You can't have just one 3-link coupling hook, a spare is essential for when you lose or break the first at a show. Hence, I'm converting a smaller torch than yesterday's to do the job.
For both, a wire has to be attached, with a hook on the end, the torch body. Firmly.
Both torches are made of an unsolderable alloy, so it's down to epoxy glue, but I want to do a neat job and that's not easy with this stuff.
Unless you have a Tamya paint stirer to hand. Dip this in the glue and dabbing neat fillets in the wire/toch body interface, is easy.
Glue can be scraped off the paint paddle once it has dried and the thing is as good as new.

Some 49 odd years ago Studiolith market such a torch with a small cylindrical magnet at the sharp end of the wire. This avoided getting a small hook into the link during operation.
Just a thought - last link obviously need to be magnetic
I've got some magnetic links, but not a pole yet. Something for the future.
