Blazer ES1000CR Spitfire Refillable Butane Torch, Black

My last Blazer torch lasted over ten years, and with the exception of the added child safety clip (easily removed) this torch appears identical. I've been using it for over a year before leaving this review, and it never fails to light. I use it for light silver smithing. like soldering jump rings and repairing chains. Good quality and it's the right tool for the right job.

Super quality and faultless ignition

easy to use and adjust flame

Oh yeah, this baby is sweet! I am a tool-freak (I must own 100 hammers). I own and have a number of small torches. Some lesser torches always leak a tiny bit, it seems like you need to fill them every time you want to use them. Not so with the Blazer, it's completely well-sealed. Lesser torches also eventually wear out their piezo-electric igniters. This one is built to last. It is SUPER-hot and the flame is very concentrated, you get a pin-point heat source. It has an excellent and VERY SAFE safety mechanism, young children will NOT be able to ignite this torch. Some adults won't figure it out either, but that's okay. A really fine product in all respects.

I lost my other one, so I bought this again. Before I bought it 2nd time around, I went and researched a little to see if there was anything better. I still feel that this is still the best one out there for my use. I mainly use this for the outdoors. When I'm camping, this thing starts the bonfire and my BBQ with ease. I've always used them bbq lighters and the flames on them were never big or strong enough. This thing replaces all my lighters and matches both indoor and out. Maybe it can be a tad smaller for my use, but it really doesn't bother me all that much. I have another smaller, pocket size torch as my every day carry.
