Little Torch vs Prest o lite

[lampworker1]

Hi,

I have to replace my Prest o lite, but I see the little torches. Are there any metalsmiths that have had experience with both of them and could tell me the difference, pros and cons between the two?


thank you

My metalshop teacher told me to go to lowes and get a lil plumbing torch for annealing metal. Starting doing my metals next week, I will let you know how it works out. I have a minor and a hothead, but just gonna stick with what he said, as he said they are inexpensive. then again, maybe that is a pres to lite if that tells you how much I know, ha ha ha. He actually told me I could use my minor or hothead, but Im afraid I would burn it up.
