Congratulations, you’re another step closer to making an informed purchase on the torch of your dreams. At this point, it’s time to start looking at lampworking torch manufacturers since you’ve already narrowed down your style of torch and whether or not to buy new or used. Our goal in this part of the series is to help you find a reputable source who will offer you the best long-term relationship (we’re talking warranties and customer service), not necessarily the best deal.
They say: “Buy a torch from the same place you get your glass. That way you’ll get the best deal.”
We couldn’t agree more! While this is good advice, it’s important to remember you cannot rely on a glass tool supplier to provide torch-specific trouble-shooting info or torch repair services. That is why it is just as important to choose a reputable torch manufacturer as it is to get the best deal through a glass tool supplier.
Lampworking is a very small industry, which means only a handful of people are qualified to properly service torches, and even fewer technicians have access to specialized repair equipment. With so few torch technicians and so little equipment available, repairs can be time-consuming and very costly.
That is unless the torch manufacturer provides these services.
Bethlehem Burners says: “Purchase a torch manufactured by a company with the best customer service reputation.”
If something happens to your torch, you need it fixed right away and at a reasonable price.
