With so many torches to choose from, it can be difficult to hone in on the right one for your specific needs. To begin, take a look at our Getting Started with Soldering guidelines. This will help direct your choices for torches and other soldering tools. Remember to consider the confines of your workspace as well as the projects that you are working on. Larger projects require larger torches and remember to work in a well-ventilated area. A fume extractor is a great addition to your soldering set-up.
Every torch needs a good soldering surface. Charcoal blocks, solderite boards and fire bricks are all great choices to use with your torch. Jewelry Tools carries a variety of soldering boards, picks, tweezers and third hands to complete your tool selection.
