[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 1570899, member: 6288"] I picked this Blazer PT4000 up on Amazon for $35. It's marketed by Blazer as only being for "professionals", but I can see it being useful around the house too. I personally got it as a toy. [attach=full]93178[/attach] The body is heat resistant plastic and the business end is made of anodized aluminum (type II by the looks of it). The switch engages nicely and it would be really hard to accidently turn it on in your pocket. [attach=full]93179[/attach] It's ignited by pressing a button on the bottom that creates a spark via the torch's piezoelectric ignition system. No batteries required. [attach=full]93180[/attach] It features a stand near the hot end that's convenient. [attach=full]93181[/attach] [attach=full]93182[/attach] The flame is advertised as being adjustable between three-quarters and two inches. In reality an inch is stretching it, I think. It still has plenty of reach. It never fails to light unless there's a bunch of wind. [attach=full]93183[/attach] The flame does blow out easily, though I consider that a safety feature. One thing I don't want is a 2,500˚ F flame being dropped onto the carpet. [attach=full]93184[/attach] [attach=full]93185[/attach] [attach=full]93186[/attach] My only complaint is that it feels cheaper than I thought it would (although not "Chinese cheap"). The body has some flex if you try and He-Man it around. Other than that I can definitely recommend this torch, even if just as a toy. It fits in your pocket and is efficient with fuel. Don't know if it will run on high for 30 minutes as advertised, but it's certainly a fuel sipper. For $35 you can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
