KitchenCraftRefillable Cook’s Blow Torch with Adjustable flame, 9 x 16.5 cm, KitchenCraft's 12 month guarantee, Black and Silver

When trying to fill it with an existing aerosol can of butane, a lot of fluid gas was spluttering and flooding about the entry point. The torch worked perfectly.The same happened again when filling a second torch. This had never happened when filling two gas lighters. For this reason I prepared to return the torches for a refund, owing to faulty filling valves.I then bought a Swan aerosol can of butane, that states, 'Fill all lighter brands . . ' 'Also fill butane powered domestic appliances'. It filled the torches without fuss.The fill nozzle is identical to my existing can, but with a difference. The exit end of the nozzle has a cup shaped entry. This enables it to centralise on the torch input tubing and make a good seal.I also tend to discharge any residual gas in the torch before filling.I found Swan gas at a newsagent/tobacconist shop and have since noticed that Tesco offer it as, Swan Gas 200Ml.

As described, not yet used but appears good. Happy.

Excellent bit of kit - very easy to fill with gas, very easy to use one-handed if you need to. Ignition not too stiff, lights first time and the flame is totally adjustable. It's a good chunky size that fits in the hand really well. A superb product at a great price. No drawbacks for me.6-months later after much use - still every bit as perfect as the day it arrived - excellent.

The media could not be loaded. I really liked this item when I seen it in work, but after start using it, I started dislike it a bit because of way it work. It have a good thing to thighten a screw to minimize using a gas. Jet flame is good for many thing but unfortunately is not the same with normal flame. Is really small depending on how big trays I'm using for my baking. And when I trying to start a flame on normal flame it doesn't want to fire it up. So I have to start from jet flame first and after change it to normal. Ive already checked it on 3 torches and I've got same result. If you looking for a good and cheap jet torch, you get one this.

Excellent product and as a previous reviewer has said this does more than cooking jobs. Its basically a mini blow torch so as the name suggests you can use it for pretty much anything. I have used it for all sorts including lighting coals for bakhoor (Arabic incense) Some people have suggested that the flame is feeble and couldn't be used to caramelise sugar. I can only assume they have not got around to adjusting the flame which can be turned up or down to make it more powerful.Its of a reasonable size that it can be hand held the base is a little big so it can make it a little clumsy at times. The only thing I would say that is a down side to this is although you click the red switch to turn it on there is no off switch and you just have to turn the gas back down until off. A very minor point, this is otherwise great.

Please think carefully before buying this blow torch.Mistakenly I ordered two of these torches, but decided that it would be easier to just keep the extra one as a spare - returns can be more bother than they're worth right?This proved to be very useful, because now I can say with some certainty that this torch is completely useless.I struggled to fill the first torch, but as I have never used a gas canister to fill things this way, I thought it might be something that I was doing wrong, so I persevered, following the directions given with the torch. I left it sitting for a few minutes - nothing. I left it longer - nothing. Eventually a tiny blue flame which burned for a second, then nothing. I tried again, but most of the gas seemed to be wasted spilling out across the bottom of the torch. Still I persevered, this time ignoring the guidelines that came with the torch, and pressed the refill against the inlet valve for three burst of fifteen seconds. I waited five minutes before trying to light the flame. This time some small success, and the torch managed to produce a small sharp flame which burned for about a minute before dying.Thinking that I had a faulty blow torch, I opened the second packet, and tried that, but had exactly the same results.Very disappointing. Please don't waste your money!I will be looking for a top quality blow torch this afternoon - one that hopefully has many many five star reviews!

Perfect for baking or model making. I got the gas torch as an addition for the tool box. Easy to fill and use. The large knob on top is the gas flow control and the red side button is to ignite the gas. The down side is the control knob doesn't make much difference in the flow of gas, but maybe I have a faulty burner. You can also control the flame with the screw on the bottom which is part of the filling nozzle, works just like a gas cigarette lighter. On the up side I used the torch to heat a stubborn nut which was rusted solid, two minutes with the torch and the nut came away without a lot of spanner pressure. I didn't bother with the expensive gas from amazon as most corner stores sell it for under a pound. This is a great little tool for the kitchen or toolbox.Did you know that in New York USA... every place of business must have a spitoon and clean it every 24 hours.

I bought this as a birthday present for my wife, and now that she has used it for the first couple of times I thought it might be worth sharing our experience with it. The device functions well, with the mechanical parts seeming to be well constructed and well though out. The top part is a rotating valve that has a three-quarters rotation covering from off to maximum gas. The red side button ignites the flame, which jets out to a little over two centimetres from the tip. The metal nozzle is recessed inside a black plastic cowl, which is undoubtedly a safety precaution to reduce the chance of anyone touching the heated parts, so definitely a good feature. The only negative is that the shiny silver parts that you see in the picture are painted plastic. This doesn't affect the performance (which is fine), and with reasonable handling there is no reason to think that the device won't last for a good few years. Overall it seems great value for money, and does the job nicely.
