"Gift for my husband."
"I'm very pleased at how well and simple this little torch is."
"Very nifty compact torch set for precision soldering and brazing."
"The tips are made all copper, even the compression fitting (the bulbous part under the ring that turns down on the torch handle. The housing, which you are supposed to be able to slide down to access the hard tubes on the handle, doesn't slide down - because the brass colored fittings the hold the lines to the handle are made as one piece (the Smith is to separate fittings - one for each hose)."
Reliable and well engineered, this torch combines Turbo Torch's Extreme technology with a traditional manual lighting torch.

Note: the gas gun fire need to fill the gas fuel to use. How To Refill： 1.To fill the torch hold the torch upside down and make sure the fuel tip has rightly mated with the refill hole of the torch. 2.Give a heavy strength to push the refill tip. Try a pump action will get a better effect(pump action is adding gas and then loosening the tip to let the air in the gas tank out then it will be easier to add gas)Right refill won't has vapor until the tank has been fully filled. Perfect for caramelizing sugar atop your creme brulee, glazing a baked ham for the holidays, searing a steak, roasting bell peppers, melting cheese and toasting bread crumbs.

"This works great!"
"Beautiful."
"In the beginning, the base would not hold the torch and the lit torch would fall over onto my work table. Anyway, the torch is a good value, does exactly what I want it do and I would buy another one."
"There is a big difference between our older kit than the newer portable blowtorch we have now."
"This torch has easy one-button operation with an adjustment for flame level conveniently on the side."
"This torch is being sold as a ‘kitchen torch’, yet the packaging, which lists all sorts of practical recommendations for use, never once mentions using it as a kitchen torch."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The Bernzomatic is a big improvement in that it has an easy-to-use ignition switch, meaning no annoying scrambling around with matches when the flame goes out (which was a frequent occurrence with the previous cheapie model)."
"They worked ok as long as I used 2 of them, but even though they are apparently non-toxic and not considered lighter fluid, I thought it still had a bizarre smell when lighting. In Canada, I can seem to only find the short trigger type torches, which given the amount of sparking that can occur with fast lighting charcoal, I thought best to keep my hand at a distance. BTW, I used propane, not MAPP (which I've read is even faster to light charcoal, but 30 seconds is fast enough for me)."
"Worked like a dream first time I used it."
"Love this guy!"
"Perfect for driveway and parking pad."
"Burns the house down, major advance over using a hoe for those impossible to reach spots."
"This is the best lawn tool I have ever bought!!!!"
"A little on the weak side, but straightforward to ignite and use."

"Great product!"
"The flame is good."
"Most negative comments indicted that they had problems with filling the torch with butane. The one I brought home had a metal nozzle that was shorter than the plastic Ronson Universal Fueling Tip."
"Fuel filler tip on the device as you fill it does not fill well."
"I didn't use this right away, and once I started filling it with gas, it just ran out the nozzle because the fuel adjuster knob was broken and stuck in the on position."
"Worked great at first!"

"Hated using a wet sponge because it reduces the tinning effect on the tips causing premature wear."
"I only wish the bottom wasn't fit so tight to the top as it makes cleaning a bit of a task."
"This works much better at cleaning a solder iron tip than a wet sponge."
"Order this along with some other items for my hobby / side business I've always had and reserved about if these things actually worked I've seen them on YouTube but thought why not try one."
"The Hakko 599B-02 Solder Tip Cleaning Wire and Holder is well made."
"The brass pad works so much better than the sponge. Every so often when the brass starts to fill up, I empty the container and "fluf" (for lack of a better word) the brass sponge."
"Works just as advertised and was huge improvement over the wet sponge I was using."

"Update 10/10/14: After running a tank of propane the self-igniting feature started to work--when it works it works very well."
"I have used an "Alaskan Pipeline" size propane torch for years to kill weeds along chain link fencing, to light brush piles, and fire up a barbeque pit. While searching the net for a weed burner for my daughter I ran across this Bernzomatic 19425 JT850 Self-Igniting Outdoor Torch. When weed burning just pass the flame over the grass and weeds enough to, cause a slight darkening of the coloration with the heat (rupturing the cell walls in plant) and move on."
"Throw away those undependable click lighters (that never seem to work, even when filled with fuel) and light your campfires quickly and from a safe distance!"
"I called Bernzomatic Customer Service who suggested that I vacuum out the tube as my problem sounded like something was restricting the air / propane flow. The torch appears to not have good design features: Air is mixed in below black handle rather than simply at the bottom of the tube. Gasket at female end of handle that mates with propane bottle appears to be a natural fiber similar to cork which may flake off. Tube melted off when I purposely tested as listed below to try to isolate blow out issue which in my opinion was the air / propane mixture ratio and pressure. Tested piezo self starter which showed good spark when viewed from bottom of tube. Flipped black tube handle upside down and opened propane valve completely. Used sewing straight pin for hemming to verify valve body propane hole not plugged. Replaced natural material gasket at female end of torch with a synthetic non flaking gasket from a propane bottle long term storage stop leak cap. My experiment resulted in the torch being too hot and overheating tube beyond designed safety temperature. Completely disassembled propane valve and took photos and wrote up this review. Comment to Bernzomatic: I think you have some problems that you should check into: improve user manual to include re-lighting details and troubleshooting details, design of product, manufacturing quality control, and verify that some Chinese company is not impersonating your product on Amazon and selling garbage. The user manual should be improved to give clear safety instructions including eye protecting against overheated exploding rocks, detailed troubleshooting steps, and detailed cleaning and servicing instructions. You should provide refurbishment service or replacement regardless of whether product is bought online or in a retail store. Comment to buyer: I would not take a risk on this product no matter how many good write ups you read. I did some research online and decided to buy a Harbor Freight weed burning torch by Greenwood item number 91037."
"However, after running 1/2 to 3/4 pound of propane I noticed the flame was not as focused, and then the tip dropped off 6 inches up from the bottom."
"Keeps shutting off after 15 minutes of use."
