Tools and Hardware Reviews of the BUTANE PENCIL TORCH - Adjustable HEAT
Tool Review: Good when it works, but it doesn't for long
Summary: 2 Stars
The torch is inexpensive and performs well, the problem is however that it fails far too quickly. It probably is simple clogging, but I haven't mastered the art of squirting butane through the nozzle to clear the path. What is more, in my case the problem actually prevented the torch from being able to shut completely; I turned the screw and then had to wait for a few seconds for the gas flow to slowly die.
The torch was cheap enough for me to go and buy a second one, but in the end both torches I've owned failed in a similar way within less than 5 refills. I haven't used the same brand butane so it's less likely that poor fuel was a factor.
In fairness, the instructions do warn of this problem and suggest a solution, but it hasn't worked for me and it's a nuisance either way. I'd suggest you try a different product.
