4.0 out of 5 stars Propane Torch - works but in small circles, January 28, 2008

I found the tool extremely easy to work with. Set up and use were no issue at all. Though I found it effective at melting the ice that had built up on the sidewalk, it was not as easy as I had hoped. I don't know if it was the cold, or the depth of the ice (.5 to 1 inch) but I found that the torch took quite a while to actually melt it down. It worked great, but it was only able to melt a 1.5-3 inch circle at a time and the sidewalk is 3 feet across. I found that the torch worked best when supplemented by the old fashion ice pick or shovel. The torch broke through the surface and gave me a void to break the existing ice into so that was easier than simply pounding away without it.
I would think about how you plan to use it and purchase as long as your planning is in keeping with it's abilities.
Good luck,

The device has a valve on it with a plastic handle that broke on its first use. I tried to then use a wrench to turn the stem to start and stop the flow of propane and the stem snapped off with very little effort. If you decide to risk it and buy this - I recommend that you replace the plastic handle with a metal one at your local hardware store.

I am so happy with my weed burner. I have brick side walks and spend all summer bent over pulling weeds. I have tried all kinds of weed killing sprays that didn't work. Now I can burn them and they are gone. I have been working all summer on the same tank of fuel so I guess it doesn't use much. It is a little tricky to light but it works great!
