 NOT A CHILDS TOY !!!Apr 26, 2010
So yea i read the reviews on this little devil. Thought i would give it a shot starting our campfires. I was sick of wadding up paper ! So i lit this puppy up and it sounded like the Blue Angels taking flight !! I took it out in the back yard to get rid of some stubborn weeds around my wood pile my spray wouldn't touch. I thoroughly enjoyed singeing the weed leaves..... i could tell it was very painful to them. And that made me feel really good inside. When i was done i thought i would take a nap from all the punishment i inflicted upon the weed. I got up 30 min later and just happened to stretch outside and look in the back yard and my whole wood pile was on FIRE !!! All of my hard cut campfire wood was in blazzes !! I carried several buckets of water to extinguish the inferno that i had created. Puff the Magic Dragon ain't got nothing on this !

Great productApr 06, 2010
I purchased this item because my husband had brought home a professional torch that was loaned to us. We have an acre of weeds and a torch is the only way to go. I loved the expensive Italian model and was looking for an equivlent torch at a reasonable price. This one, along with the optional squeese handle is just as good as the pro torch. I am so happy with the performance and price. This is my favorite garden tool. I have to admit, it's also fun to use controlled fire to kill weeds. Die weeds, die.

This thing is intense...Apr 02, 2010
Okay - I have a lot of brush, ground covering, and etc that I needed to burn. Also I live out in the country and burn large items like cartons of soda and dish detergent boxes. This torch does these jobs great...
So great in fact that I got my woods on fire behind my house, fought it for 2 hours before I relented to calling the fire department who came with a bulldozer and cut me a free nice fourwheeler road through my thick woods.
This thing will incinerate almost anything if left in direct content with the flame. I disintegrated an aluminum can in about 8 seconds. It burns wood almost instantly.
It's easy to assemble ( don't miss the instructions, the package labeling unfolds ) and easy to light. I didn't buy the cart which is like $70! you can buy a nice dolly for $30 and use it for other things as well. Just get you some straps to strap it on. However, I strap the propane tank down to the front rack of my fourwheeler and use that to carry my 20lb tank around. Plus you can get away from fire quick with the tank if you need to. (Trust me, if you're not careful, you can find yourself standing admist of a blazing fire you started only moments earlier)
The adjustable valve that it comes with is easy to use, you can tune it down to barely on to keep it lit and conserve fuel while moving to another location and then you can quickly twist it a quarter turn to make it jet like.
I wish I had this thing this winter so I could have melted all the snow that stayed around forever in our walk path and just basically got nasty. Also it would be good to thaw a frozen hill side of ice that is keeping you stranded. Yeah it might take you a bit, but you could EASILY melt you several patches up and down the hill to make it able to be traveled even without a 4wheel or front wheel drive.
All in all it's a good product. 4 stars out of 5 because they don't include the handle (another $60) and the rod gets ice cold, unbearably cold, when holding it hence the glove requirement.
Oh yeah - I tinkered and burned things all day with it and the tank stills just as full as when I started. I'd say I maybe burned a pound or two.
awesome torchJan 27, 2010
this was very easy to assemble. i ended up also purchasing the squeeze handle seperately. i actually saved a few bucks by doing it seperate and i had it in 2 days rather than 2-3 weeks. there werent instructions but there was a picture so you can figure it out and have it together in 20 min max if you have a half of brain. if you cant figure out how it goes together maybe you shouldnt be using it in the first place.

 Way too powerful for most of my weeding needs.Oct 25, 2009
I got this to kill moss on my brick patio, weeds on my rock path and flower/vegetable gardens, and to melt ice of my steps. It is scary loud and too powerful for killing weeds that are growing within 5 feet of any plant you don't want to hurt. I do plan on using this to control moss and to melt ice on walk ways. Although, I think torches melt ice surprisingly slow from everything I've read and seen in video's. I would recommend this to someone who needs to weed a large area, but not for weeding a flower garden. For torching weeds near other living plants, I would recommend the Bernzomatic Self-Igniting Torch.
