Re: what the hell is this

They have gone the way of the Crockpot and the Lava Lamp. As Roy says, you light a stick of something, which produces oxygen. I don't believe there is any way to regulate the oxygen pressure, nor to shut if off when the job is done. Correct me if I'm wrong, Roy. Can you still get the oxygen sticks?

Could you feed the unit with an o2 tank and regulator or would that be pointless.

If you already have an O2 tank and regulator, you probably also have an acet tank and regulator, so you would have no use for it. If you had to buy the O2 tank and regulator, you would have to spend what? $100 to $150. And you would then have a torch with only one tip, and no more tips available.

Yes I have a full gas welding set, so I have no real use for this. I did put in a $3.00 bid just to see it up close, but someone out bid me at $3.25. Thanks for all your help.
