Brilliant advice thank you everyone.
Can I just ask more about the Sievert please?
What exactly will I need to buy for this set up? Cookies have beginner and professional. Are these the full, ready to go set up minus gas? Best to give Coosksons a call on that.
Can I buy the gas from the hardware store or B&Q/Screwfix for example? You normally buy gas bottles from garages or supermarkets, its the same ones people use for cooking/heating etc. I use Propane.
Are the appropriate Propane gas tanks refillable or disposable? Refillable
Any idea what I can expect to pay for the gas and how long it is likely to last for light use (melting my scrap bits every couple of months)? Not sure but I buy the 13 kg ones, use it several times a week for soldering and it lasts for months so the cost is pretty negligible - although the initial deposit is around £50 I think.
Do you guys think I'd ditch my little butane torches if I bought the Sievert? I used to use mine for small things but just use the small Sievert torch now even for jump rings etc as I find it easier than the small hand held torches.
Although having said that the Smiths torch is far better still for small things as you can have a tiny flame thats very hot.
