I returned item probably lost more returning than keeping. I wish some one would refund my pain in this purchase. All the pictures and writing lead you to think this is self lighting. Its really sad. BUYER BEWARE. Benzomatic even puts a trigger on unit. You will still have to carry a lighter.
But very happy with the Company I ordered from. The torch itself does not stay lite if tiled or held certain ways. Not happy with the torch. Great Company to order from, Fast delivery. Thanks Guys. The original Item is discontinued. I received something different than the picture showed to no fault of anyone's. The Company made it right by me right away the next day.
The only thing lacking is a piezo igniter, which some similar products have, though at much higher cost. 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.
Since I bought it, I haven't gone back to using any of my electric soldering irons. 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.
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 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. It works fine on highly filtered Bernzomatic butane fuel: Bernz-O-Matic BF9.
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.
