Blazer PT 4000 Pencil Butane Torch
These are tough and finger-safe! I had one last 2 years with heavy heavy usage! It's appreciated that fingers are nowhere near flames on this, unlike many other inferior products I've tried which get too hot to hold after a while or they just break.
The built-in stand is a must-have to keep furniture and house-hold safe while it's locked-on in use.
The easy bottom click is quiet and nearly effortless.
HINT: Just bounce the entire torch's bottom off the table-top and instantly it's lit up. That way you don't have to move your hand off the flame adjustment controls and on/off switch.
The flame control is stable and if gas refills are good quality gas (no $.99 cheapies!) and the device is properly bled beforehand (let it run all the way out first!!!) you will not have "bouncing flame" problems!
I'm buying my second one now and can't wait to receive it!

really loving this torch. i use it for basic silversmithing work. Love the ease and sharpness of the flame. Great for many other uses as well.

BalasHapusThis is an excellant lighter or focused mini-blowtorch for light soldering or welding, lighting candles, fireplace fires, charcoal fires etc, paricularly if windy. The focused mini-blowtorch ignights by pressing an ignighting button and stays on until turned off so it should be kept out of reach of children who might turn it on and drop it and start a fire or they could burn themselves. I love it.
BalasHapusThis quality item works best with Vector highly filtered butane. My prior one clogged from using other butane.
BalasHapusFirst of all, I can't believe they still make this. Second of all, I'm glad they still make this. I bought mine in college, 16 years ago. It's been used in camping trips to start fires it's been dropped off the dock into a lake and it still keeps working. Lately it's had a slow butane leak, but I can't think of much else that has taken that much abuse for that long and kept working. I'm here to buy another.
BalasHapusI use this to braze brass and it works as described. Haven't had any problems. Use blazer butane and you wont have any problems.
BalasHapusThis is the best pocket (micro) torch on the market. It does what it is said to do, unlike many of the other torches, Chinese types that will set your surroundings on fire with sudden 15" flames.
BalasHapusThe caveat is that you must use the proper fuel - high quality, pure, and highly filtered butane. I live at 7,000' and most BBQ type lighters don't work because of lower oxygen levels at higher elevations.
THEREFORE: It will perform if, and only if, you use high grade fuel. Don't blame the tool if it fails from poor, Walmart type butane.

I left this lighter outside in the dirt and rain, on a camping trip. Came back, wiped it off, and it still worked like a charm. I have nothing bad to say about it, as it is reliable and durable.
BalasHapusIf you buy this lighter however, purchase Vector butane for it. No other butane will suffice. It must be top quality
