Product Information

One of the better butane torches that can be used as a lighter, this LONDAFISH micro butane torch has a simple ignition system that is easier to light than most others. To use the torch as either a lighter or blow torch, simply adjust the flame and the arc creates a safe distance between fingers and the fire. The flame is also weather resistant and can work in rain or wind, making it ideal for camping, hiking, or other outdoor activities. Before refilling your torch, you should always ensure that the gas flow is off. The refill port and nozzle is at the bottom of the torch. Give the butane a little shake, and then insert the nozzle into the canister while pressing and holding. This pressure will create a flow that allows the butane to enter the nozzle. After a few seconds, the canister will be filled and you can release. It’s best to refill your torch in an open space. While some of the cheaper tools come in plastic casings, you’ll find that the most durable, industrial-grade butane gas torches are constructed from heavy-duty alloy steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and iron. These metal models, understandably, might be more expensive but are designed to last you longer than their plastic counterparts. Safety Hobbyists looking for a transportable and practically weightless butane torch option will find the micro flame SFC Tools butane torch a prime choice. This butane torch is self-igniting, is made of stainless steel, ceramic, plastic, and iron, and has up to 1.5 hours of continuous burn time. The self-ignition button makes this one of the easiest butane torches to light, and it’s one of the few torches with an automatic ignition system.

Other differences between butane and propane torches are the size of both the torch and the gas tank, with butane versions being much smaller and having smaller tanks, but this often makes them slightly more economical and also more portable. The flame, in addition, is smaller and weaker in a butane version. Butane Torches for Welding A term you’ll come across often while searching for butane torches is piezoelectric (or simply, piezo) ignition. This type of ignition creates its own electric voltage by hitting a quart element when the push button is pressed, thus igniting the fuel in the torch.One shopper, who has been buying this particular model exclusively for over a year, reviewed, “These torches definitely get a workout every single day; these have held up very well to the intense use. Much longer than some other brands I've tried.” Specifications Again, though not the most powerful torch that is able to heat metals to their melting point, a butane torch can get some light soldering and brazing done on plumbing, and pipes, and it’s actually very common for metals used in jewelry-making. Some of these torches come with soldering accessories too, like soldering tips. Below we take a look at some of the features to look out for when on the hunt for a good butane torch. Ignition system Other than these features, users should take the proper precaution when using butane torches, as well as storing them safely, wearing the proper protective gear, and taking extra care when filling them up with gas.

Torch heads are screwed onto canisters, which means it’s simpler to refill because the gas is coming directly from the source, as opposed to refilling a smaller canister. That said, this setup does require holding the entire canister as you use it, which can prove more difficult for inexperienced cooks. Torch heads and refillable canisters are roughly the same size, but you need to keep in mind that when you’re using a torch head, you’ll also have the entire canister attached, which can be larger and bulky. Torch heads are typically the version that you’ll find in professional kitchens as they’re more efficient, they outlast refillable canisters, and they’re more powerful.You’ll need to separately buy a 14- or 16-ounce propane tank to fuel the torch. The adjustable flame knob allows you to control the strength of the flame as well as safely extinguish it when you’re done torching. This is certainly a pricey option, but if you want a tool that can do everything from torch a mini marshmallow to caramelize a glazed ham, this is the torch for you. Reviewers love using this high-powered torch for finishing off steaks and centerpiece proteins. Even though it’s nearly twice or three times as expensive as some competitors, customers feel the investment is worth it and they love the product.

These torches have flames that range from 1.5 inches to a maximum flame length of 5 inches long. Some of them feature adjustable flame lengths so that you can vary the torch flame according to your intended application. Fuel Capacity The truth of the matter is that a butane torch is not powerful enough for hardcore welding tasks. Welding requires heat in excess of 6,000°F, whereas, as mentioned earlier, a butane torch can only reach around 2,610°F. However, it’s not impossible, and, with an industrial-grade torch, you may be able to get a little welding done on thinner metals, but bear in mind that a butane torch will be nowhere near as effective as a welder, or even a propane torch, and is not likely to be a good use of the tool or your time. Butane Torch for SolderingA butane torch may be small, but these gadgets can reach temperatures of up to 2,610°F which is enough to melt copper, aluminum, and many other metals. Also known as butane lighters, blowtorches, or culinary torches, butane torches can come in handy whether you’re a professional or if you just like to dabble in a bit of home DIY. A butane torch can be useful in many professional or home applications Most torches are either a refillable canister or a torch head. The former are smaller and less bulky, making them a great option for beginners. Torches with refillable canisters have a small amount of butane in the handle and can be refilled from a separate butane canister. It’s always helpful when the refillable canister models show you how much butane is left so that you know when it’s time to refill. If you’re using the torch frequently, it can become somewhat annoying to constantly refill, but for the occasional torching, these refillable canisters are great. If you’re looking for the torch that kitchen professionals swear by, it is without question a Benzomatic. Known for its high-quality, durable kitchen torches, Benzomatic makes a range of reasonably priced torch heads. When you’re using this trigger-start ignition model, you don’t need to worry about keeping the torch upright, as it’s pressure regulated for tilted use. What’s more, the continuous flame ignites easily for a burn time of up to two hours with the fuel gauge at maximum. Additionally, the adjustable flame allows users to modify the gas flow to extend the burning time.This butane gas torch provides a flame of 0.5–1.25 inches in length, and one shopper commented, “I use this torch for soldering sterling jewelry. I love its pinpoint flame to do jump rings and other tiny tasks.” Specifications Metalworkers can use this anti-flare butane torch from Master Appliance to weld, braze, solder, or desolder various metals. The removable base of this butane torch means this tool can be used either on a table (hands-free) or as a hand-held torch. The adjustable flame allows users to increase or decrease the flame temperature, and, like most butane torches, if the electric ignition system fails, this torch can still be lit using an external flame for a continuous 30 minutes of burning time.
