In soft fire, it delivers a steady, controlled flame that helps conserve fuel, while the hard fire setting focuses the flame for rapid heating or searing. You can switch between modes as needed to balance precision and intensity. The torch features adjustable flame control and a continuous flame option, enabling hands free operation when the ignition is pressed and the safety lock is engaged. Thanks to reliable ignition technology, it can be used at nearly any angle, including upside down, making it versatile for a range of culinary and craft tasks.

It is also suitable for lighting fireplaces or candles and for various hobbies and crafts, repair work, and small projects around the home. The torch can reach very high temperatures, giving you precise control over flame size and duration. It works with most butane tanks and can be adapted for long or short nozzle configurations with the included adapters. Its aluminum alloy body is compact and lightweight, designed for comfortable handling and durable use in daily tasks.
