    Hi everybody, I was reading an old thread in the archives about the
    EZ Torch or Shark Torch. Was just wondering if you feel this is an
    appropriate beginners torch for a beginner. 

    I won't be doing anything fancy with it but can forsee myself
    working on soldering silver and gold findings or making a bezel
    setting for a cabochon and soldering jump rings. 

    I understand that you can't fine tune the flame as much as a more
    expensive torch. Would this make it difficult to use? 

    Can you use MAPP gas with it? 

    Would be especially interested to hear from Noel who recently
    purchased one! 

Thanks,
Dan T.
