SOTO Pocket Torch w/Refillable Lighter

I’ve tried the ones available locally but this is the best micro torch out there. Worth importing.I use mine as a travel jet lighter for cigars. Put this in your checked baggage, the standard lighter in your pocket and when you get to your destination you have a jet lighter. Lost a few standard jet lighters in the past and this is the perfect solution that gets around air travel rules.

Very well made simple and functional, I've been using mine to silver solder.

Fonctionne une fois sur deux

A bit tight out of box but became much smoother after a few pulls. Very smart and versatile design which makes ordinary disposable lighters jet torches. The refillable lighter come with it can also take butane gas directly from a long gas canister, or from the mountain gas canister via a converter. However maybe due to my human error, I found the gas spilled to my hand was as much as, if not even more, than the gas filled into the lighter when I was using a long gas canister to refill it.The torch works well as described and the flame is blue and hot. My palm can feel the heat from about 5 inches (12cms) away which tells.The plastic shell seems thick which hopefully is durable.Cons? A bit large and not cheap. If you just want to have a refillable jet torch, there are brands like Clipper, which makes metal ones at cheaper price, and of much smaller size. Or if you want to have a jet torch that is refillable and extendable, then Soto's Pocket Torch XT would be good for you, at pretty much the same price. Unless you have many disposable lighters at home that are in the right diameter, and you want to turn them into jet torches, which I don't know why, this thing is a nice toy to have and certainly has its use but would not be my first choice if what I need is a tool, which is not to say it can't do the job, just not the more straightforward option for the purpose.

Great for a pocket lighter, good for camping trips and lighting camp fires.
