CAN-DO ATTITUDE

It can be quite a disaster if a roof rack or another important part made of aluminium breaks when you’re in the middle of nowhere. You used to have to hold thumbs that the backyard mechanic in Maun had the right equipment to weld aluminium. But now you can rest assured: This portable brazing torch and bottle contains a methylene and propane mixture (or MAPP gas) that burns at a scorching 1 980 °C – definitely hot enough to solder aluminium. Price R445 for the gas bottle torch (welding rods excluded). Contact 0861 233 636; adendorf.co.za >
