The Smith The Little Torch is a precision oxy-fuel soldering and brazing torch designed for jewelers, metalsmiths, repair professionals, and craftspeople who work with small metal components. Its compact handle and interchangeable curved tips allow precise flame control, making it especially useful for delicate jewelry soldering, detailed fabrication, and intricate metalworking projects.
This Smith Little Torch kit includes five curved tips in sizes #3 through #7, an 8-foot twin-hose assembly, and standard B-type gas connections. The selection of tips allows jewelers to choose a suitable flame size for different soldering and brazing tasks, from fine detail work to applications requiring greater heat coverage.
Precision Flame Control for Jewelry Soldering
When soldering a small chain link, repairing a ring, or assembling delicate metal components, controlling where heat is applied is essential. The Little Torch is designed to produce a concentrated, adjustable flame that allows the operator to direct heat toward the intended soldering area.
Its lightweight, narrow torch handle is well suited to detailed bench work where a larger torch may be difficult to position accurately.
Common applications include:
- Ring repair: Solder ring shanks, joints, and compatible metal components during jewelry repairs.
- Chain and bracelet repair: Work on small links, clasps, and connecting elements.
- Jewelry fabrication: Join metal components when constructing earrings, pendants, rings, and custom jewelry.
- Fine metal soldering: Perform controlled soldering operations on small gold, silver, and other compatible metal parts.
- Precision brazing: Join suitable small metal components using appropriate brazing materials and procedures.
- Craft and metal sculpture: Carry out detailed heating and joining operations on miniature metalwork.
Five Interchangeable Curved Torch Tips
The Smith Little Torch comes with five curved tips, numbered #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7. These interchangeable tips provide different flame characteristics, allowing jewelers to select an appropriate heating pattern for the task and material.
Smaller tips are useful for concentrated heating of fine components, while larger tips provide increased heating capacity for appropriately sized workpieces. Actual flame characteristics and heat output depend on the tip, fuel gas, regulator settings, and operating conditions.
The curved tip design also makes it easier to position the flame around certain jewelry components and restricted work areas.
Compatible Fuel Gases and Connections
The Smith Little Torch is designed for use with oxygen and a compatible fuel gas. According to the manufacturer, the Little Torch system can be used with acetylene, hydrogen, propane, propylene, or natural gas when connected to the appropriate gas supply equipment.
The included 8-foot hoses feature standard B-type connections:
- Oxygen connection: 9/16"-18 right-hand thread (RH).
- Fuel gas connection: 9/16"-18 left-hand thread (LH).
- Hose length: 8 ft (approximately 2.44 m).
Fuel and oxygen regulators, cylinders, and required protective gas-handling components must be selected for the intended fuel type and installation. They are not listed as part of this basic torch kit. Always verify fitting compatibility and follow the manufacturer's setup requirements before use.

Safe Operation and Jewelry Soldering Considerations
Oxy-fuel soldering equipment must be operated with properly matched regulators, hoses, connections, and appropriate reverse-flow protection. Follow the Smith Equipment instructions for the chosen gas, tip size, and operating conditions.
Use the torch in a suitably ventilated work area with appropriate eye protection and fire-safe working surfaces. Inspect gas connections before operation and keep combustible materials away from the soldering station.
When repairing gemstone jewelry, consider the sensitivity of stones, treatments, adhesives, and settings before applying heat. Some gemstones and assembled components can be permanently damaged by soldering temperatures and may need to be removed or otherwise protected before work begins.
Accessories for Your Jewelry Soldering Bench
Keep your torch organized between soldering operations with a Magnetic Jewelers Torch Stand, designed to hold the Little Torch and store additional tips.
For maintenance and replacement needs, SEP Tools also offers a Smith Little Torch 8-Foot Replacement Hose Set with oxygen and fuel hoses.
Whether you're performing routine jewelry repairs or building detailed metal components from scratch, Smith The Little Torch provides the compact design, interchangeable tips, and flame control needed for precision soldering and small-part brazing.
