Blue point torch

[silverscottsk10]

Dad just got a sweet deal on a torch with two industrial tanks for 150$
The problems,short hose making it difficult to reach the whole shop floor and the torch head just stopped working last night
Will hold the flame but lever won't work
I got 50' hoses and a new head today
Now when I use the torch trying to set it up it pops in a steady rhythm
But as long as the lever is depressed it stops
I've used many torches but I'm not sure what's going on here
And can I send the blue point head in and get it rebuilt?

hmm, I wouldn't even know how to deal with this. Maybe see if you can find a Snap On rep online somewhere. Either a forum or FB page. Maybe they'll have a suggestion.

Sounds like a similar problem I had, turned out it was missing a small o ring where the head screws onto the mixer valve. It ended up blowing up in my hand tryingn to troubleshoot it...be careful...

I'll look for the o rings
