have any of you guys used these little things? the reason i ask is i was wondering how long they last before you run out of gas. i think that these little set-ups would make pulling springs out of a vehicle in a wrecker a lot easier.

in other words will it cut 2 cuts on each of the 4 u-bolts and the front and rear leaf hangers?

If your quick, they last for about 5 mins

I have one of them. They last about 15-20minutes. The one I have is faulty with the knobs. The setting is either on or off, very hard to get a precise control for the flame.

CT wont warranty it saying it has been used already. Well DUH, I had to hook the bottles up and get a flame going to see if it worked ok.

Propane bottles should be cheaper than the other gas (map?) but wont burn as hot.
