If you are talking about the Bernomatic propane torches from a
hardware store, I wouldn't recommend it. My first "cheap torch"
was the Bernomatic propane and oxygen setup and I couldn't solder
a dang thing with it! I think the flame was too dirty to use.
As if soldering wasn't frustrating enough. So I went back to
what I learned on: acetylene. After $99 for the Smith
acetylene/air torch kit and $75 (refundable deposit) for the
acetylene tank, it only costs about $15 to refill, which after a
year of use I am still only half way through the tank.
For a "cheap flex shaft", I like the Dremel that comes with a
flex shaft attachment. Not as powerful as a Foredom, but I've
never had a project where that was a problem.
Good luck to you, Cindi :)
