I bought the Hot Devil Super Oxy kit and after barely 15 minutes of use, brazing two 1/4" pipes, ran out of oxygen just prior to finishing the second. This was a really small job and if I have to pay $30 for oxygen every time I do a small job like this, I think I'll cut my losses and just bin it instead.
It's a shame, because the unit is really nice to use, lights easily and is pretty good on the controls too. This is the only reason I gave it an extra star.

I bought this from Sprint Auto to do a small braise welding job, 2 oxygen cylinders later I’m still not finished, (and I do know how to weld!) It says on the box you can oxy cut, no way is there enough oxygen in that bottle to do any cutting let alone welding, just terrible, and forget about flame control, which is very important when dealing with a hazardous application like gas welding. I went back to Sprint Auto and the owner said “yer everyone complains about that”, why are they still selling them!

I seem to have had the experience that hot devil has suggested I recieve. The flame has very little control at the valve and it takes too long to get a stable flame. By the time you achieve that you have expended the meager oxy supply. May be useful if you need to tack braze a single point. Having recieved this as a birthday present it still is not worth the money I spent on it.

Don't take the bottle of oxygen SUBA diving or you will drowned! By the time I got used to lighting it (not easy) I got about 10 mins of oxy time then it ran out. A very handy product but come on guys. You pay $100 for the unit then $30-$40 every 10 mins, what a joke. I thought I was going to save me but now it is going to cost me. Not happy

I endorse all the other comments; Very Poor Value control wastes a lot of the gas, Cylinders don't have enough capacity to do a small job on thin material.
Cylinders can't be refilled, great for the environment.

Use it for the first time and the oxygen ran in approx 4 minutes. Very disappointing as was halfway through a small repair.Oxygen replacement bottle is very expensive for the amount.

Couldn't get any oxy through. Took it back to Sydney tools. 2 weeks later they decided to replace it. Another week to get it in. 3 minutes of oxy and empty. How can selling this garbage be legal?

I wish I had read the reviews to. I payed $250 from super cheap. Paid another $40 for rods and flux did a couple of welds and ran out of oxygen. Now I have to travel 100km to get a replacement that will have the same problem. Cheers little devil

Bought this Hot Devil oxy kit from SuperCheap yesterday $129.99.
Should have read revues first as this is certainly a ripoff when it comes to the tiny amount of oxygen supplied. It only lasted 5 minutes enough to bronze a 6mm s/s nut to 12mm s/s nut.
I am not very impressed given that the instructions on the box say that it should last 20 minutes.
I will try and contact Hot Devil for an explanation.

I bought one of these ro supercheap the fancy one with gauges and all thought it would suit my needs but was very annoyed after doing one job (brazing one fitting into each end of a pipe) that the oxy bottle had run out. A replacement was $48.00 nz about a third of the cost of the whole thing now i am stuck with this piece of sxxt

got this today from supercheap $149.99 on sale got it home first kit had an empty o2 bottle got a replacement kit then got it home fired it up and was lucky to get 5 min of oxy after running back and forwards to the store i am stuck with a crappy over priced tool now i need to fork out another $30 for what appears to be a fart in a bottle worth of gas would not have bought this if i had read the reviews this is overpriced useless and not worth a look at

I purchased my kit for $99 on special. The first bottle of oxygen did about 10 to 12 small silver solder jobs before it ran out. I thought I'd just picked up a faulty bottle so I didn't worry too much. I bought a new bottle and found myself stuck in the middle of a tricky job with no oxygen after about 10 minutes of use.
I was warned that the hot devil kits were not good value even at the special price but surely you can expect more than 10 minutes of oxygen for a $25 layout. A total waste of money it seems not to mention a huge inconvenience and hold up with the job.

Works ok but you get gouged big time on the oxygen bottle. Has a tiny amount of oxygen 40g in a 1000ml bottle. Lasted 10 minutes then had to buy another for $30. Pay more for a better one and it will pay for itself as others oxygen is much much much cheaper. DYOR.

Original oxygen bottle lasted no more than five minutes, I thought great they havent filled it. So I purchase a new bottle and the same thing, no more than five minutes of oxygen.
Now I am stuck with an oxy set but can't afford to purchase any more oxygen.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

The torch itself if looks well made and is convenient but the oxygen only lasts a few minutes. I barely finished a single small job. Compare the weight of the oppositions cylinders and you will see they are much heavier.

No good at all can't get a propper flame started let alone do any type of cutting or welding no real help in instructions either My kids bought for my birthday what a waste of money will be bringing it back hopefully the kids have kept receipt not happy at all.
