Superb quality and great price

I have had several of these non self-luminous lights over the past 20 years and this is a great addition to an already excellent product. DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER BRAND, you will be disappointed with the quality and durability. The Turbo Torch brand is more expensive, but it's worth it. I had to replace my Turbo Torch products only due to theft and my negligence in breaking them.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Flimsy

Incredible Welding & Brazing Torch

I've had several "big box" torches over the years that do the job well. This torch is so well constructed that the flame burns spatter-free and produces an incredibly hot flame. The solder joint heats up remarkably quickly. Yes, the price is a bit higher than the competition, but don't let that small difference influence your decision. This is a tool for life. Buy it!

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • #

I am a plumber by trade. This is ideal for tight or awkward spaces. It sweats easily from 1" copper, but I wouldn't use it for more than that. I ended up buying another flashlight. The hole was plugged up after a month of daily use. It's easy to clean the hole, but the small seal gets damaged easily I'm not sure what Revain means by thickness but it's THICC.

Pros
  • Welding equipment and supplies
Cons
  • Very expensive

Works like a champ good for welders

Hard to beat for sweaty copper pipe and fittings. Add an extension hose and you're good to go. Update: This is almost painful to report because I really like this flashlight. I'm changing my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars because the igniter housing failed the accidental drop test with a bang. The burner still works well and the piezoelectric igniter still works, but the black casing holding the igniter in place broke into several pieces when I accidentally dropped the burner head onto the…

Pros
  • Welding and soldering
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

I bought another; It's worth it.

My first turbo lamp is maybe 3-4 years old and has (still) been working hard. - Thawing frozen pipes/pipes. Country/farm dwellers know that 5/6 foot "frost free" fire hydrants will freeze at the handle/lever. Therefore, 1-2 minutes of heating the burner will cause your faucet to leak and the livestock will be removed. Humidification during a cold snap is just as important for most pets as hydration during a heat wave. Quickly light a paperless wood stove or avoid a smoky room by topping up a…

Pros
  • Tools and household items
Cons
  • So far so good
