My torch is driving my crazy, well not sure if its the torch or the regulators. You'll get the flame set and then it keeps changing, constantly needs adjustment which is hard/impossible to do when you're concentrating on the braze. Just messed a silver solder job and I've it with this POS.
It was bought probably 45 years ago as a kit, and probably because it was cheap cause I was poor, er, poorer. My thought is that's the problem, cheap crap. It's Uniweld so I go looking online looking for something better ..... wait a sec, Uniweld doesn't look like cheap crap! It's kind of expensive.
The branding is slightly weird .... did Uniweld once have a cheap crap entry line? Embarrassed at how dirty they, the regs are clearly Uniweld.
On the torch though these is sticker that says uniweld
No Uniweld logo but there is this cast in shark logo. I internet doesn't think Uniweld ever used a shark logo
If it was the full Uniweld brand, why a sticker, why a shark, why not Uniweld logo? Someone on a welding forum mention Uniweld was a knock of Victor, so do I have a the cheap crappy knock off of a cheap crappy knock off?
Bottom line, is the quality of my torch and regulator the problem and if so what should be looking for?
thanks
