Cadrim Kitchen Blow Torch 1300°C Dual Flame Adjustable Refillable Butane Chef Tool Cooking Blowtorch Lighter Mini Adjustable Flame with Lock BBQ Baking Creme Brulee Crafts Soldering (Gas Not Included)

I bought this for two purposes: The first and the main reason was to use the torch for applying shrink wrapping to wiring and soldered joints in smaller spaces where I don't have access to electricity suitable for a plug-in heat gun. (I'm a plant fitter and generally work in fields/middle of nowhere with no facilities etc). The second was to use for soldering cables when the weather doesn't permit the use of my battery powered soldering iron - Though I've got probably one of the best battery soldering irons on the market (and most expensive), it can't cope with heavy wind and rain as it can't retain enough heat in the tip - The Cabrim Blowtorch however can certainly continue to provide enough heat to allow me to successfully solder cables in all sorts of adverse weather (obviously in really bad winds I still need to give some shelter to the flame to avoid it being extinguished - but it's far ahead of the battery powered soldering irons for maintained heat output). The fuel consumption seems fine, it lasts longer than I'd expect (so I'd say it was good/economical) - I usually use three one second bursts of gas to fill - you can tell that the torch is filling by the cold feel to the handle as you prime it up, but I find a total of three seconds of gas transfer is about it's maximum refill - this will give you probably 15 minutes of continuous burn time (just guessing here as I only burn the torch as long as it takes to solder a cable, so maybe a minute at a time maximum usage). I've had no issues with the torch burning the tip or not igniting, it seems to be built to a good standard and is of a metallic construction - it feels nice in the hand and is weighty (in a good way). I like that you can turn the flame from one to two burners for extra heat and that the throw of the flame is perfect for smaller spaces. The torch provides good constant heat in all sorts of weather and I really can't complain about this tool at all. It lives in my toolbox and gets me out of trouble when I need a fair bit of heat. Would 100% buy another one when needed.

A good unit that does what it says The variable flame length makes it suitable to use for different things as well as being able to swap between single or dual flame which alters the heat and performance. Filling was easy with a standard butane can purchased from almost anywhere. I use it to remove top bubbles on resin and a quick flash over works. I've filled it once since purchasing it 3 months ago and have yet to need to refill it Very sturdy construction and feels "heavy" and solid in your hand. Its been accidentally dropped, while full, and no issues with leakage or usage even after that.

Got this one mainly for the two flame usage. My thinking was a broader heat source would work faster than a single flame one, time will tell. It feels good to hold and use, and clicks on straight away, every time. It's made to a high standard, and enamel to a nice glossy finish. The only negative ( at the moment ) point is the lack of a safety catch for when you store it away after use, you don't want this to light accidentally. That's why 4 stars given - buy it, but store safely.

Really good nice quality item good double flame although if you want a single flame the control button on the top is pretty useless and I don't understand why they've let it down like that it seems to be so Heath Robinson and comparison to the rest of the machine although I was still say definitely get this it's really good I just don't understand that design part

After my last experience with purchasing a blow torch, I felt the old saying of "Buy Cheap - Buy Twice" really caught up with me and so this time, I opted for something a little more expensive. I am pleased that I made the right decision. This blow torch is very well crafted, you can really feel the sturdiness in your hands when using and it is perfect for the kitchen or the workshop. I actually use mine for 3D printing to remove stray plastic from some of my prints and the dual flame really comes in handy for this. In terms of longevity, I am very impressed. Again, to compare the last one, i would need to fill that up with gas everyday but this one last so much longer. The flame is also not wild so i'd say it's very safe to use. Ease of use - I'd say this is suitable for anyone, even a person with poor grip as the button on the top isn't difficult to use. The only negative I really have to say is that it doesn't have a child lock but for me that isn't an issue as all my kids are much older now. Overall this is an excellent purchase and very worthy of the 5 stars!

First thing I noticed was this thing is tiny. Really tiny. The photoshopped image of a hand holding the torch on the box and on the amazon advert is completely missleading, unless you have the hands of a toddler. Check out my photo to see it in a real human hand, I'm size 9 not a giant. I also found the flame size wasn't even close to that shown in the photographs. Not a great start. As you can see from my photo the finish on the nozzle didn't last long. The torch itself feels very well built ..but it isn't. After a few minutes use the nozzle which is held by a screw on either side became wobbly. It seems to blaze through gas at a rate of knots, and I'm not sure how given the small flame size. After less than an hour the auto ignition completely stopped working. I also found the one/two flame control knob is just screwed in with nothing to stop you completely unscrewing it from the unit and no indicator sd to when to stop turning the thing. In summary: doesn't live up to photoshopped advertising material, ineffective and unreliable. Now having wasted my time and some butane I'm going return this to Amazon.

This is my second one I have bought. The first one lasted me a few years and gave it away. It's a bit more pricey than its competitors. However, it is very well built, metal, single or bouble flame option, very easy to use. It is extremely durable: I've used it for over 5 years and has not faulted once! The flame is adjustable from very dim to very powerful, reaching heath up to about 1300 degrees Celcius. I definitely do recommend it!
