These are great items. The flame is robust and gets a fire going in my wood stove quick, unlike the old lighter or matches, it supplies enough flame to get heavy paper and kindling burning quickly . It's also great for lighting my gas grill when the igniter fails. They're cool looking and small enough to put in your pocket (just make sure the starter trigger is locked) easy to refill with butane refill containers, and is easy to grip and ignite. I haven't tried soldering with it , but it looks like the flame is hot enough to do that as well. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a reliable and fast way to start fires in the home or for camping/outdoors/survival uses. Read more
Works well right out of the box. Strong flame and adjustable. Capacity seems to be smaller than my previous lighter. Hope the long term reliability is there. Read more
Only tried a bit but seems to work well and is a safe choice as it doesn't lock on. Appear to be decent quality, and the price is right! Read more
These are surprisingly high quality, I like the aluminum bodies and controls. They seem to be well designed and manufactured. The striker seems to work very consistantly. Read more
I bought these to use with small scale wood burning and general utility work. They are sturdily made and don’t feel cheap like a lot of torch lighters at this price point. They don’t hold a lot of butane, so they need to be refilled more often than other torches I’ve seen. That being said, for my use they are ideal. I’ve never had to refill in the middle of a project. I just top it off before I start and I’m good to go. The trigger mechanism is easy to use and lights the flame on the first try most the time. I’ve never had to strike it more than twice to get a flame. The flame adjuster works pretty well. I typically keep it about half way and it works for me. Full flame is fairly long and over kill for anything I’ve needed to do. Overall I think that for the price, it is an outstanding torch lighter. For occasional use I highly recommend this product. If you are looking for something for more extended use at a time, I suggest a blow torch (you can get one from any hardware store) as this torch is not meant for long term continuous use. Read more
Works as it should but the ignition slide is counter intuitive. It deploys in the wrong direction Read more
I own seven torches. I generally prefer finger triggers over thumb triggers. But in spite of this, these are still my favorite. The blue part of the flame adjust from nothing, to 4 inches. This torch throws a flame far enough to lite my grill burners through the Steel Grid Grates. They have a quality feel. adjust and lite easily, and they look bad-ass. They were bought to lite a pipe. But because I'm able to use it as a flame thrower to lite the grill, this torch now has a second job. When used often as a 4 inch flame thrower, I'm sure it will go threw fuel accordingly fast. But when used moderately for both jobs, I refill the tank every two months, and it has never ran dry. Read more
I bought these about a year ago if I remember correctly and I am not one to complain, easy to please. These ROCKED when I got them. (Ok, kind of wonky to fill) but when I used them…LOVED them. Filled all 3, thinking I’ve got years of use here and they’re cool too. I just took one out, needing to “seal” mis-sized shoe laces (Cole Haan Zero Grand does NOT take 54”….more like 48” no matter what ChatGPT or whoever told me). Clicked the first one. NOTHING. Ok, fine. Second one- nope. Third one…yep, you guessed it. Doesn’t work. If you want something that’ll work immediately and probably leaks over time, and doesn’t work…particularly bad if this is the ONLY lighter you’re relying on, FORGET IT. Move on. These leak, there’s NO other viable explanation as to how they go from FULL to NOTHING with zero use in almost a year. Buy the tried and true stick lighters- at least they don’t leak. I’m incredibly disappointed and thinking of buying fillers because guess what? I used all of them when I filled the first time but why should I? How long will they even last? A week? A month? Six? Who knows, but they will NOT work if you rely on them for your needs and God help you if you’ve lost power and this is your source for lighting a stove or something. It will NOT work. I just pray nobody found out the hard way in a life threatening situation. I know nothing about these things but nobody should be selling them if they leak AT ALL. I wouldn’t write this except ALL THREE are completely empty. And I have NOT used them…at all, outside of the first week or two and even then…maybe twice, to quickly light a grill or something. Do better. I’d share a video but all it would show is …”click”….NOTHING. Three times in a row. They look great. They’re terrible and I wanted them to work. Badly. Read more
