EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. — LENOX, a leading manufacturer of premium power
tool accessories, hand tools and band saw blades, today introduced a new
line of hand and swivel torches for professionals. Each of the six
torches in the line provides maximum targeted heat output that
outperforms the market by as much as 35 percent. In addition, each
features a unique construction that offers greater durability than
competitive products.
LENOX Hand Torches
LENOX hand torches accommodate both MAPP® and propane fuel and feature
maximum targeted heat output through swirl, adjustable ultra swirl and
large diameter flames. In other words, the torches burn fuel faster,
getting the job done quickly while using less fuel. Targeted, adjustable
heat makes the torches ideal for concentrated applications such as
brazing and sweating. Internal testing has shown that the LENOX LT92
hand torch can solder ¾ inches copper tubing up to four seconds faster
than the competition. What’s more, a MAPP cylinder in a LENOX LT92 hand
torch can solder approximately 50 more joints in the same copper tubing
than it can when used in a leading competitive brand.
A unique cast aluminum construction grants the LENOX hand torches
unsurpassed durability and greater protection from drops at extreme
heights when compared to typical plastic torch housings. Self-igniting
trigger start and lock buttons allow the LENOX hand torches to burn
continuously, and piston regulation makes the torch burn properly when
turned in all directions — features that provide users with more
convenience, accuracy and longer tool life.
LENOX Swivel Torches
For users who work in tight spots and need greater accessibility, LENOX
offers two models of swivel torches, each which rotate 360 degrees to
perform in even confined or awkward spaces. Like the hand torches, LENOX
swivel torches offer targeted and adjustable heat output through an
adjustable swirl flame for maximum heat transfer, burning faster and
longer using less fuel. Independent third party testing has demonstrated
that the LENOX LS20 swivel torch provides 18 percent more heat transfer
than the leading competitor. What’s more, a MAPP cylinder runs 35
percent longer in a LENOX LS20 swivel torch than the leading competitive
brand.
LENOX swivel torches are made of extremely durable solid brass. The
LS20 features a self-igniting trigger start, and both have a heavy-duty
trigger for added durability and convenience.
“These new high-quality torches are built for the professional and are
unmatched in their design, durability and fuel efficiency,” said Bob
Heisner, vice president of marketing at LENOX. “The unique design and
value-added features are a result of customer input, feedback and
testing in real-life scenarios. It’s how LENOX ensures that its products
not only perform better, but make the professional user perform better
on the job.”
LENOX hand and swivel torches use 14.1 ounce MAPP and 16 ounce propane
cylinders. All LENOX torches, assemblies and kits can be purchased at
plumbing supply houses and national dealers and distributors.
