Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this torch as a gift for my wife, and neither of us are impressed with it after using it several times. First, it has a safety mechanism that is so hard to push down, you almost need to use a screwdriver (or something similar). It is so difficult to disengage the safety mechanism, that my wife often cannot do it. The second problem with this torch is that it is constantly going out, even though it is full of butane. Unfortunately, every time you want to light the torch, you must depress the safety, so it has turned out to be a real pain... If it stays lit (occasionally it does), it works great, but I don't think it is worth the effort.
