The Extreme Series torches, with patented Extreme Swirl technology, completely turns the fuel inside the flame tube, resulting in a pure working flame that is non-oxidizing and noncarbonizing. It burns hotter and cleaner, according to the company. The company’s products include tools for acetylene, LP gas, MAPP®, and oxyacetylene applications. Cylinders, hand torch kits, and brazing and soldering alloys are also available. The balanced and lightweight design of the propane torches comes in two sizes. They feature a rotating tip and a durable flame holder. The air acetylene torches come as self-lighting or standard with a full range of tips and accessories. Air acetylene burns hotter than MAPP and propane and is an excellent economic substitute for oxyacetylene, stated the manufacturer. The oxyacetylene outfits, manufactured by Victor, are available with or without tanks and can be used for light to medium welding, cutting, and brazing.
