The national is a great torch to start out on. the versatility of tips makes it a great torch for bench work or as a hand torch for lathe application. The flame gets plenty hot for its size. I have seen guys pull stacks and make large solid sculptures with it. If your looking to get into glass art and don't have a lot of money go with this torch.

National 3B-A

by -

The national 3B is a good standard hand torch. There are many different tips available, and even a retro fit kit to use the smaller hand torches tips. Other than being slightly bulky in comparison, this torch can do everything a Smith or Gentec can. This version has the barbed fittings to hook into cut hoses. While the 3B-B has threaded connections for fresh hoses. I highly recommend at least 1-2 hand torches per station.

Tried and true!

Simple, reliable, useful

This is the adjustable wrench of torches. If you have only one torch, get one of these. If you're starting out, get one of these. As you get good and your ambitions grow you get better tools you will use it less and less, but like that beat-up adjustable wrench in the bottom of the toolbox you will never throw it out.
