Butane, propane, MAP & oxy: Which blow torch is best for you? | Auto Expert John Cadogan

Trying to choose the right blow torch for your shed? In this video, I compare butane, propane, Trade MAP / MAP-Pro, and the difference between using air or oxygen as the oxidiser — because the “best” torch depends entirely on what you’re actually trying to do. If you just want to heat something up, loosen a stubborn bolt, do some light plumbing, braze properly, or avoid buying an overhyped setup you don’t need, this report will help. I cover: butane vs propane vs MAP-Pro air-fuel vs oxy-fuel which torch burns hotter which setups are actually useful in a home workshop what’s good value what’s overkill and which torch is the right tool for different jobs There’s a lot of confusion in this space, and plenty of marketing nonsense. Some torches are cheap but limited. Some are hotter but cost more to run. Some sound impressive, but make no practical sense in a normal home shed. This is a practical guide to help you choose the right torch once — based on what you actually do, not what the packaging claims. So if you’ve ever asked: Which blow torch is best? Is MAP-Pro better than propane? Is butane enough? Does oxygen make a big difference? Which torch should I buy for a home workshop? …this one’s for you. #blowtorch #propane #butane #mappro #mapgas #oxytorch #brazing #plumbing #diy #workshop #tools #homeworkshop #welding #autoexpert #johncadogan Get 25% off the following Hot Devil torch kits at Auto One.
