Best off buying that one at Bunnings. You can sit it on the ground in front of you and have two hands to work the blade into what you want, rather than one hand holding the jet lighter and the other holding the blade. You'll need to work it while the flame is on it otherwise it will loose it's temper and snap when you go to use it.

If your not going to do any bending of the material (ie making wrenches) then you shouldnt need a blow torch anyway.

They got those same knockoff brand dremel attatchments
and they even come with a USEABLE storage caddy.

Mine were $20AU and yeah, about a hundred pieces or something,
most of which are the discs etc that you need.


I think this is the set from Bunnings, I've also seen the same set at Big W.

Excellent value at $20.


I got that set..actually i have 2 of that set.

I keep running out of disks so i buy a whole other set :P

I've got to admit, that's a very nice wooden box too. That alone is worth the price.
