HD clearance- (2) Mapp gas w/trigger

[James Mudler]

My Home Depot has (2) Mapp gas tanks with the push button trigger igniter on clearance for $10. They were $50. I found them by the welders.

Research fuel availability before buying.
I am not expert on this topic, but have the following from a discussion in a welding class, reinforced by a cursory web search.
MAPP production will shortly stop (might have stopped already). Petromont is/was the North American producer. Worthington Cylinder was a big distributor.
There are alternative fuels (Worthington has announced it is distributing one), but the hitch is whether MAPP equipment will be optimal for it.
So...this could be a raging good deal, or it might be a dud. Depends on the fuel issue.

For $10 for two, seems like this is sort of disposable technology...

Some of the small torches run either MAPP, or propane. I have one of these torches from ACE that runs propane. I'm on my third free replacement one. IF I bought it under the Bernz O Matic Brand, I would only have gotten a one year gaurantee

as suggested this kit is disposable. Here is a link for a better explanation.

I use the kit for sweating copper pipes.
