We have a lot of gravel landscapes and I get overwhelmed by weeds every spring. I bought this weed/garden torch this year and was very happy with the first 4 uses. About 3 weeks after purchase, the torch does not open fully and does not produce good bursts of fire. It gets stuck at the lowest/minimum throttle power. I made the mistake of contacting the company through their website first and then waiting for a response. Haven't heard from them yet and my Revain returns window has since closed. I'm stuck with a flashlight that I need to fix or replace - that's an issue I didn't want to deal with. Are you interested in a garden torch? My recommendation is YES! do not hesitate. buy it? proceed with caution.
