Also thinking of buiying some kind of propane torch for general model-engineering use (heat treatment, brazing etc and probably eventually including boilermaking) and wondered if anyone here had any advice on what to look for ? I have seen references to Sievert gear being of good quality and wondered what the chances are of picking some up cheaply at the same place ? 


Although nowhere near the quality of the Sievert kit I've got a couple
of gas torches that I bought from machine mart.  For under £25 you get
a regulator, hose, torch and three different sized nozzles.  It
depends how much you'll use it, but for my occasional use it works OK,
and was definately value for money.  Go for the larger sizes (15, 40,
50mm nozzles), I started with the smaller one and it was too small for
silver soldering anything but the smallest jobs -so I bought the large
ones as well.

I was thinking of one of these. Does it have a hose fail device, and
if not how much of an issue is this in practice?
