4.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars but..., July 31, 2009

The torch is very well constructed and works flawlessly. the flame control is a great feature missing from most other self-igniting torches,but one thing bugs the heck out of me. If you damage the tip, have solder drip into it or remove it and lose it, you have to replace the whole torch. I called Bernzomatic customer support and was told that they do not sell only the tips. I then asked why they make the tip removable and was told that is to enable the self-igniter to be serviced. If a part is removable to facilitate service, doesn't it follow that the part could be purchased? Seems a bit greedy to me.

This review is from: Bernzomatic TS8000BT High Intensity Torch Head (Automotive)

Bought this to replace my last Bernzomatic torch that was over 10 years old, & took one too many anger-fueled flights across my garage. This one is even better than that last one, due to the ability to adjust the gas flow ... and shut completely off if needed. If I can control myself I should get at least another 10 years out of this one. Only the knob is plastic - everything else is metal. The way things are SUPPOSED to be built. Are you listening GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc .. ??? As usual, Amazon couldn't be beat for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great, July 28, 2010

By 

Scott (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

I used this torch to burn out some bushings from the lower control arm on my car and it worked great. The lock feature was very helpful as was the flame adjustment. It started up the very first time I pushed the button and every time after that. I've never used a handheld torch before so the instructions were a bit slim on how to use it properly but a minute playing around got everything going smooth. The device itself feels solid and is not plastic feeling the other ones I saw. I bought it elsewhere with a yellow "fat boy" gas can for a lot lower then it's listed here.
