Love the pistol trigger and the amount of flame you can get out of it. 12 inch flame if you will. I use mine to burn the hell out of spiders and cobwebs and when they come back I'll do the same so I don't have to foul my yard and lungs with expensive spider spray. I also go for fresh weed. and hit the center of the root and dead there. Great for getting the soldering iron up to speed before you just plug it in and wait. It goes out a bit in strong winds or when you turn the burner head up and down quickly. That
