O2 Sensors..... Torch it?

I have the set in my car, they dont look like they are in bad shape. I also have a used set that came with some manifolds I bought. I then purchased a brand new set. Can I just use a torch on one of the used sets or is it better to just use the new ones. How effective is the torching? Should I return the O2's and use the money somewhere else.
 
Torching is supposed to clean them. Up to you as to returning them or not. Usually what takes them out coolant blowing out the exhaust from a head gasket failure. But even that can be cleaned as its really just clogging them up.
BTW, a propane torch is supposed to work fine.. but here's a hint: If you have a gas stove, you're probably burning natural gas. The flame tip will work just as well. ;) ;)

I have a old set which is perfectly fine for sale if anyone is interested.
