SC960 - Miller Smith Gas Axe 6-Foot Heavy Duty Scrap Torch, 180-Degree Head

Smith Gas Axe SC960: The Ultimate 6-Foot Demolition Torch

When the job involves cutting through feet of steel in a scrap yard or bringing down a structure, you need a torch that lives up to its name. The Miller Smith SC960 "Gas Axe" is that tool. Designed for the brutal realities of salvage and demolition, this 6-foot (72-inch) straight cutting torch puts distance between you and the heat, sparks, and falling debris, allowing you to work safer and more comfortably. With a massive cutting capacity of up to 24 inches using acetylene, this torch doesn't just cut metal; it dominates it.

Versatility is at the heart of the Gas Axe design. Whether your shop runs on Acetylene, Propane, Natural Gas, or Propylene, the SC960 is ready to perform. It works seamlessly with all fuel gases—simply match the appropriate Smith SC Series tip to your fuel source. The torch features a reversible cutting lever, allowing you to mount the trigger on the top or bottom of the handle based on your grip preference or the specific angle of the cut. This ergonomic flexibility helps reduce operator fatigue during long shifts in the yard.

Durability is non-negotiable in heavy industry, and the SC960 is built like a tank. The head is forged from heavy-duty manganese bronze to resist warping, while the three stainless steel tubes provide structural rigidity and high gas flow. The "Ease-On" oxygen control is a favorite among professionals, providing buttery-smooth starts that reduce tip clogging and messy piercing. Forget about hunting for a wrench to change tips; the slip-in Graf-Tite tips can be tightened by hand and seal perfectly every time. If you are looking for a torch that can handle the thickest steel and the roughest treatment, the Smith SC960 Gas Axe is the industry standard.
