MICRO TORCHES REVIEWI was unable to decide on which of the many butane micro torches I should buy from Amazon, and I couldn’t trust the ad claims or flame pictures, so I ended up buying 4 to test then against each other. I have lots of larger torches of various sizes, but I wanted one with the smallest, most focused flame. The pictures in the ads of the flames was not, where pictured at all, was not useful to me or accurate. Price was not a factor for me in this.1. Blazer ES1000CR Spitfirehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EDU5NYMade in Japan. This one has very cumbersome controls. Lighting it is a very awkward process requiring two hands and rolling an interlock forward whole pushing down on a button. Lighting it also requires 3 other controls to be in the right positions. The controls also feel rather flimsy. The flame is OK There is very little variation in the flame between minimum and maximum. It does have a button for continuous operation, but again, it feels rather flimsy. It was also the second most expensive at $53. Really the most expensive when you consider all the extras the $56 Dremel comes with.2. Bernz-O-Matic ST2200Thttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PS9TQIMade in Taiwan. The listing for this product falsely states, in two places, “The product is manufactured in United States”. I did not appreciate the false/out-of-date information. The controls are much less cumbersome than the Blazer. It has a child lockout for the igniter, presumably brought to us courtesy of CPSC. If you don’t have kids and want to get rid of this, it looks like it would be very easy to just snap off a piece of plastic and be done with it.The torch is easy to use. There is not much difference between the minimum and maximum flames. The flame is a bit larger than the Blazer. I wanted the smallest flame, so this was a negative for me. The instructions are printed on the side of the main tube, which is handy. It also includes a soldering iron tip. $323. Dremel 2200-01https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MJW07Z0Made in Taiwan. Includes a decent thin metal box containing lots of accessories. If you don’t already have soldering equipment, this might be the best choice for you. It comes with a detachable stand; all the others come with a fixed base stand. The flame comes out at an upward angle, which all the others have a flame coming out at 90 degrees. This may be a plus or minus for you. This one, like the Bernz-O-Matic, comes with a plastic child lockout that looks like it could be broken off and discarded if you don’t want that feature. This one got second place in the biggest difference between minimum and maximum flames. The maximum flame was the largest of all tested, so if you’re looking for max flame, this is the one for you. At $56, the most expensive, but it comes with a lot more accessories than the others.Both the Dremel and the Bernz-O-Matic could easily be started using one hand, even with the child interlock. The Bernz-O-Matic was probably a bit easier to light with one hand. Both of them featured instant-off flame when you releaser the button, with a lock to engage for continuous flame.4. RAVS RBT018https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5RKWNMS?th=1Made in China. With the first three, you press the igniter button to turn on the gas and light it. The flame stays on only as long as you continue holding down the button (unless you engage the continuous lock). As soon as you release the button (or the continuous lock) the gas is cut off and the flame goes out. Probably more “consumer-safe” for people who don’t really know what they’re doing with a torch.This one is a bit different from the first three, in that it operates more like a typical propane torch. There is a rotary knob that you turn CCW to turn the gas on or CW to turn it off. So you turn the gas on, then press the igniter button to light the gas. You adjust the flame from min to max by using the rotary knob. The flame stays on until you turn the rotary knob fully CW to shut off the gas. So perhaps a bit less “safe” for those who don’t really know how to operate a torch safely.This one also felt a bit heavier and more substantial that the others. Apparently it uses more metal and less plastic. It also had, BY FAR, the most adjustable flame, from less than half what the others could produce (like down to about ¼” flame for some really fine work) to considerably more than their maximum flame. This one was also the cheapest at only $22.It’s also made in China. Normally, I will go to great lengths and spend considerably more to buy USA-made products, with probably Japan second and Taiwan third. However, for MY specific requirements, this Chinese RAVS was the clear choice for me.

As far as small torches go. This one is by far the best I have used thus far. I use it for heating and soldering jewelry and it works great. I have not tried it with anything extremely large. Can't speak to if it produces enough heat for thicker pieces of silver. But works great for two pieces of 1.5mm thick.Has a nice range for adjusting the flame and perfect because it stays on as you work with finicky little pieces and your not trying to re-light a torch in the middle because you accidently let go or forgot to set the lock. I am used to oxy acetylene torches and this fuctions comparably just smaller. Easy to handle one handed too.Bonus points it's cute and green. I have had it almost a year and would buy again in a heartbeat.

We bought this product when we did are epoxy countertops it worked great. Just wish the fuel lasted longer.

Bought this for my hobby cook son. He plays with it, whether needed or not. It's almost like a real lightsaber. The flame is nice and strong, if you buy the fluid for it from Amazon. We tried a professional brand, but it just didn't work the same. The torch is light weight, is a great price for the money and has a locking feature to keep littles from playing with it. The Fallibility makes it a keeper in our kitchen, as 5 seconds later you're filled up. The lifestyle we currently have, makes this a great tools and perfect fit.

IMO, great quality , feels good in my hand and is easy to use, the flame can be adjusted to suit many different scenarios and although his " mini torch" is perfect for small jobs it is NOT a replacement for big map gas, torch jobs. I use it mostly for automotive purposes such as shrink wrapping wiring repairs and I've found it to be the perfect size, not too small, or too BIG either, since it's easy to get it into tight spaces. No more grabbing my big heat gun and trying to find a nearby AC outlet. I love this little guy. (my wife gave it some serious eye-balling when I opened the package, I could tell she would like to have one for her kitchen) the mini torch also comes with several plastic adapters so you are able to refill the torch using larger sized cans of butane which I found to be readily available and inexpensive. (W/M)I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little torch to my family or friends.. Getcha one if your looking for a nice little mini torch.

Absolutely love this thing, the feel of the trigger for the flame is fantastic! Only warning I'd give, but its only because I was dumb, Make sure that you take off the cap cover before filling and turn the torch all the way off, Mine came slightly open, and I didn't realize it till I went to take the cap off & was leaking Butane. But besides that fact, wonderful, easy to use, Great torch quality. I will not be going back to other cheaper torches!
