Gas torch for christmas, which one?

[armyash]

Seeing as i'm still slowly building up my tools I thought it'd be a good idea for the girlfriend to get me my torch for soldering as a chrimbo present and in the new year i will grab a few lengths of pipe and some fittings and practice my soldering.

What are you guys using at present any recommendations?

superfire 2 with propane

Another vote for the superfire with propane. Only really use mapp if the pipe is a bit damp, and it needs a good blasting.
I have found propane ok up to 35mm.

Don't go with map gas until you can do it properly. It is too hot to learn with.

super fire 2 yiou wont get better. start with propane then go mapp unless u wanna just gio for it just watch for overheating the pipe as its easily done at first. pts had the torch gas solder mat pump pliers and bag for around £80 not long back bargain at that price

Not been on for a week or so as I am in need of a new laptop and am now on a work computer.Nice one jaybob, that set from PTS is what i went for Thanks to everyone for suggestions. The super fire 2 seems very popular.
