I returned item probably lost more returning than keeping. All the pictures and writing lead you to think this is self lighting. Its really sad. Benzomatic even puts a trigger on unit. You will still have to carry a lighter. I wish some one would refund my pain in this purchase. BUYER BEWARE.
The torch itself does not stay lite if tiled or held certain ways. I received something different than the picture showed to no fault of anyone's. Great Company to order from, Fast delivery. Not happy with the torch. The original Item is discontinued. The Company made it right by me right away the next day. But very happy with the Company I ordered from. Thanks Guys.
Since I bought it, I haven't gone back to using any of my electric soldering irons. I have found that this can happen if you don't hold the pressurized butane canister in place for more than a few seconds when refilling.Be sure to check out the Bernzomatic soldering kit.
It works fine on highly filtered Bernzomatic butane fuel: Bernz-O-Matic BF9. I bought mine after I lost the one from my Bernzomatic soldering kit: Berzomatic Micro Torch Kit Includes 3 Soldering Tips.
I can't verify this since I've always used Bernzomatic fuel, and the torch sips fuel. The only thing lacking is a piezo igniter, which some similar products have, though at much higher cost.
That is why I gave it four stars instead of five.Some people have complained that the flame gets weaker over months of use, and claim that this is caused by using less pure lighter butane. In addition to this torch, it contains several soldering tips, a catalytic soldering adapter (which you screw the tips to,) solder, a tip cleaning pad and a sturdy plastic case.
The variety of tips makes soldering small or large connections incredibly easy, there's no cord to get in the way, and you don't need access to power if you're working outdoors.
