New Broco cutter

Post by Diver_Dave »

Going to try out my new torch this week a barge sank and rolled over upside down and they need a diver to go down and cut the 4 boom chains holding the barge to the piles... 10,000 degrees :nutty:

I'll give you a dollar if you use your tongue instead of the strike plate. It's only 12 volts.... :smt064

BTW, why did you post this in the "Recreational" Education section? :penelope:

actually it only takes a 12 volt battery to start the flame and then no power is required. It is a pretty cool toy and one that Dave plans on using to make the Prop from the Rush arrive into his front yard. So Dave N you better talk to Dave S about borrowing it before he gets the wheel that you have wanted for a long time.

I wish we had a Tim "The Toolman" Taylor man grunt smiley. Underwater torches are way cool. Hopefully Dave can make a few bucks with it too.
