"Jiminy Cricket!"

I've been hemming and hawning about buying one of these little guys for quite a while. At $139 I just couldn't resist any longer. It's a Cricket, the smallest and newest torch in the line of torches offered by Glass Torch Technologies. This little guy should allow me a wide variation of heat options depending on my settings - ultimately enabling me to step up to small borosilicate beads with no problem. I can't wait to try it out.

If you've had any experiece with a cricket, please leave a comment!
