Fake or reproduction? The manufacturers of this “Little” torch have done their job really well and produced an item that, in my opinion, is excellent both in function and also in price. I have been using this torch every day for a month now and it has proved to be excellent, allowing me to be far more accurate and to solder finer silver wire than I have done before. However, there are a couple of points that I would like to share with buyers before they buy. With the exception of the oxygen and fuel taps being the opposite way around to a genuine “Smith’s Little Torch” there is little to identify the two apart. There is a difference in the tips that are supplied with this torch. This torch is supplied with tips 1-5 instead of 3-7. If you intend to use acetylene then tips 1 + 2 may be useful (these are not fitted with synthetic sapphires as with a genuine Smith’s). I have no intention of using acetylene so I drilled out tips 1+ 2 making them equivalent to tips 6 + 7. This is easy to do and they both work very well. For those buyers that are outside the US, and it doesn’t matter if you are buying a genuine Smith’s torch or one from Banggood, you will have to purchase 2 adapters for attaching the fuel lines to the oxy/propane bottles. This torch comes with a 9/16 connector which is not compatible with UK bottles; a ¼ to 9/16 connector is required. These are readily available and cheap (I paid £5 for the two). I cannot praise this torch enough, so much so that I have purchased a second one! The reason for this second purchase is so that I have a cheap replacement if my first one gets damaged – they are not likely to get any cheaper than the price they are now! I will also have another five tips (which are £23 + each if I wanted to buy them separately from Smith’s) as spares which I could alter? If you are considering buying a “Smith’s Little Torch” you would do well to purchase one of these “reproductions”. If you do, you will have a great “Little” torch that works as good as a genuine Smith’s but is a fraction of the cost! I hope that this is of some help for future buyers?

SMITH(23-1001C) Kit of welding torch of precision micro batane of oxygen arrived in time and to its destination with the correct measurement without deterioration or appreciable damage to the product the box with small sinking blow in one of the premieres waiting to screw to the batane and oxygen the intake of cylinders to test it. It seems that everything is correct to the naked eye we will test it in the daily work to see its correct curling as well as the functioning. One detail is that it should carry other connections for different bottles according to country but I think this would make the final price more expensive. Thank you very much.

SMITH (23-1001C) Kit de antorcha de soldadura de micro batano de precisión de oxígeno llego en tiempo y a su destino con la medida correcta sin deterioros ni daños apreciables al producto la caja con pequeños hundimiento golpe en uno de los estrenos en espera de enroscar al batano y oxigeno la toma de bombonas para probarlo. Parece que todo esta correcto a simple vista lo probaremos en el trabajo diario para ver su correcto enroscado así como el funcionamiento. Un detalle es que debería llevar otras conexiones para distintas botellas según país pero creo que esto encarecería el costo precio final . Un saludo gracias.
