I got one of these awhile back and it's been great. Hold two bottles of mapp gas and has room for flux, soldrer and some fitting brushes Holds my small and medium tubing cutters. I keep the btank in the truck and take it out when i'm working for a long time or need a bigger tip for the job. It does most of my day to day work.

Took me a couple of the those self ignighting torches to figure out why they wouldn't light anymore. When the solder drops into the head and the flame goes eratic and all over the place you must melt them out with another torch. Now you must remove the screw on tip and hold it with a pliers. Do it on the torch and you burn off the ignighter wires. Yep sometimes even I get stupid !! But the best one was a sawsall early model with two speed switch. Employee was burning up a metal cutting blade. I said slow the damn saw down, he said how? I said with the switch. He said that will reverse the saw won't it ?
