    I am not trying to knock anyone's effort, but really I can not see
    why anyone would recommend a source for a product that will cost
    more than getting it elsewhere, more often than not for a
    considerable amount. I have seen this on this list over and over with
    a number of things. As for the Prestolite torch why would anyone get
    that from www.bartcotools.com for $169 when you can get the very
    exact thing for $125 at http://tsijeweltools.com . It gets better
    than that depending on what you are shopping for, do you want a Smith
    air/acetylene torch then compare http://www.pacificwelding.com to
    the bartcotools price.  As for that matter it should be no secret
    that if you wanted a jewelers bench you will see at least a $45
    difference for the same model from the same manufacture, and
    sometimes depending on what you are looking at you will see more than
    a $100 difference, occasionally several hundred.  Granted most
    suppliers have a deal on something but often their other things are
    no deal at all.  I can not speak for everyone on the list but I can
    not afford to throw money down a toilet.  To the guy looking for the
    Prestolite torch I am very certain that it was Arizonatools that had
    it (past tense) for $100. The bottom line is that it pays to shop
    around and if you have time to watch the idiot box you have time to
    look into these things unless you are in a position where money is no
    object and you are insulated from the world the rest of us must deal
    with, in which case I doubt you would make things. As for the guy
    looking for the Prestolite torch why not save a few dollars, I am
    sure with Christmas coming up you can find a use for that money you
    otherwise would not have.  On this we are talking about the same thing, 
    no difference other than price.
