Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Improved Bernzomatic BZ8250HT Hose Torch with Trigger-Start by Charles Russell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good soldering torch. A must have for HVAC and Plumbing

I use it almost every day to solder tubing and refrigerant components. The design is good. I use a loose tie in the top loop to hold the tank in the holster. The flashlight will light up on the first or second pull of the trigger most of the time. Trigger ignition and flow control make soldering joints much easier, especially when the location or position is less favorable. The regulator works fine. I've had the same MAPP gas tank for a while and this burner doesn't seem to be burning much gas. The length of the hose provides good reach when the holster is attached to a belt. The holster has a metal sleeve for the flashlight which I think could be improved, angled or redesigned. The torch handle is very light. It's nice as it doesn't cause fatigue, but I wish it was a little heavier. I doubt the quality of tools if they are too light. The handle is made of thin plastic, so it should be lightweight, but can feel a bit flimsy at times. I would also like the ignition to be a little more reliable. Overall I am very happy with this burner.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
