There are various types of propane torches available in the market, each designed for a specific purpose. The heat output of a propane torch is determined by the size of its nozzle. A torch with a small nozzle will have a higher flame temperature and will be hotter than one with a large nozzle.
Yes, a propane torch can melt glass. The heat from the torch causes the glass to soften and then melt. The molten glass can then be shaped into different forms.
A propane torch can be held upside down without any issue. The flame will be emitted from the nozzle in the same way as if the torch were being held right side up.
Yes, you can roast marshmallows with a propane torch. You will need to be careful, as the flame from the torch can be very hot. Hold the marshmallow on a skewer and hold it over the flame of the torch. Roast the marshmallow until it is golden brown.

Works as promised; it starts up quickly and keeps a steady flame in all directions. Prior to writing this review, I had only ever used a propane cylinder (I haven't tried it with MAPP gas yet) for a variety of modest plumbing and torch-down roofing chores. Release the trigger or turn the valve knob to cut off the gas in one of two ways. Most practical - simply pull and hold the trigger to re-light, then release it to extinguish the flame. You can shut off the gas by releasing the trigger while leaving the valve in its predetermined position. This is excellent for little, fast burns. You can focus on the task at hand rather than using the torch for longer lengths of time thanks to the trigger lock's ease of usage. The main drawback, in my opinion, is that this torch head is significantly larger (and a little heavier) than the standard valve-only head, making it more difficult to store in a toolbox or other confined space. The built-in ignition with start/stop trigger and flame stability, however, make up for the increase in size and weight more than adequately. I'd recommend it for the majority of light- to medium-duty users because the torch's plastic body is quite robust but probably won't sustain a lot of abuse. If you take decent care of your tools, it should last for many years.

I reside in the Pacific Northwest, which has a temperate environment with lots of rain and summer sun. Simply put, marijuana heaven. A vegetable or flower garden can be overtaken by weeds in as little as two months. Additionally, the soil near my property is a very hard clay, making it difficult to get rid of weeds after they have taken root. It's time for contemporary techniques because I'm not a big fan of pesticides.The Positive Stuff* I think I have never had as much pleasure weeding a garden. When you torch some weeds, like some thistles, they virtually explode, which I must say is kind of satisfying. (You might want to protect your eyes; that hot sap hurts.)* Torching seems to take about the same amount of time and work as spraying roundup and moves along rather quickly.The "turbo" setting and the "regular flow" setting are the two options. About 90% of the weeds, especially the smaller ones, were successfully removed by the usual flow. Giant weeds and the tougher ones, which I knew from experience, took a full burst to fricassee. Did it first kill every single one of them? No, but neither do any other tactics, including digging and Roundup. About 75% of them do die the first time, and the remaining ones are easily dispatched with a second blast a few days later.* It is typical for exposed weed roots to make their way back into the soil in this region if you crop and simply "flip over" weeds before the light has a chance to kill them. That is quickly put to an end with a rapid torchshot to the roots.* Despite appearing a little flimsy, the connections between the torch and hose did not leak during the first 10 uses. I hope that holds true.The Unfavorable Things* An essential first step was omitted from the instructions. Throw the inexpensive POS striker that came with the torch into the nearest garbage bin. It distorted after a few uses and became nearly hard to operate with one hand; you must hold the torch with the other. The long-nozzle lighter was the easiest to operate and, despite the instructions' warnings, appeared to be quite safe.* I don't like the "turbo" blaster's trigger mechanism. It was simple to accidentally pinch it. If you are unprepared, the loud noise it makes will startle you. The turbo blast occasionally put out the flame, requiring you to stop and relight. I wish there was an igniter inside.* I'm unsure of the torch's actual weight, but it can become cumbersome. Although I wasn't very bothered by it, I wouldn't want to use it all day. Of course, given how quickly it consumes propane, I couldn't anyway. (I didn't use it for long enough to empty a tank, but after using it for about 20 minutes, my 10 gallon tank felt substantially lighter.)* A few of warnings: It is simple to set grass, bark mulch, or even big weeds on fire. Most are easily eliminated by stomping on them or will burn themselves out, but it's definitely a good idea to have a hose or at least a pail of water handy. Additionally, I would avoid attractive flora, woodwork, and macadam paving. After a thistle "exploded," I started wearing eye protection. Watch where you place it down as well since even after the flame has been put out, the nozzle continues to be hot.In conclusion,A torch does not completely eradicate weeds, but nothing else does either. It is actually a little enjoyable and was very helpful for me. The torch appears to be well-built and rather simple to operate, though there are a few aspects that may be improved.

I almost always use this to solder refrigerant lines and other components. The layout works well. To help retain the tank in the holster, I use a loose firing zip tie in the top loop. Most of the time, the torch ignites after you pull the trigger once or twice. Soldering joints is much simpler with trigger-operated ignition and flow control, especially in unfavorable locations or positions. The regulator performs nicely. The same MAPP gas tank has been on for a long, and this torch doesn't seem to burn through a lot of gas. When a holster is attached to a belt, the hose length allows for good reach. I believe that the metal sleeve used by the holster to hold the torch may be improved in terms of angle or design. The torch handle is quite portable. Although it doesn't make me tired, I wish it was a little heavier. When tools are too light, I wonder about their quality. Although the handle is made of thin plastic and is intended to be lightweight, it occasionally feels a little flimsy. I'd also like the ignition to be a bit more dependable.Overall, I'm quite pleased with this torch.

appears to be reasonably well crafted. I don't like that it doesn't have a pilot light setting, but I did take a zip tie and adapt it to fit over the handle and gently depress it, like another reviewer suggested. I also light it with a butane torch using the nozzle's back holes. Regarding its burning capacity: AMAZING!! My yard has turned into a jungle due to neglect since my MS has gotten worse. I'm now reclaiming it with my 4x4 wheelchair, battery-powered weed eater, chainsaw, hedger, and flame thrower. English ivy is burned, honeysuckle is removed, and tree seedlings are destroyed.As was previously mentioned, it works best to hit them in some way before frying them a few days later. Now I have another weapon to defend my family in case alien monsters or zombies appear.

This torch has fantastic fit and quality. After two presses of the igniter button, it ignites reliably. Although flame adjustment is limited, it is more than adequate for the majority of domestic brazing applications. This works great with a short, stubby style 1 pound propane container that I use. I have a suspicion that those who experienced issues with their torches were utilizing the tall, lean bottles. Due to a property of the propane, that could be problematic. It cools very quickly as propane is discharged from the pressurized container, which could lead to ice accumulation in the tank's neck. Weak flame results from the ice blocking the propane flow. You won't encounter the ice issue very frequently with the short, stubby bottles because they don't cool off as quickly.
Propane torches do not produce carbon monoxide.
MAPP gas is a type of fuel that is used in torches. It is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, including propane. MAPP gas is significantly hotter than propane, making it ideal for use in welding and other applications where a very hot flame is needed.
No, Bernzomatic is not the same as propane. Bernzomatic is a brand of portable gas torches. Propane is a type of fuel that is used in many applications, including grilling, camping, and home heating.
It's not safe to use a propane torch indoors. Propane is a highly flammable gas, and when it's burned in a torch, it produces harmful fumes.
A propane torch is a good tool for many things around the house, such as soldering pipes, lighting a grill, or thawing a frozen pipe.
There are many different types of propane torches, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs. If you need a torch for a small job, such as soldering pipes, then a handheld torch will suffice. For larger jobs, such as welding, you will need a larger torch. There are also torches designed for specific purposes, such as those used for culinary purposes. When choosing a propane torch, be sure to consider what you will be using it for and select the appropriate size and type.
