Better still, get the Model UT-100Si Master Ultratorch by Master Appliance. Check out the product at <http://www.masterappliance.com/selfign.html>. It's wonderful! Self-igniting, compact, fits in your toolkit. No extension cords necessary. Burns clean (*and* hot!). I bought mine through Grainger <www.grainger.com> and paid only $88 for the gun. Fuel is extra. You'll need to special order the large heat shrink attachment (#70-01-54) for burning hammershanks. I think it was another $5. I skipped buying the metal box. (Who needs another box!) The tool can probably also be used in finish repairs. If you buy from Grainger, it's part #3W772. In Winston-Salem, Grainger's number is (336)759-2000. They're located at 8101 North Point Blvd. -- Ron Torrella, RPT Piano Technician University of Michigan "Dese are de conditions dat prevail."
