[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 2175967, member: 107976"] I would definitely use oxy-acetylene. It will heat up a localised area much quicker. Get the bolt handle up to temp quickly, bend then cool as quickly as possible but I would suggest not quench as you don't want to cause embrittlement. A propane torch would work but by the time the handle was up to working temperature, more heat will have transferred to the areas you don't want it to go. [/QUOTE]
