SemlosButane Torch with Fuel Gauge, Refillable Kitchen Torch Lighter with Safety Lock and Adjustable Flame for DIY, Creme Brulee and Soldering(Butane Gas Not Included)

Second one I've purchased. Works well in the kitchen as well as when lighting a well deserved Cigar at the end of the day. Large tank means less refills and you never have to wonder if it is getting low with the tank window.

I was doing some large-ish resin work, and wanted to use a flame to pop bubbles. This seemed like it would be easier than using an acetylene torch, so I tried it. (The resin was kind of a pain, but this did work to pop a lot of the bubbles).It's a lot of plastic, and as anyone who's ever used a plastic lighter can tell you, if you keep it lit too long, it's likely gonna melt, but I was surprised, it didn't show any sign of a problem while I was using it. (I used fairly short, moving passes over the resin, so not on for a long time on each pass.)I did have trouble figuring out how to get the gas into it. and I'm sure glad I did it outside, because I lost quite a bit of gas before I got the hang of it. Fortunately, the gas vaporizes the instant it hits the air, so no pesky spills to clean up.For ease of use, this is the bomb, compared to Acetylene Torches. Easy to hold, easy to ignite, and way smaller to store in the cupboard. I have both, and trust me, this will be my go to torch for anything that doesn't require a long duration, or super hot flame. It's basically a glorified lighter, but it allows you to direct the flame a lot better. I like it.

Easy to use and no pesky saftey switch, flame strenght is good. I am a michanic so using it with one hand is a breez.

I couldn't get it to ignite until I use 2/3 or higher of a flame setting. This uses more fuel than I'd like, but usable.

Almost everything about this torch is great especially the price point. I have ordered many versions of this same torch and this is a nice one. The only difference from similar models is the candy red high quality paint job. It is used in a restaurant setting. Table side torch experiences are about impressing and this does that better than the black ones.We can get about 3-5 months out of the igniter. At the price point I don’t mind. It would probably last longer in another setting, but I’m not sure.It is not worth it to spend more on a lighter that claims to not have the same problem, they all do at various levels. 10-15$ for a torch with a gas gauge, a wide range of heat levels and a pull trigger rather than a thumb button is an amazing deal. The trigger is a huge deal if used over and over again. Your thumb will hurt pretty bad by the end of service with other ones, with a trigger you are fine. We never really use the hold flame button, but it works. In a busy restaurant things drop. They need to not stay on when they do lol.For completely different reasons (salamander maintenance) I have high heat testing equipment. We tested this torch against some ones claiming higher BTU and found almost no difference and this hits the quoted range. If you need it to hit the highest heat ranges you need premium fuel. We use simple camping stove fuel (also from Amazon, it’s a red can we buy in bulk). There is an attachment included that is pretty durable. It works with bigger cans like the ones we buy.Fuel is going to be much more expensive than torches and buying camping grade butane in bulk is saving me hundreds every few months. Refueling is easy, just follow directions. Empty with the red stick then fill in 3-5 second spurts with the flame intensity gauge at its lowest setting.Finally it is pretty drop resistant and sturdy. I have no fear of leaking or (god-forbid) gas related explosions. It is put together better than you would expect for the price point.I have not found any torch in the 20-100$ range that works better for our purposes. Some may last a little longer, but it’s better overall to just replace as needed rather than buy more expensive ones.

It's nice. Filled it with BUTANE fuel and works great. Thank you. Happy with this purchase

Living in the country comes with its own set of unique challenges, and one such challenge is the recurring need to burn leaves in the fall and dispose of limbs shed by trees during even the gentlest of breezes.

Dangerous. Flame still goes after shutting the flow of Butane. Retuning it.
