Hi Irv,

    I've only found two places where you can getem. One is Frei and
    Borel. They call it the EZ-Torch. I found a guy on eBay that also
    sells them. Here is an eBay item number for a current auction he's
    running.: 2632303928 . Just enter that number in the eBay search box
    and it should pull up the auction. Starting bid is $45 with a "buy it
    now" option of $70.  I've never dealt with the seller but he's got a
    good feedback rating so I wouldn't be afraid of purchasing from him. 

    The Shark or EZ torch comes either with a regulator designed for
    disposable propane tanks or large refillable propane tanks. You can
    purchase an additional regulator separately. 

    I am going to buy my first torch. It will either be the Shark-EZ or
    a Smith SilverSmith torch kit designed for disposable tanks. I am
    leaning toward the Smith. It is a better torch. Disadvantage is that
    it is almost twice as expensive and only comes with one tip.
    Additional tips cost around $28 i think. Nice thing about the Smith
    torch though is that you can use the handle with Acetylene which I
    plan on using sometime in the future. 

    Regards, from SW Pa. where my hybrid dogwoods are blooming like
    crazy!!
