Product Description

The Blazer Stingray butane torch is an anodized, refillable gas torch that creates a precise flame emitting from a nozzle head, allowing direct heat application to an object. It is used for detailed purposes such as brazing, plumbing, soldering, jewelry making, culinary, and dental and lab applications.

The Stingray has an anodized outer body finish, which increases thickness and strength to resist wear and corrosion. It features a gas flow adjustment lever, to control its blue flame length. It comes with an attachable, tabletop stand for hands-free work.

The torch houses a piezoelectric ignition system, which is based on a pressurized molecular reaction, and requires no electric connection. Piezoelectric energy occurs when the trigger is activated, releasing a small, spring-loaded internal hammer that strikes a crystal, producing a spark and resulting in gas flame ignition.

With a maximum flame temperature of 2,500 degrees F, the Stingray has a continuous burn time of approximately 1.5 to 2.0 hours, at maximum fuel volume, and has a 26-gram gas capacity. The torch head has a 90-degree fixed angle, and its flame range is 0.5 to 1.25 inches. It has a safety component that offers manual lock of the ignition, when not in use. It measures 6.0 (l) x 3.5 (w) x 1.33 (d) inches, and weighs 6.3 ounces. This product is intended strictly for use in professional and industrial environments. In accordance with federal regulations, home use of this product is prohibited.

Since 1985, Blazer Products has created an array of professional and industrial tools and equipment. Located in Farmingdale, NY, the company manufactures a variety of micro torches and ultrasonic cleaners. Blazer Products is known worldwide for its original micro torch products.

The Blazer Stingray torch operates with a standard butane canister (sold separately).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great torch for a beginner to soldering. November 5, 2012
Color Name:Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a professional goldsmith and I occasionally teach newbies. This is an excellent torch for someone new to soldering. It's small, easy to fill and adjust, and not scary to use. It will fuse Argentium nicely, and also solder Sterling Silver and copper wire as long as it's not a really heavy gauge. I haven't tried it on gold yet. It's great for balling up headpins and making rings and earrings. I even soldered right up next to small prongs without danger of melting them, which I was expecting to happen. Even bezels were safe with the flame right next to them. It doesn't burn nearly as hot at the oxy/acetylene that I normally use, so the fear factor is removed for someone just getting up the nerve to use fire for the first time. Of course it's still fire and safety precautions need to be followed, but it's a pretty safe torch. I like the fact that it locks. Comfortable to hold too. Initially I bought it for a specific demo, but wasn't able to get the really fine, small flame that I needed. But for general soldering it's great! I reach for it often for little stuff. I still use my oxy/acetylene for the bigger items that require a lot of heat.

I would have given it 5 stars but I did experience the lighter not lighting every single time as some others have experienced, but it's not a big deal to me. It is a giant lighter, after all. Keep it away from the kids!!!!

Also,order the triple refined butane for a smoother soldering experience because it sputters a little when used with regular butane. I could not find it locally. Rio Grande Jewelry Supply carries the Blazer brand triple refined, but you need to pay hazardous shipping charges.

Still not sure? There are lots of videos on You tube showing this torch and how easy it is to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product, Good price. April 6, 2010
Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
This torch works just fine. I was looking for a small torch to use primarily for electrical repairs on cars. It is well made, sturdy, comfortable to hold and use with one hand. I'm left handed, so opening the regulator lever on top with my thumb takes a little coordination, but isn't difficult. It can be unlocked, turned on, lit, extinguished, and locked all with one hand. I really like the lock feature so that it doesn't accidentally turn on and waste all the fuel. I also like the base stand so that you can easily set it down without worry of it falling over and melting something. The fuel tank is fairly large. I have only filled it once when I bought it a month or two ago. Overall, I am very satisfied with this torch. It is well worth the money. I have used an almost identical torch which cost about twice as much as this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't Hold Butane March 11, 2011
By Alritz
Color Name:Black
Nice little torch. Wouldn't hold Butane overnight. Finally checked the filling valve on the bottom of torch before throwing it out. Tightened it up, and it's worked well since. Check yours before using.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best one for the money November 29, 2010
Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this after looking in a dental catalog . It is 20 bucks cheaper than the catalog. It fills without mess. It does exactly what it says it does, and it is WELL MADE!
I'd buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice torch August 20, 2012
By luke
Color Name:Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received my GB4001 last week, and have used it quite a bit over the weekend. Perfect size and weight - feels very substantial and well built. The range of flame sizes is nice, as is the ability to control the air inflow and thus the power of the 'torch', anywhere from regular lighter flame to large high-powered jet.

Pretty easy to operate one handed, and the little stand is very nice. Hopefully the combo of bright blue anodize and large size will keep me from losing it like I do with every other lighter in the house!

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Easy to fill, use, and looks/feels/functions as well or better than expected. I'll update this review should problems arise, but I feel like this will stand the test of time quite well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great September 18, 2011
Color Name:Blue
Burns hot and ignites every time. Was worried it was going to be too big but it's the perfect size. Anodized metal gives it a intresting look and everyone has to pick it up. Feels heavy and somewhat expensive. Good product.

Great for jewelry work. Be sure to totally invert when filling or you will get air in the tank. Air will give you a gigantic yellow flame shooting out about a foot. Oooops. Read more
