Great product
I am extremely satisfied with this product! The quality is outstanding, and it performs exactly as described. It arrived on time and was well-packaged, ensuring no damage during shipping. The materials feel durable, and the design is both functional and fits your hand just right. After using it for a while, I can say that it has exceeded my expectations and has been a great addition to my jewelry making.

perfect solution for my needs
The trick is to get the butane to go in, once you get the butane in the torch it works great. I thought I had it in at first but only a small amount of fumes and it didn’t light then I got it to light and horrible flame. then went out. I figured out that the base was in the way of the nozzle and took the 2 screws out and then I was able to get the butane to go in and once I got it full, the fame was great and I put the soldering end on and you can’t slide it on all the way leave just a little about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch instead of all the way back. It won’t light if you push it all the way on, but if you move it back off just that little bit it lights fine and melts the solder with ease.Thank you it’s great.I think that may solve a lot of people’s problems per reading their reviews

Finished 3rd in a shootout of 4 butane micro torches
MICRO TORCHES REVIEWI was unable to decide on which of the many butane micro torches I should buy from Amazon, and I couldnât trust the ad claims or flame pictures, so I ended up buying 4 to test then against each other. I have lots of larger torches of various sizes, but I wanted one with the smallest, most focused flame. The pictures in the ads of the flames was not, where pictured at all, was not useful to me or accurate. Price was not a factor for me in this.1. Blazer ES1000CR Spitfirehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EDU5NYMade in Japan. This one has very cumbersome controls. Lighting it is a very awkward process requiring two hands and rolling an interlock forward whole pushing down on a button. Lighting it also requires 3 other controls to be in the right positions. The controls also feel rather flimsy. The flame is OK There is very little variation in the flame between minimum and maximum. It does have a button for continuous operation, but again, it feels rather flimsy. It was also the second most expensive at $53. Really the most expensive when you consider all the extras the $56 Dremel comes with.2. Bernz-O-Matic ST2200Thttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PS9TQIMade in Taiwan. The listing for this product falsely states, in two places, âThe product is manufactured in United Statesâ. I did not appreciate the false/out-of-date information. The controls are much less cumbersome than the Blazer. It has a child lockout for the igniter, presumably brought to us courtesy of CPSC. If you donât have kids and want to get rid of this, it looks like it would be very easy to just snap off a piece of plastic and be done with it.The torch is easy to use. There is not much difference between the minimum and maximum flames. The flame is a bit larger than the Blazer. I wanted the smallest flame, so this was a negative for me. The instructions are printed on the side of the main tube, which is handy. It also includes a soldering iron tip. $323. Dremel 2200-01https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MJW07Z0Made in Taiwan. Includes a decent thin metal box containing lots of accessories. If you donât already have soldering equipment, this might be the best choice for you. It comes with a detachable stand; all the others come with a fixed base stand. The flame comes out at an upward angle, which all the others have a flame coming out at 90 degrees. This may be a plus or minus for you. This one, like the Bernz-O-Matic, comes with a plastic child lockout that looks like it could be broken off and discarded if you donât want that feature. This one got second place in the biggest difference between minimum and maximum flames. The maximum flame was the largest of all tested, so if youâre looking for max flame, this is the one for you. At $56, the most expensive, but it comes with a lot more accessories than the others.Both the Dremel and the Bernz-O-Matic could easily be started using one hand, even with the child interlock. The Bernz-O-Matic was probably a bit easier to light with one hand. Both of them featured instant-off flame when you releaser the button, with a lock to engage for continuous flame.4. RAVS RBT018https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5RKWNMS?th=1Made in China. With the first three, you press the igniter button to turn on the gas and light it. The flame stays on only as long as you continue holding down the button (unless you engage the continuous lock). As soon as you release the button (or the continuous lock) the gas is cut off and the flame goes out. Probably more âconsumer-safeâ for people who donât really know what theyâre doing with a torch.This one is a bit different from the first three, in that it operates more like a typical propane torch. There is a rotary knob that you turn CCW to turn the gas on or CW to turn it off. So you turn the gas on, then press the igniter button to light the gas. You adjust the flame from min to max by using the rotary knob. The flame stays on until you turn the rotary knob fully CW to shut off the gas. So perhaps a bit less âsafeâ for those who donât really know how to operate a torch safely.This one also felt a bit heavier and more substantial that the others. Apparently it uses more metal and less plastic. It also had, BY FAR, the most adjustable flame, from less than half what the others could produce (like down to about ¼â flame for some really fine work) to considerably more than their maximum flame. This one was also the cheapest at only $22.Itâs also made in China. Normally, I will go to great lengths and spend considerably more to buy USA-made products, with probably Japan second and Taiwan third. However, for MY specific requirements, this Chinese RAVS was the clear choice for me.

Great ltttle torch!!
This is the third one I’ve bought. Love them. I’ll be keeping this one in the “pocket” of my golf cart. One of the uses I have for them is to burn ends of paracord that I cut. I used to use a box of matches, but after getting wet, you may as well throw them away. I’ve used a variety of fuels in them and they are not picky. I also use them to heat the ends of arrows to remove inserts. I also use them to “fix” the ends of serving that I use on my bow strings. It’s nice that they are smallish, stand by themselves and you can lock the flame on. One of the first things I do is to super glue the safety switch down, so that it simply ignites when I press the button. I’m 71 and have no kids to worry about.

Great price!
Works better than most hand held torches. First one lasted 5years.

Tiny, hot flame. Nice soldering attachment!
I bought this little torch to unfreeze a couple of broken 6-32 screws that were rusted into a 1/2″+ long threaded hole. The screws were 1/4″ away from an expensive piece of tempered glass. This was too fine a job for an ordinary torch.I was delighted that the flame was about 3/16″ in diameter at its base and less than 1/8″ at the tip. I was able to get the screws red-hot without endangering the glass and was able to wiggle them out! The margins of the flame were easily hot enough to melt aluminum foil, which I was using for heat shielding, The center of the flame is much hotter, and I have every confidence it would melt gold or silver.The torch fueled up effortlessly (fuel sold separately) and lit right up. About 1 out of 4 clicks will not light the flame, but that’s no problem.I LOVE the soldering tip, It attaches securely and there is a feature on the torch to interrupt the pencil flame so that the butane burns catalytically inside the tip, I haven’t yet used it for soldering but look forward to it.I’ve read complaints that this torch will not hold much fuel, but I did not find that to be true. After fueling up, I probably burned the torch for 5 to 10 minutes without running out of fuelUPDATE: I’ve used the soldering tip for the first time. On high (+), it gets as hot maybe as a 30W soldering iron and takes a bit longer to heat up. I was a bit surprised it’s not hotter. However, you still can’t beat the convenience of not having to string up an electrical cord to get to an out-of-the-way place. 🙂

Very Handy but Fragile.
I think this torch is way over priced and mine broke within a month of normal use of mostly just heat shrink on wire soder jobs. That being said it does work well at being a torch and basic soder joints. Then it breaks… YMMV

Great torch but was sent the wrong colour. Wife wonât use it because of the colour. sad I know, but thatâs important to some people.
Damazon BuyerDecember 11, 2024
Has a really annoying trigger safety lock that I may remove. Otherwise, this torch is great for detail work, since it has a thin, pencil flame. It works very well for soldering and heat shrink.

Won’t survive many accidental drops onto the floor.
