Blazer GT8000 Big Shot Butane Torch by Blazer

Such a good torch. It’s been a god send for soldering jewellery

March 2023 4 years old and still works like the day I got it. It is run every day for at least 2 mins per day. Update; July 2021. This torch has worked perfectly for 2.5 years with daily, regular use. I wouldn't buy any other torch. It honestly works like the day I got it. Original review below: I've owned a lot of torches. This one, I only just got it. So, I have no idea how it will hold up compared to other torches. However, many torches I have bought have only lasted around 3 months. The last one I purchased lasted over a year, though, and still works. I bought this one because it's apparently the best. It'll be a long time until I know if it can last as long as my other one, a Newport torch, also purchased from Amazon if I remember correctly. All that said, this torch uses my butane slower. It seems to be more fuel efficient, the flame is more concentrated, the flame is more powerful and can withstand the wind better. I'm not a big fan of the activation and deactivation method. You turn a knob to open the gas and then strike with a button, closing the knob to turn it off. Because of that design, it feels less safe. Compared to my other torch, which is like most torches(that I've owned), and has a safety, you unlock, press button, and have to hold or lock to keep on. If one of my kids happens to get their hands on this torch, I feel like they'd be more likely to be able to trigger it or do something dangerous than they would with my old torch, and most torches, if not all, torches I've owned before that. Aside from that, I'd say this is the best torch I've ever owned. We'll see how it stands up to daily use for the next year and hopefully, I'll remember to update this review then. Edit-3 months Still works like the day I bought it. Nothing has changed.

The Blazer GT8000 Big Shot feels very well made and has been reliable every time I’ve used it. It lights quickly, produces a strong and consistent flame, and the controls are easy to adjust. The base keeps it stable on a work surface, and the overall build feels much sturdier than cheaper torches I’ve tried. A dependable, high-quality torch that performs exactly as expected.

Excelente calidad. Muy superior a otros modelos de la misma marca, ni se diga de marcas genéricas que se descomponen al mes.

Awesome!!!!!!!
