5 out of 5 stars A RELIABLE, QUALITY PRODUCT FOR FINE DETAIL SOLDERING   July 26, 2008

I have been using this torch in my business for fine silver soldering for many years. Tried several others, but this is the best--and now they have improved the adjustment system for better flame control. I just bought 2 new ones to add to the 3 older ones that are still working after YEARS of use.

I have used many similar torches in the service and repair of boats, this torch is the best that I have used to date. Very good quality, ease of operation and great performance.

I recently started making jewelry in my spare time and this microtorch was the missing link that I needed to melt precious metals.

I have owned a Blazer Micro Torch for at least four (4) years. My original torch was damaged while unprotected in my tool pouch recently. I know I could have had my old one repaired, but I chose to replace it.
Since I brought it to work to solder lugs onto 10 gauge wire, one of my co-workers was impressed and since I told him I was going to get one for the company and one for me, he asked that I get him one too.

The micro torch has its place. It definitely works great for heating up the solder lugs and for soldering in remote areas (no electricity). I have even heated shrink tube, however you have to be careful not to apply the flame to the shrink tubing or the insulation on any wires.

I like that I can also control the intensity of the flame. Hey, if I didn't like the first one I bought, I certainly would not have purchased another one.

This torch is really amazing. I use it in our kitchen to carmelize sugars for creme brulee, candied brie, meringues, etc. Many of the other torches we've used are either too bulky or just are not built to last.

Instant start, flame length adjustment and temperature adjustment features are fabulous. I would buy this torch again before wasting money on any other torch.
