Does what it says on the tin for a good price
Great quality blowtorch head along with bitane canisters. The auto ignite makes it simple and easy to light the flame and the flame is hot enough to melt anything from aluminium to tin! The head consists of a plastic mechanism with a metal housing for the flame part. And being that i have used it for a good length of time now i see no damage except for obvious heat marks on the metal extruder. It works very well with welding so well that you can barely get the solder close enough before it melts. Eqch canister, being that they are designed for camping stoves, last for eons of time. All in all for this price you cant go wrong, youll have a powerful butane torch (which doesn't compete with oxyceteline) but will fufil all your needs with ease. Highly reccommend!Read full review

Cheap and Chinese, but it works (sort of)
It works and it was very cheap, but that's all there is that is good about it. The label states that it is for kitchen use only, but it flares so badly (even when warm) that it is far too dangerous for indoor use. The flame is too soft for plumbing use, so lighting bonfires is about all it would be good for. I bought a number of different Chinese torches and they are all about the same, so this is no worse than the others. They are all very crudely made from diecast aluminium parts - hence the low price. I like the gas can fitting because it doesn't leak when fitting like the EU 7/16 type does. If you want a kitchen torch, the smaller ones with integral gas tanks in the handle are better because they don't flare, and if you want a plumbers torch the expensive all brass ones are far better.Read full review

This Will Outlast Me
I bought my blow torch for the kitchen and I was amazed how powerful it is. I hardly needed it turned on at all for my needs. It has also lit first time every time so far. The only concern I have is that someone could leave the head on a canister when storing the torch. I honestly think, without being over dramatic, this could be a fire risk if the gas isn’t turned fully off or the head is knocked causing a leak and then a spark off the head and then you have said fire. Fortunately it only takes a second to take the head off.Read full review

Good torch but hard to get low flame
Fits gas canister well and easy to fit. Ignitor works great. Good strong flame. Control is not really so good a part. It is a little stiff and quite hard to get to a small flame, it goes out too easily trying to get a low flame. It is still a useful torch though especially where a large flame is necessary.Read full review

Excelle
Bought this to use with acrylic pour painting to release bubbles on the canvas and it’s just the job. Incredibly good value and easy to use, just turn the dial then click the button. Was a little nervous as I’d not used one before but after a first try out in the garden I’m very comfortable using indoors too, thank you!Read full review

Small torch, easy to use.
It is brilliant for small jobs and soldering.
Not very powerful so if you planning on burning weeds or work on the larger areas I would advice a more powerful one. Have in mind that bigger will use more gas.Read full review

Great Tool for BBQ Lighting
This blow torch is great value for money. It lights first click and the flame can be regulated with ease using the control. It can be moved around to direct the flame accurately without causing the gas pressure to fluctuate. Great tool for lighting BBQ briquettes and getting cooking going quickly.Read full review

Quality, cost effective gas burner, blow torch
I have been looking for a blow torch for the kitchen, some are too small, the industrial ones are quite expensive. This one fits the bill, reasonable price and easy attach a gas canister, only only downside is, no ignition so you need a match or gas burner to light it, no real problem for me.Read full review

Hot stuff just where you want it.
Infinitely better than any of the refillable blow torches in every respect. So much easier as well, mainly due to not wasting time filling each occasion you want to use it. The flame is bigger and much more intense. Like any such item you MUST read the instructions carefully, but once you are fully informed it’s a doddle.Read full review
