The mine is devoid of any safety whatsoever

Does the Blazer torch work with other brands of butane than Blazer? We are currently out of stock of Blazer butane. ?

Power 5x+ has been my go-to software I love how it works. For around $30, you can get a case of 12 cans from Amazon. In the last few months, I have been buying a lot It's a brand I've been using for a couple years now, and it's great If you buy it by the case (12), you get a discount. Torches are one of the things I use every day and they are all different types of torches There's no doubt that this Blazer torch is one of my favorites. As I mentioned earlier, I answered your question about the fuel used in this torch, but I wish to say that I would strongly recommend this torch to anyone who is looking for a HOT,pin point torch that is awesome. In the company, I use it the most of any of the other seven equipment we use. This includes the single head and dual head flame throwing devices. Unlike any other Blazer, this one blows them all away! Purchased a land and bought a house During the past year, we have returned more than 14 torches to the field It is by far the best selling item at the store! I give this bad boy a ten out of ten With a price that can't be beat, Power 5x brand fuel is worth every penny. I also give it 10 stars!

What is the rate of noise produced when using titanium relative to a propane torch for a plumber?

It's honestly not as loud as it sounds. It's been about 3 months now that I have owned this torch, only thing to watch out for is to make sure that the knob is completely tightened, otherwise the gas will leak. That was one of those hard lessons learned the hard way It falls below I would give a plumbers torch an 8 out of 10 for noise and this torch a 5 out of 10

Were these ready for us when we ordered? Can I get a butane refill all I need?

Definitely, but it should be refilled with Blazer Butane

Selected User Reviews For Blazer GT8000 Big Shot Butane Torch

Butane of the Blazer brand was needed to operate this torch
4/5

The torch is good. A light that is easily visible. We did not give this torch 5 stars, since it can only be filled with the Blazer brand of butane which is a bit Since the intake valve on the torch is a custom valve, the torch can only be refilled with the brand of butane named on the valve. In spite of trying two different brands which I use on my other flashlights, I could not fill this one. At first, I was going to return it, believing the torch was faulty. However, I discovered that the Blazer butane cap measures 1. 87 inches in diameter and has nozzle adapters built into it. I then realized that Blazer butane adapters are probably custom-made for use with Blazer torches if they need adapters. As promised, the Blazer butane was perfect for the job. However, I cannot comment on the quality of Blazer butane in comparison to other brands, but I did find that, with shipping, an 1/8-gallon can of Blazer butane costs $23, while 4 of the same size cans of another brand cost When I run out of butane, it aggravates me that I can't go to the hardware store as quickly as I would like. Furthermore, I find it irritating that the description does not specify what Blazer butane is needed.

There is a new arsonist in town! When I received my Blazer torch in the mail, I was tempted to move my work bench to my couch
5/5


I was blown away by this thing. With this new tool, I'm able to solder my jewelry and light the barbecue of my neighbor, all without having to lift a single arm or leg. Please keep in mind, as I said, that's with the torch on its Without putting a strain on my body, I am able to set my entire hometown on fire. my pores and sealed them The town I grew up in As I travel with the torch, it will be lit.

The products are good and the customer service is great
5/5

The torch is my second purchase of the same model. The torch I purchased last year suddenly stopped working for my metalsmith/jewelry making work, so I bought this one to act as a backup. My torch was still under warranty, so Blazer paid for a shipping label to get it back to them. They responded within an hour, saying it was still under warranty and they would make A whole new window was delivered to me in less than a week. You are welcome to use our services for free! Even after they cleaned it up for me, I was sent it back filled with You may find it a bit irritating to have your torch suddenly stop working while you're trying to do work, but it's a good idea to have a backup in case anything goes wrong! As a result, I can fire twice as hard. Blazer deserves praise for their customer service and as a company!.

It is important that inspectors check the products thoroughly before they are resold
3/5

It wasn't tested for safety before it was used. The explosion almost caused a fire. The picture shows what I mean. It seems someone dropped the ball on this one. It is clear where someone tried to twist off the knob with pliers, then tried to twist off the top of the knob.

Choosing a torch for silversmithing/metalsmithing is a good idea I love how easy it is to use, and how affordable it is! My goal is to learn how to work with metal One smith recommended this torch to me, and another smith recommended this one to me
5/5

This torch has so far been a great experience for me. In addition to the silver plate, I have soldered wire and bezel as well. have used hard, medium, and easy solder and have had no trouble getting the solder to flow. As far as size and weight, I am very impressed with this little beast. Another thing I like is how small it is. There is a weight to it. The fact that it is portable means it can be taken anywhere you want. My goal is to buy an oxygen tank one day Although I also use an acetylene torch, this Blazer has become my best friend thus far. In addition, I want to mention that using that has relieved a great deal of my soldering anxiety. The software is easy to use and re-use Please fill out. Purchase this product and you will not be disappointed! An example of a pendant I made using the Blazer Big Shot can be seen in the picture.

A torch is the best thing for a night out There are two useful tips in the following paragraphs
5/5

An individual who values the best of everything needs this beast as their weapon of choice. Do you remember the first time you burned over an opening and the When you use the Big Shot, it does not happen. During the 3 years I have been using it, I have witnessed endless expensive models being replaced by friends and associates. Every year you have to buy a $30 torch is a stupid idea. In addition to the fact that this pays for itself fast, here is some very valuable The Big Shot did not like the butane I bought, since it was no name, cheap butane. When using low quality butane, the car will spit and fail. After draining a full can of that, I refilled it with Power 5X and now it whines like a kitten once more. Secondly, for a better result, depress the valve with a screwdriver in order to drain the rest of the butane out of the torch. By doing so, you will maximize the amount of butane you get into your tank.

For such a little torch, there is a lot of heat! I sometimes use a small butane torch to solder small sterling silver and metal pieces at my bench for convenience and ease of use
5/5

The brands and sizes I have tried have reached the same results, although some have done the job A handheld torch's biggest challenge is to ensure that the entire metal surface is hot enough to ensure a proper join when making all of If the piece is larger (like a belt buckle), it can be difficult if not impossible to use a heat gun, so I have always used my acetylene torch. It is now possible to change all that thanks to this torch. Most pieces of furniture, even those with multiple joints, can be uniformly heated to the appropriate temperature in just a few seconds using this machine. Thanks for the purchase. I am very happy with it. the torch you're using on your handheld doesn't have the strength to heat large metal jewelry pieces, you'll need this device. Others are found to wear out after just a few months or break easily. Since owning my Blazer Big Shot for about seven months now, I have not had any problems. Despite being easy to pack and travel with, I still use my acetylene torch for big jobs. However, I can do a lot with this torch, and the torch does a lot.

It is the best dab torch you can get
5/5

There is simply no better torch ever made! I have never used a better torch than this outside of a glass blowing studio. Even though I am using it for fun, it is faster and simpler than any I have ever tried. I would recommend this to any dabber looking for total control over their flame.
