This lighter is well made. It has a little weight compared to what I bought at the big store. The flames on all three tips are stronger than my old blowtorch. Tips are very easy to change. With a small tip I can reduce the flame until it looks like a candle. The ignition works well enough. The safety trigger automatically shuts off the fuel as soon as you stop pulling the trigger, but you can lock the trigger in place if you wish. The flame control is very easy to use. The image uploaded shows all three nozzles in action with propane. Overall I am very happy with this blowtorch.
