Beyond all expectations! The one lighter to rule them all! Its the one click above everyone else!
In all honesty, I must say from the beginning of this review, that this mini torch is by far the best torch I've ever used in my life! From the design, to the look, to the practical use, just pure genius of a product! (Let me explain bc that's a very strong claim on my part) I've been searching more than several years now with countless purchases and endless returns, that basically the majority of torches were faulty because of low quality pieces or not long lasting because low quality and or of copies of a brand that cut corners for the extra buck. I've even had some that I felt that they could be potentially really good products but in the end, they had cut corners in certain areas making the overall product a hazard in safety or longevity. When I received the torch I was surprised that it came in a plain black safety bubble envelope, inside the product wrapped and a simple manual, which I must add is the first to say for the user of a small torch not to use more than 15-20 seconds! This was vital and never read anywhere before on any other mini torch! I purchased a torch before that claimed was able to solder copper pipes! To solder copper plumbing pipes even for a high powered gas and large professional torch is about 1-2min. Way beyond what a mini torch is able to do. That product blew up in my hands after a min when I was trying to do some small pipes, n when I received a 2nd. It didn't blow up but everything melted when I set it down because of the high indirect heat! Also because it's top is all plastic with small pieces of metal that make up the product. This torch company seems to understand the majority of problems with these torches and made one unlike any other. This product has everything fixed solid. With the majority being cover by metal or all metal design for safety and overall performance. Everything from the handle itself throughout the body is metal. Even the copper that causes the spark is covered when it's passing through the center to up top, and is set permanently and exactly where it needs to be on top for maximum spark + ignition. Btw...every previous torch I had, had some sort of moveable copper ignition that eventually was faulty because it either became loose or was moved by accident causing the ignition not to work properly, such as being caught by a thread in your pocket and pulled away... The part of device that clicks, its button/slide you push that ignites the flame is flawless. Its very effortless of a push to have it fire up. The resistance or spring inside is so nice n smooth it's more like a glide. It fires up every time. The click noise itself is also super low sounding, super discreet.(not all care about this fact but this is the first I've heard ever, that isn't loud at all) The viewing capacity of it's reservoir is large +clear with it being viewable all around the product no matter what angle or view. The fuel tank is sealed very well. You can feel when you first fill up. That as you fill, the air is replaced as the fuel enters, you also feel the back pressure because even when your filling, even when its not fully full, it will stop taking in the fuel because the excess pressure in the capacity is pushing back more than the canister is in your hands, it takes a few pushes into the device to fully fill. You also can see the o-ring near the nipple of the canister for the seal Other torches just continue to fill somehow when you hold the butane in and then when it's full it spills all over but why??.unless it has a 2nd nipple to purge the air out it shouldn't do this at all! Air is actually mixing with the butane that's inserted because of a second opening somewhere making it a crappy overall fuel in the end because it's open somewhere during filling. hence why the other so called torches need to be refueled so much, yet unable to have a low flame.... If it's sealed entirely & correctly!! it shouldn't do this or be like that, The one thing that this torch also can do that no other torch ever could was the ability to have a low sound to it's flame. Most others sound like a jet is going by your ear, this one is smooth without the harsh sound of a jet, also in addition. The torch has the the ability to have a super low flame and still continues to stay lit. Others with their loud jet sound mostly can only work in the middle- high range, or some just in the middle-low. If the other torch adjusts for a low level their flame goes away and just continues to hiss it's fuel out. But! The low is essential for close contact of certain type jobs like computer boards or small electric device repairs. Being that the majority of the product is already complete and you must work around everything to fix one little piece maybe 2 or 1mm in size. The last thing I wanted to say is the design. Normally others have a closed center where the gas goes through a rubber small tube. Enclosed by a metal piece with cut out holes for the mix of gas n butane for the jet like product. Not at all like this one, it's fully open! Everything that is essential is enclosed by metal around each piece and the opening for the air is totally open! Giving a cool view like no other for the center! The top is also a great slim design,very much slim giving a nice oval total shape of the product that contours to the hand for a nice grip even when the device is a polished metal. (Sorry to write so much for mini torch, but I was to excited to find such a product and hopefully this is helpful to anyone out there looking like I was!) Overall this is the top of it's class in handheld mini torches! I must say it's not the biggest badass flame one can have, nor the longest flame for it being on. The design is flawless, everything has been made to near perfect without question. I feel this is a product that will be a long lasting one, if cared for properly. Stylish, beautiful design, a product in its own class, & compared to no one even close. I must say that with such a product should have a simple slim protection case to go with it for extra $ but that's just me. Im so happy I found this, it's really a diamond in the ruff. The price is very reasonable to it's design and perfection of performance. For whatever reason you use torches. This is the absolute only one you would ever need! (And I hope my last 2 hours of writing this on a small smartphone will impact your decision to add least give it a try, take it from me. You will not be disappointed at all! You have my word!)
