Yes they do, and the cricket was made for working on a smaller oxy.

I don't know when I'll try the boro out, I have to get some boro glasses, probably see if I can find some used ones out there.
I'm glad you did get one, I worked for so long on a cricket and a 5lpm, big pendants and beads, boro marbles. They're suprisingly hot!
I now have two oxys because my marbles were getting bigger haha.

Buy a pair of boro clip ons, they're inexpensive if you're just looking to see if you like boro. I will say that you more than likely won't get a sunburn if you're just making beads and small marbles. I never have anyways and I burn easy. That's for the ones that use the huge flames like Phill said.
