The brazing gun is composed of a commercially available hot-air hand-operated appliance (10) and in addition a gas part and a torch part. The torch part essentially consists of a torch tube (30) which can be slipped with a socket (33) onto a cylindrical outflow passage (16) of the hot-air appliance. A gas fitting (20) is attached parallel to the axis to a centre part (14) of the hot-air appliance. A gas line (24) leads to a nozzle tube (26) which can be inserted radially into a chamber (34) at the entrance of the torch tube and can be fixed in this position. <IMAGE>
