2.0 out of 5 stars Brass Squeeze Valve, January 26, 2009

This review is from: Red Dragon V-880 PH-1 Squeeze Valve with Adjustable Pilot and Torch Handle Kit (Lawn & Patio)

Disappointed, I ordered a new valve and was sent a used valve. Though is appeared to be priced less than a new valve and functions it is not what I ordered. Additionally Sears sells not only a valve but also the propane torch and handle as a kit for considerable less than the recommended "package" on Amazon. Returning the package to Amazon would have incurred restocking charges that made it about an equal deal. Recommendation check Sears first.

It didn't work quite as expected plus I had to call the manufacturer to request a part to repair the valve.

I had assumed that the squeeze valve would completely turn off the flame when it wasn't squeezed. I was wrong--you also need to have the knob turned off.

The knob I was speaking of didn't completely shut off the flame on my torch so I called the manufacturer and they sent me a part to replace (free of charge).

If you're in Iowa try out glurb.
