Smith Gas Axe 6-Foot Extra Heavy Duty Scrap and Demolition Torch

Dominate Demolition with the Smith Gas Axe SC969

When the job calls for cutting through massive steel structures, scrap piles, or foundry risers, the Smith SC969 Gas Axe™ is the tool you want in your hands. This extra-heavy-duty cutting torch is legendary in the industry for a reason: it combines brute strength with operator-focused features that make tough jobs manageable. With a 6-foot (72-inch) length, this torch keeps you at a safe and comfortable distance from the intense heat of the cut, a crucial safety factor when slicing through materials up to 24 inches thick.

Built for Comfort and Control
Despite its heavy-duty capabilities, the SC969 is designed to reduce operator fatigue. It features a thick, durable brass handle with raised ribs that provide a positive, non-slip grip even when wearing heavy welding gloves. One of the standout features is the reversible cutting lever. Whether you prefer the lever on top or the bottom, you can adjust the torch to fit your personal cutting style or the specific requirements of the job, ensuring ergonomic comfort during long shifts.

Smoother Cuts, Less Cleanup
Starting a cut on thick steel can be tricky, but the SC969 makes it easier with its "Ease-On" cutting oxygen valve. This feature allows for an exceptionally smooth application of cutting oxygen, preventing the sudden surge that often causes key-holing or slag blow-back. The result is a cleaner start, better control throughout the cut, and less time spent grinding or cleaning up slag afterwards. The stainless steel ball-style valves also make fine-tuning your preheat flame smooth and precise.

Versatile and Reliable
Whether your shop runs on acetylene, propane, natural gas, or propylene, the Gas Axe is ready to work. It is compatible with all SC Series cutting tips, which feature the innovative slip-in design. You can change tips in seconds without hunting for a wrench—just hand-tighten and go. The soft Graf-Tite seats ensure a leak-proof seal every time, saving you money on replacement tips and keeping your operation running smoothly. Backed by a one-year warranty and American manufacturing quality, the SC969 is the reliable partner you need for severe-duty cutting.
