Then, slide open the safety lock, point the nozzle away from your body, and press the ignition button. If you’re looking for the torch that kitchen professionals swear by, it is without question a Benzomatic. The flame control and ease of flame adjustment make this torch one of the most versatile butane torches available. While most butane torches have a push-button system, the difference is that with some lighters you have to hold down the button to get a continuous burning flame—this will prove arduous when welding or soldering for extended periods—but others have a lock that allows for the flame to burn without the ignition having to be pressed by the user.

In relation to tank capacity, the larger a tank, the less time you have to spend refilling it with fuel, and the longer it can provide you with continuous burn time. 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 ignition button is incorporated into the unit for instant ignition, and it has excellent heat shrink capabilities and adjustable temperature controls.No need to worry about sporting an unsightly, clunky fuel tank because this model has a canister to hold it between fueling. The most common safety features on these torches come in the form of safety locks, child locks, and childproof triggers.

There is a clear, built-in gauge that allows you to check in on the fuel level and be prepared when it’s time to refill the handle.This torch also boasts an anti-grease finish torch grip so that you can easily handle the torch even if your hands are a little oily. The adjustable flame temperature is reasonable at only 1,200℉ which means this can also be used as a small torch.
