I had given up on this micro torch because after a few uses, I could not get the igniter to work. You do have to twist and push, kind of tricky to do with just one thumb, but not impossible.

Yesterday I was searching Amazon in hopes of finding a "better" micro torch, came across this one that I own and echoed a negative review already posted.

This morning, I dug out my torch, actually put on my reading glasses and found out that I had been turning the igniter the wrong way!!

Like my title says, boy did I feel stupid. Lit it over and over again turning it the correct direction just like the little arrow indicates, and it worked flawlessly. There was only a slight breeze at the time, so I cannot truthfully comment about it's wind resistance.

Sorry Wall Lenk, my anger at your product was unjustified. Changing my review to five stars.

I bought this because I wanted to apply heat to a stuck nut in a tight spot under the hood of my car. I was able to fill it up easily from a butane canister. However, it is very hard to light, in part because you have to twist a knob and press it at the same time. You can't light it with one hand. Even indoors it takes multiple tries to get a flame going; outdoors in the cold (40 degrees F) forget it - wouldn't light at all. When I lit it indoors, and then tried to carry it outdoors the least bit of wind would blow it out. I would not buy this tool again.
