Status: offline 		One of the self-igniter types fell over in my shop and the neck of the cylinder started hissing. Too much mechanical advantage placing much force on the neck. It is somewhat top-heavy and unstable on the small foot print also. I still use mine, but I am very careful not to leave the set unsecured when on my bench. When done using it I always unscrew the handle from the cylinder.

People too easily forget that the more powerful a tool the more dangerous it becomes. Be careful out there!

I think that is a key piece of advice for all these small gas torches...

I used to... but have been lazy for guite a few years.... going downstairs now to unscrew all the tops - never know when a cat will knock them off the shelf!

Status: offline 		What also amazes me is that I was doing a search for something not even related to Mapp Gas.  A higher power must have guided my clumsy fingers to where I seen the warnings in a list of data, and seen the Warning.  Best Regards,   Capt,n
