Can you take the $20 and buy a real hose for it or must you turn it in for destruction/shipping to 3rd world countries?

awww dang it!!! I love my torch!
First time I used it, I thought to myself, "self - how bad would that suck if you accidently hit the hose with the flame from this beast???" After running the scenario through my mind, I decided maybe I shouldn't use it unsupervised. lol

Meh.. not as bad as you think.
We used to regularly set fire to dual 40lb tank rigs to test hoses/regulators and where they were placed on the catering grills.
You get some flame, and possibly a flapping hose, and that's about it.
You won't blow yourself up or anything.

Now that is a picture:
A flaming flapping hose whipping around the shop.
No Thanks
I have seen an air hose break at the nozzel and whip around the shop.
Sure cleans the floor up.
Hummmm might be an invention there.
A bunch of air hoses with no ends on them laying around.
Want a quick clean up of the shop?
Open the air valve full blast and run!
Muhahahahaha..........

yeah, but your air pressure hose is running at a _much_ higher PSI than the propane should be.
