Pocket Butane Torch

Product came empty with a fill refill container. Had to disassemble unit to fill & drill out the spot where the fill orifice was. After filling unit would not stay lit. Had to disassemble again to adjust the butane flow. Operation is a learning process. There is a safety lock that must be pushed forward before you can depress the light button. This button has two stops for some reason. You must press hard enough to push it past the first stop to the second stop to light the flame.

DONT. enough said! As one review stated, it is just a BIC lighter inside a cheap plastic case. I wish it was a Bic lighter, it might actually light

Summary: don't buy this. the wall of text that follows is a rare bad review from me - this is meant to satisfy my desire to feel less bad about buying this with hard-earned after-tax dollars. PRO: the butane fuel works well. CONS: this is a refillable bic lighter shoved into a conduit that brings fuel to the ignition area, which leads to highlights such as: conduit doesn't connect at all, connects but leaks fuel, plastic mating apparatus fails to stop fueling after button is released. If you manage to get the thing connected and it actually lights, you get a few seconds of flame before the bic lighter (let's call it a bic lighter, to make things easy) dies as soon as you move your hand, change angles, or get distracted and forget to hold your breath. If during those seconds spent marveling at the fact this thing stumbled into a successful fire triangle you want to adjust the flame, you are out of luck. you can't reach the slider even though some worker taking his first baby steps using a pirated copy of solidworks managed to put a hole in the plastic mold, but failed to place it in a usable location. No biggie, let's forget we just spent TWENTY dollars on this red plastic bic lighter holder, use both hands (another CON [or lie? you decide, either way this ain't a one handed tool]) and take it apart so you can adjust the fuel level. By now you might be an expert at mating the conduit-ignition path to the bic lighter (another PRO: practice at chinese puzzles). Unfortunately, these skills only lead to the inevitable frustration offered through the clipboard-police's favorite mechanism: the safety switch. This switch requires patience, forgiveness, and two hands to operate. Add to that the 5/1 misfires you'll enjoy on this model and you have yourself a twenty dollar bill in the shape of some premium chineseum plucked right off the big rock candy mountain. It's not even a usable bic lighter, it's a bic lighter without a flint. I can't believe this would pass a usability test and how it got through sourcing to the shelves in the store is quite the oversight. I will chalk this up as a prank and stay positive and go buy myself a Benzomatic like I should have in the first place. added PRO: if you haven't gone through this process, you will learn how returns work at Home Depot. In my case, my store, (Poway, CA) is amazing and the people working there are fantastic.

It has a regular Chinese refillable lighter inside. You can't reach the flame adjuster. Have to take the lighter out. To make it bigger. Just max it out. Ehh, it works.

I'm not a big bad review writer, I would rather keep it positive, BUT this is absolutely worse than poor, less than one star. Shame on you Home Depot. It's just a little bic lighter in a larger piece of plastic junk. It also doesn't work. Stop making plastic junk that doesn't work. Terrible product, send it back to china.

i bought this because my cheap refillable lighters were always breaking. here there is just another cheap lighter inside. it's going back asap.

It is fine, the only thing I would have liked was an adjustable flame. It works well for what I purchased it for. Small, pocket sized, just right for me.

Hope nobody will buy this no class lighter.just westing of money.

The torch was not as expected. Kind of flimsy. I gave it to a friend. I needed the fuel for my other torch.

I wish i had of kept my receipt, this fell apart in my hands and the flame never worked.
