9 Best Cutting Torch Kits of 2024

Victor dominates the sector with a wide range of torch kits to meet every application. This medium-duty set is suited to a metal thickness of 0.50 inches or 5 inches with an optional tip that can be purchased at extra cost. The tip included with the set is zero-rated.

The torch has an ergonomic handle to increase your comfort levels and prolong your usage. It also ensures that you control the torch better, which improves your accuracy. The handle has a flat side that sits easily between your thumb and finger to reduce slippage, something that older handles regularly did.

It even comes with a striker and a pair of protective welding goggles. Victor has priced this torch to appeal to the beginner and budget end of the market, although it isn’t the cheapest cutting torch available.

If you are looking for a torch set that tackles HVAC, this could be the one. This air-acetylene kit delivers high-heat, is super-fast and reduces brazing time, lowering the fuel costs. The other advantage of these types of torches is the ability to get into tight spots for minute detail work.

If you are repairing HVAC systems, this is a vital attribute. These torches specialize in industrial applications where copper is present, which is why it is ideal for HVAC. It features gauge guards, a cylinder wrench, and a 12 ft hose.

You can solder to a depth of 1.5 inches using a soft solder, and with silver, a thickness of 0.75 inches.

What sets this kit apart is the tote with wheels that carries two gas cylinders. It means that when you get to the job-site, you are ready to go. The set comes with all the quality components you would expect from Victor, including a 12 ft hose and a striker.

Having the tote makes the equipment slightly heavier, but keeping the gas bottles secure when you transport it is crucial, so the extra weight is worth it. The set also includes a gas regulator and an oxygen regulator, as well as check valves and goggles.

If you care about your work rate and want to get started the moment you reach your destination, this tote is the ideal tool for the task.

This Hobart is a medium-duty cutter torch. It is perfect for multiple processes, such as cutting and welding. It even runs on propane as long as you swap to propane tips. Hobart is a respected name in the cutting and welding industry, and their machines are a favorite of professionals and hobbyists alike.

This Hobart is suitable for several applications like farm machinery, cars, refrigeration, light fabrication and general repairs. It cuts up to 6 inches and welds to 0.50 inches, and the hose is an impressive 20 feet.

The set includes the striker, the hose, and the regulators, but it does have fewer tip adjustments, and there is no case to keep everything in one place.

This cutter could so easily have won the budget award; it’s that competitively priced. It retails at far less than most on the list. So, what does it have? It has high-capacity oxygen and acetylene regulators with a 2.5-inch diameter of the best performance.

It has a brass torch and brass valve body for maximum durability and performance, and the entire kit is constructed from either stainless steel or brass for longevity. It has deluxe, single-stage regulators with reverse flow valves, and it has a cutting capacity of 0.50 inches.

This is the perfect beginner’s cutting torch because it comes with everything you need to get started.

Now we get to the heavy-duty torch cutters. This Victor has a cutting depth of 0.75 inches using the standard tips, but if you purchase the optional extra tips, that thickness extends to 6 inches.

This kit has a 25 ft hose, so reaching your workpiece is easier, and it enables you to get into tighter spots without fear that you cannot reach. It comes with G350 regulators and a torch handle with built-in check valves.

The torch is slightly longer than the medium-duty cutter, and it produces more heat.

This kit is built from heavy-duty metal parts and comes complete with a hard-wearing carry case to keep all the bits safe. What makes this a stand-out torch cutter is the price. This cutter costs 5 times less than some featured on the list.

It comes with a torch with 3 welding attachments and 1 cutting attachment. It has a handle with valve knobs and a tip cleaner and igniter. What it lacks are gauges to show you the PSI and pressure of the oxygen and acetylene.

The lack of gauges makes this a tricky tool to learn with, which is why we awarded it the budget model rather than the best torch cutter for beginners.

This propane torch creates a flame temperature of 2,900 degrees Celsius, which is powerful enough to melt most metals. Cast iron has a melting point of 1,593 degrees Celsius, while stainless steel melts at 1450 degrees Celsius.

This torch cuts, welds, brazes and solders, and it even comes complete with the gas bottle racks to keep everything contained. It has an ergonomic handle to make it more comfortable to grip and use for longer periods, and it is compatible with MAPP, propane or with a mixture of the two.

This was almost the budget option, but it lost out to the ABN model. Still, for the money, this is a great investment.
