    Hi- I have an ordinary Acetylene/air set up.  I use the Smith torch
    handle and tips and love it/them.  For years I had a simple set of
    torch tips and handle I bought at a welding shop and they worked
    fine. But I definitely prefer my Smith torch tips/handle and am
    sorry that I didn't spring for them the first time around.  They are
    easy to attach and function so well. 

    And by the way - my torch handle never gets hots. I don't think I've
    ever heard of that - the tip gets hot but cools quickly when you
    turn the torch off, but never the handle.  I'd have it checked out.
