Can I have a go if you get one, they look like fun  :D

They are by far the easiest way to set light to the sound deadening foam in the back of an old Jag..

Don't ask how I know.. ;D I blame Stuart..

 ;D ;D Yes, next I'll try seeing if I can set light to things with my new welder ;)

Definitely the quickest way to dismantle a car short of a gas axe, though!

They're not as good for that as you think. Performance drop once you try cutting double-skinned panels, or flanges.

The best thing for cutting up a car is a big disc cutter, which will rip through all the awkward areas in no time. I used to be able to cut a stripped Capri into manageable chunks in 15 minutes.

Have fun and remember to make sure you connect the ground connection before you pull the trigger or the pilot arc can give you a bit of a belt  ;D :D

Suspect full mask gives better protection, whilst goggles offer greater flexibility :-\

You can't be a mad scientist the master wearing a full mask.  That's just creepy ;D
