Professional quality tool!! I just used it this morning to help loosen up a seized bolt. It doesn’t have the potential of oxy-acetylene but for home work it does the job!! Plus I also use it to light up the bbq charcoal and you can buy the map gas cans 7 days a week at your local screw fix

I seem to have a duff one. It seemed to be an excellent piece of kit for the money; powerful, quite well made, pretty strong & easy to use. Unfortunately after about a dozen or so firings it stopped igniting - then it did - then it didn't, & sometimes when it did the flame shape had belled out. Checked the piezo - loads of spark, but moved the wire anyway - success! For about 4 attempts, then no go again. Checked the nozzle - clean, but gently cleaned it anyway. No difference. Intermittency getting worse. Tried shaking the can -seemed to fire up a bit more. Tapped it - better. Tapped the burner body - success! Now seem to be able to get it to go all the time. By hitting it. Not good. So it looks like I've got one with a problem in its internals. Yet I'm recommending it? Yes, because I think I've been unlucky. Nobody else seems to have had this problem, & if it weren't for that it would be an excellent torch. Oh well. Back it goesRead full review

Having been a JIB Technical grade Plumber, now retired, I have used blowlamps extensively in all kinds of different situations for many years . The industry dominant one of course in this size, was the Primus 2000 with refillable bottles. But this one is good for the price and although it uses disposable bottles it does give you the option of being able to use MAPP gas for light brazing or silver soldering a handy thing to have. Also places for refilling Primus bottles seem to be getting fewer and fewer. That is not helpful if it runs out in the middle of a job, you want to be able to get a refill fairly quickly and locally. The disposable bottles seem to be more readily available in many places and you can buy a couple to keep as standby's. So we old codgers have to come up to date and although Rothenberg is usually a good professional make their lamps are exceedingly dear to buy. This one seems just as good. But then I no longer use a blow lamp every day and could not tell you what it performs like in regular every day professional use. I imagine it would stand up to it though just on the basis of the short time I have had it.Read full review

I’ve used this product a few times since I’ve bought it and it works perfect. For the price it is probably the best one you can buy and I would highly recommend it! Just for testing I was able to heat an m8 bolt to bright red/orange colour in about 40 seconds so it does its job very well.
