Bernzomatic ST900D - Nice throw away tool
Short version: The 3 tips provided last a maximum of 10 hours use and must be replaced. They are not sold individually, You must buy a "kit" with all 3 tips ($15 each). The kits are not sold most places that sell the torch. This is a throwaway tool that is not likely to last the 30 hours that your propane tank does....

Longer version:
This is my second Bernzomatic solder tool. The other was a small butane model whose filler receptacle failed. Sadly, Bernzomatic does nat provide any repair or replacement parts for this. So, when I saw the ST900D, I was not too sure about another Bernzomatic. But, given the features, the use of a user supplied propane take and interchangeable tips, I decided to go for it. When I got my torch from Amazon, I read the instruction booklet. I was surprised to see that the tips were stated to have a catalytic element that under optimal condition may last as much as 10 hours use. Since, they make a big deal about it going 30 hours on a single tank of gas, you might think it would be mentioned that your tips won't last that long. I assumed that I could buy a box of the solder tips... but no. The tips are only sold as a kit and that is if you can find it. The is no mention of any of this on the Bernzomatic website. I get the sense that Bernzomatic doesn't actually have any interest in supporting their products. Buy it, use it a few times, throw it away and buy another one. I will be looking for another supplier and may well send the ST900D back to Amazon.

BERNZOMATIC ST900D 019527 Mini Torch
This is a great all-around torch for the money. This model is used by most of the students in my jewelry class and is more than sufficient for most soldering projects. The Mini Torch is very cost efficient to operate - just uses 1 disposable bottle of propane versus the more expensive precision torches that require both oxygen and one other form of fuel. After purchasing one of these torches for myself, I picked up 2 more for classmates.

Dependable product
After using this torch in a classroom environment for several months I decided to purchase one. The big plus is, of course, having the portability of using a small propane camping canister with it. It seems the perfect setup for my small scale efforts. I have absolutely no complaints about this torch and am pleased to now have one of my own. Amazon's shipping time on this was terrific as well. Thanks
