We call them cutting torches here too.The hoses on mine were so old and
rotten I threw them away.I can rent an oxycetelyne cutting torch rig,
but I hate to rent anything.

We just now got a nice shower/rain here, that lets out using my electric
grinder.So, I sat on the red cedar bench seat on my front porch and
trimmed my toenails with my wire side cutters.That beautiful divorced
gal next door stepped out to her van for something.She almost tripped
over their lawnmower in there driveway.I says, Watch out there skid row!
