This is dangerous! suitable for kitchen and dining room

*** UPDATED NOVEMBER 14, 2021: I gave 3 stars in my original review but I downgraded this flashlight to 1 star because it is VERY DANGEROUS! I lit it the other day and it slipped out of my hand. This shouldn't have been an issue as it should have turned itself off as soon as I stopped pressing the button you hold down to keep it on. let me clarify something For safety reasons, I NEVER BLOCK THE BURNER FOR THE FLAME WITH FREE HANDS! This flashlight is very slippery to hold in the cylindrical area where you have to hold it and when I lit it it not only slipped out of my hand but got stuck in the on position so it slipped as it slipped out of my hand Hand, she stayed lit, burned me and almost set my clothes on fire! As I said, this torch is very dangerous. If the problem was just the slippery grip, I was able to fix it by gluing a non-slip rubber grip onto the cylindrical area; However, this in no way prevents the locking mechanism from failing. GENERALIZE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS! Enough said! First review: It's probably good for lighting cigarettes, but it doesn't have a big flame, so it's not good for the purpose I bought it for. In fact, to start a flame you have to turn the throttle to full power and if you reduce the flame even a little it goes out. Also, the fire nozzle "appears" shorter than in the picture. It's definitely shorter than I'm used to. Can't say for sure it's shorter than the photo, but definitely shorter than I expected; therefore, in my opinion, it is not suitable for soldering, which is what I bought it for. I can't use the inability to regulate the flame. I'll probably save it to light some candles or something since it was on sale and didn't think to add some butane to try. Instead I filled it out. Since it's full of butane and was pretty cheap, I'll probably keep it to myself. I'm still debating whether to keep it or send it back. It's guaranteed, so I can see how well it works for anything other than soldering. I don't like it and I wouldn't buy it again.
