Review on LEXIVON LX 771: Multi-Functional, Self-Igniting, Adjustable Tool by Bill Dahl

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good burner suitable for soldering irons and soldering irons

It is good value for money. It comes with several soldering tips and a very nice hard plastic case. I was a bit disappointed that there was no adjustable air intake. The black plastic ring on the neck of the burner is NOT an adjustable air intake. When I bought the flashlight there was only a photo of the ring. It looked exactly like my flashlight, so I assumed it did. It was something other torches didn't have. Well, this one too. Another problem is the flame arrestor valve. You must use both hands to fix the flame. It is located on the lower left side and is inaccessible to the fingers of the right hand as the thumb presses the ignition. They should have stuck with some of the tried and true methods of the locking feature, a simple button next to the ignition. If you want to lock this flashlight, you need to move the lock at the same time you light it, otherwise the flame will not stay in your free hands. These aren't big problems. I still have the flashlight and am not thinking of returning it. Has a very good flame 2000+, looks like a tool and not like a piece of plastic like many things nowadays. In terms of security, it uses a metal tank (5 stars for that). I would recommend this to others. I use this one specifically for the kitchen and it works more than well. Hope this helps anyone who might have been on the fence. Remember you get what you pay for.
