Sondiko Butane Torch Lighter with Visible Fuel Window, Refillable Soldering Torch with Adjustable Flame for Welding, Resin Art, Industrial (Butane Gas Not Included)

I have been meaning to purchase a culinary torch for quite a while, and I am so glad I did. There are so many times that I wanted to just brown the top of a dish without having to go back into the oven. This works really well and browns in seconds. I have over done it once already but still learning ways to make it useful. So far the most common use is with breakfast. I stopped trying to turn the eggs for "over medium" and just let them stay a little longer on the bottom before putting them on the plate and using the torch to lightly finish the top. Way more consistent and appealing. It also is great for going a nice crispy top to sausage patties; melt butter on pancakes and biscuits after they are on the plate. This makes routine cooking more fun. This torch is easy to handle and makes quick work of everything. Not a necessity, but a nice kitchen item to finish off your handiwork. While the really pure butane is for culinary, it still can be used for any other application at home, but not visa-versa.

Comes empty and you must refill. Once refilled works great. Easy on the hand and very comfortable to use.

This torch is very simple to use. I use it to pop the bubbles in my epoxy projects, to char the wood in my wooden flags I make and to start the charcoal in my grill sometimes. The flame is adjustable and puts out a solid blue flame. It is easy to fill using small lighter refill cans.

Works great, nice flame, easy to use. Sometimes have trouble refilling it more than other torches I've used before though.

OK so this is my second torch of this type. First one, while I was using it to shrink wrap a small wire splice, I heard a high pitched POP almost a crack and the whole thing burst int0 flames. I contacted amazon and they said it was not returnable [read the fine print] but they were very helpful and refunded me the cost. So I went out and found a difference seller and purchased same type with very littler difference in look. but had a much higher review and cost a couple more bucks. Well right on cue another crack almost pop, but I stopped using it right away. So, I disassembled this one and found something very dangerous. the 2nd photo is the feed tube that goes from the valve to the drefuser on the torch head. this tube is not made of good material and is prone to splitting which will allow the flame to barely stay lit but allows the majority of the gass to leak out inside the housing till it catches the flame. This is very scary because your whole hand a area you are working will flash over in a huge fireball. It was enough to catch my facehair and paper towels on the bench to light. I was looking over the work at te time and the fireball rose straight up into my face singing my face hair [chest hair, mustache, eye brows, eye lashes, and sideburns. Plus receive a very light 1st degree burns [very light, lasted barely 2 days] on cheeks lips and forehead . disassembly is easy and the bad parts was obvious as soon as you pulled the trigger. I was lucky enough to have some Cox fuel line for an micro .025 engine that fit like a glove. plus I glued the h0ose to the brass fittings for extra safeguard. Now it works and I feel safe. Do not trust these torches [ any of them] they can very easily blow a flame ball at your face and if I did not have firefighting training, I would have most defineately freaked out, because all you could see is a fireball at you nose!!

A fantastic torch for a great price, straight up, no bs. I've had mine for several years now and the only thing wrong with it is that the "stay on" button doesn't work anymore, but that's honestly not an issue for me. The flame is big and hot, but controllable. If you hold down on the -Gas switch while it's on you can get it even smaller. Obviously the flame is largest when the tank is full, and slowly dies down as you use it, but it lasts a good while. You can use pretty much any standard butane as far as I can tell. One thing to be aware of is if it's about full liquid butane will build up in the area around the valve and will probably splash you. It's cold but so long as you don't prolong contact you'll be fine. It's great for all kinds of stuff from lighting incense, candles, or cigars (cigarettes, joints, etc.) to caramelizing sugars and meringues. TLDR: I highly recommend this torch, I've thoroughly enjoyed mine and so have the people I've gifted one to. It's simple, easy to use, and of good quality.

This little guy fires up easily without making me fear an explosion. Torches food perfectly so I look like a master chef. Love those small finishing touches that make the food look extra special. Small size is perfect.

This is a serious flame thrower! 420 friendly but BE CAREFUL! You'll burn your face off. Don't let the cute colors distract you, this thing is only a couple clicks less than a flame-thrower.

Excellent quality!

Fonctionne très bien de bonne qualité

Really impressed with this blowtorch. It feels well built in hand and the flame is strong and consistent, giving good control whether you’re caramelising, finishing dishes, or using it for light DIY tasks. The fuel gauge is a nice touch because it actually helps you keep track instead of running out unexpectedly mid-use. It also lights easily and adjusts smoothly, so you can dial in the flame size without any fuss. Safety features give a bit more confidence when using it, and overall it just feels like a reliable tool rather than something cheap or fiddly. It’s one of those products that quickly becomes useful far more often than you expect. Overall, a brilliant bit of kit that performs really well. Easy 5 stars.

I am very impressed with the quality and functionality of this kitchen torch; the one-handed operation is incredibly convenient and the safety lock provides great peace of mind. The adjustable flame allows for precision whether I'm caramelizing sugar on a creme brulee or searing a steak; the fuel gauge is a brilliant feature that ensures I never run out of butane unexpectedly. It feels well-balanced and the build quality is rugged and durable; it's a reliable tool that has already become a favorite in my kitchen. It fits all standard butane tanks and is very simple to refill; it's a high-performance torch that delivers professional results for a very reasonable price.
