Description

Jawas used a compact welder to attach a restraining bolt to R2-D2, and Luke Skywalker later used an identical tool to reattach C-3PO's left arm after it was torn off by sand people.   The actual found item was one of these small brazing torches by Microflame Inc. Although similar microtorches have been available from other manufacturers, they are generally incorrect in various ways, such as the shape of the base.
