Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For more years than I can remember I have used this brand of torch in my remodeling business as well as all over the farm. But eventually everything wears out. I ran through three of these in several years.I cannot tell you how many plumbing connections I have soldered with them. A year ago I bought my fourth. The first thing to go was the piezo lighter. I continued to use it, lighting it manually. I am retired now, so I use it much less frequently. Several months later, it is now completely dysfunctional. Soon, the button that holds the flame on stopped functioning. Then the main button that turns on the gas stopped. I threw it away. Something has changed. Maybe someone else makes them now. Maybe the materials in the head itself changed. But I cannot afford to keep buying them. So long old buddy.
