welcome back to Steve Brown reviews today I'm going to review a burn somatic product a propane
torch extension hose and the reason why I bought this was because well your regular propane tank
if you're using for soldering joints or soldering a fitting or actually heating anything up propane
tank can be very limited on how you can use it and it's very bulky so I'm gonna show you the reason
why I bought this hose and this hose was like 25 dollars and I think it's just fantastic because I
have been so frustrated trying to work on projects well I'm going to show you why a propane tank that
you have nozzle on the end there for soldering well it's actually no good so let's take a look
and see the reason why I bought the hose and then I'll show you all about the hose okay right here
I hope you can see this hope you can see the flame here is your regular propane torch now
this one here has an electric start on it and it doesn't matter what kind of torch head you
actually have well I'll show you what happens when you try and solder and join it well it's good if
you're holding it you know perfectly straight up and down but if you start to go around an object
you hear that now and of course as you get to a certain level about this much or try to go upside
down the torch will actually shut off so it's not such a great idea especially for me sometimes I'm
underneath the vehicle and you know you get to this position about here and you know it's
gonna start to go out on your right well you'd like to be up like this but you really can't get
to access the room in there so we go over the hose I'm gonna show you the product right here
these guys let me know what you think I'm gonna start it up and show you how it works well here
are some of the torches that I do have this one right here yeah it's a small little torch with a
small little flame and it works great but you're not gonna get a lot of heat out of that this one
here it's also electric and it's only good for soldering and this one here you couldn't see
how easy we did to tip this over as well and it's pretty big right so I like to use these tanks here
now I have some of these old ones left over but I won't buy this style anymore this one here is
the one that I really like to use and this is the unit rate here just show you the part number there
and everything this was 25 bucks and all I did was take an old-fashioned and I have a couple of these
around and usually you see them on top of the tank like this or a tank like this I just attached it
right to the hose so before we demonstrate that I just want to show you like I use a torch many
times you know the solder in a connection not only crimp it so you know when you get into a
big connection like this you know with a huge battery cable well you're going to need lots of
heat right so this is where a hose really comes in terrific so let's just demonstrate that right now
okay so here's the torch right here and of course you can adjust your flame at the end if you want
you can make it larger you know our smaller flame and look how compact and nice this is
and this is I believe it's 59 inches in length and I mean take a look at that knot can you see
how you can actually fit that in all kinds of different places now this is not going to get
hot on your hands or anything here and regularly what would you have a big propane bottle hanging
off the end of it here now is that sweet or what I mean for me I think this is a huge upgrade and
something that I will use in the first time that I need to actually do some work because I am going
to make like a small little just arrest and you know many times all I'm going to use is my tick
welding magnet do you got one of them TIG wagon TIG welding magnets you put down and you can just
rest your torch on well that's what I'm going to use just when I'm working here at my bench and
this is just a terrific idea so I'm gonna show you one more thing about this that I thought
was kind of odd but you know what makes sense to me well this is one of the best features of this
extension hose is it comes with a little hook that hooks onto the bottle first before you crank down
your your hose and you know you can just hang this you know off your hook off you're like I
got a hanging off my jacket here you could hang it you know from the rafter and with this kind
of bottle well it doesn't tip over so easy does it I just want to show you one more thing about
any propane torch and that is if we take a look great in the end there you take a look in there
you can see all the little holes well every once in a while I just get my my welding tip cleaners
and clean out the holes if you don't do that you would be surprised how many you will see
them holes will get plugged over time and this is just very easy to do so what do I think about
this unit well I'll tell you something for 25 bucks I should have bought this years ago for
the amount of frustration that I've had and you know I don't know if you guys know about this
product but I think it's terrific and yeah it's a 59 inch hose on there and I think it's just
an awesome product I would highly recommend it and for use that are thinking about you know
using any type of propane or you can attach any type of head on it you don't have to attach this
type of head there's all kinds of different you know piezoelectric starts and everything else
I mean I just like the old fashioned type like this I started up with my clicker very easy you
know these are very simple you know they make a spark and it lights and I like simple right
okay so thanks for joining me here today you haven't seen this channel before you're welcome
