[CAUT] clean hammer burning tool

[Mark Cramer]

Thanks Gary,

good to know the "econo" lighter works best. As I recall the "flameless
torch" is at least a hundred an fifty bucks... that's a lot of Bics!

My assistant found some cool charcoal lighters with a flexible gooseneck.
Unfortunately, they seemed to have a much shorter lifespan than a
traditional lighter. (?)

best regards,

Mark,

I have one of these. It works fine, similar to a heat gun, but
smaller. It uses butane. It is rather expensive, and I only use it
when my butane charcoal lighter fails. I also prefer an open flame
like the charcoal lighter because it seems to work faster.

Sincerely,
Gary Mushlin, MME, RPT
