For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I’m sharing a tool that I went without for a really long time. I decided to finally treat myself last year 💃🏼and I don’t know why I waited so long! This is an automatic torch lighter. It saves me SO much time, I used to have to locate my striker and then my striker would often take a few tries. This automatic lighter is hands free, you just tap your torch against it to produce a spark and light your torch. In this video I’m using it with my oxygen/acetylene Smith Little Torch. I also use it with my acetylene torch 😄 I love this tool so much, so useful! This is not a sponsored post however I’ll give Otto Frei a shout out because they are offering our community 5% off with code MMS719 and you can get one of these on their site! What other tools would you love to see for #tooltalktuesday ? Comment and let me know!!
