My torch crapped out on me and I'm looking for a solid replacement. What do you guys tend to use? I had a butane one that worked pretty well but I wasn't very happy with it's life span.(About 2 months)
I use a MAP torch made by MagTorch that is self lighting. I got it at Home Depot, kit cam with 3 torch heads, 2 tanks, and plastic storage case. Same as propane, except yellow tanks, burns much hotter.
Been using it for over a year, originally bought it to burn out the bushings in my F250 left springs so I could replace them. Used it for lots of stuff since, including lighting AMPS, 1st tank it just now running out.
I can't find the kit on HD website, but the head alone is there at $35.97 https://www.homedepot.com/p/MagTorc...ivel-Swirl-Tip-MAP-Pro-Torch-MT565C/300572289Any idea how much this ran you?

During that F250 Bushing replacement project I spent 2 days in the Missouri summer heat, beating bushings (and my hands a time or two) with a 5# hammer, so when youtube told me to use a MAP torch to burn them out, I would have paid any price they were asking!
That’s the one I have and I love it.View attachment 372465 Mine has a auto igniter though I think I am on 3 years same tank. I have lit it a lot too.
I use an older one of these! <It's pretty beat up> and a bic to light it. 10-20 seconds on the pellets and it's good. I mean if you were bored and wanted to hate your life and fingers, you could probably use a zippo even?View attachment 372465 Mine has a auto igniter though I think I am on 3 years same tank.
