#2 Gorb - that's a bit too much, unless you use it to heat up the branding irons. I much prefer 00 gauge snagging hooks, an old crank telephone or similar device (a cattle prod works nice), raw leather, a rubber mallet, an awl, a few files, a screwdriver or two, a pair of vice-grip pliers, and some resin-filled pine splinters. One of the Koreans that taught me a few things would also be helpful - they've had practice.

#3 Old Patriot, I have a solid copper soldering tip that fits on the propane torch nozzle, it makes a supreme branding tool.(Picked it up once when it wasn't as cool as I thought)
