Smith Gas Axe 36-Inch Extra Heavy-Duty Cutting Torch, 90-Degree Head

Dominate Demolition Jobs with the Smith Gas Axe SC939

When the job calls for cutting through massive steel structures, scrap piles, or heavy machinery, the Smith Gas Axe™ SC939 Extra Heavy-Duty Hand Cutting Torch is the tool you need in your arsenal. Built to handle the most punishing tasks in the industry, this 36-inch torch is a favorite among scrapyards, demolition crews, and heavy fabricators. With the ability to slice through steel up to 24 inches thick using acetylene (or 20 inches with propane), the Gas Axe lives up to its name, chopping down heavy metal with ease.

Safety and Durability You Can Trust

Safety is paramount when working with oxy-fuel equipment, and the SC939 is engineered to protect the operator. The torch features a three-tube design that isolates gases until they reach the tip. This in-tip mixing technology minimizes the volume of mixed gas, drastically reducing the potential for flashbacks and ensuring that a flashback in the tip does not travel back through the torch tubes. The head of the torch is forged from manganese bronze, a super-tough alloy that resists warping even when subjected to the intense reflected heat of deep cuts. This means your torch stays straight and true, job after job.

Designed for the Professional Cutter

Comfort equals productivity, especially on long shifts. The Smith SC939 features a heavy-duty, raised-rib brass handle that provides a solid, non-slip grip while dissipating heat. The cutting lever is fully reversible, allowing you to switch between top-mount or bottom-mount configurations to suit your hand size or specific cutting angle. The Ease-On oxygen valve gives you total control over the cutting stream, allowing you to feather the oxygen for smooth piercing without the violent slag blow-back associated with standard valves.

Quick-Change Tips and Multi-Fuel Versatility

Forget fumbling with wrenches to change a tip. The SC939 uses Smith's legendary SC Series slip-in tips with Graf-Tite soft seats. These tips seal perfectly by hand, resist damage from drops, and last longer than metal-to-metal seat designs. Whether your shop runs on acetylene, propane, natural gas, or propylene, the Gas Axe is ready to work—just grab the matching tip and go.
