or a Turbotorch. Which would you go for?

one of those and a propane cylinder MAPP gas is hotter, but propane is easier to use

i use the rothenberger superfire 2, quite pricey but amazing, also i only use mapp gas!

same blowlamp but use butane as mapp is to expensive

I use both but prefer the turbotorch, smaller flame just as hot easier to control.

I never use MAPP.

Bernzomatic TS7000, which is a Rothenberger SuperFire 2 wearing a cheap suit, with a more sensible price tag
