I've been meaning to buy a blow torch for ages and never got around to it. I'm after recommendations. I have joint problems so it has to be easy to use. I'm happy to pay a bit more to get a good one.

I've never owned one before so I'm curious how you buy the gas to refill them.

I've had a Typhoon blowtorch for several years and it's always worked very well for me. It's light in my hand and the flame is fully adjustable. It seems that the Typhoon brand is now Avanti, and the link below shows exactly the same model that I have, except mine's in baby blue. I refill it from a can of butane gas, available from hardware shops.
