Review on πŸ”₯ Improved Bernzomatic BZ8250HT Hose Torch with Trigger-Start by William Rothstein

Revainrating 1 out of 5

CHEAP QUALITY BREAKS

Terrible, bad quality, not like before. Avoid, avoid, avoid. We bought it in February 2019 to replace the same Bernzomatic we bought in 2007. He looked the same. But it wasn't the same. Our old one was still working after 10+ years but wouldn't ignite spontaneously so we decided to replace it. When the new one arrived we both complained about the poor quality of the materials. It looked cheap and flimsy compared to the old one. It felt like it was about to break. How did the new one fare? After 7 months, the lock button in the "on" position flew out and flew around the yard. The igniter stopped working after 8 months. So 10 years instead of 7 months of reliable operation. The old product was good but they really made the price cheaper here. Do not buy
