    Hi FishbRe: I generally use my #5 tip for most work, and once in a
    while I need a bigger flame and I'll put on the #7. Rarely use the
    smaller ones except for delicate chains, etc.  Don't get discouraged
    with that torch, it's a very good tool.  You can get a whole range of
    tips including a "rose-bud" tip for melting metal, a double ended tip
    (can't see needing that one in the immediate future), etc.  I have a
    Meco Midget on one of my benches and the Little Torch on the other. 
    I find myself using the Little Torch most of the time because it's
    light and compact and I don't have to drag around the heavier hoses.
