TBTeek Butane Torch with Fuel Gauge T907, One-hand Operation Kitchen Torch Lighter with Adjustable Flame for BBQ, Baking, Brulee Creme, Crafts and Soldering(Butane Gas Not Included)

This kitchen torche is easy to use and works every time. It comes with a safety block on the trigger so that it can't be accidentally lit.

I've been cooking for decades and never owned a kitchen torch. My daughter likes to experiment in the kitchen and she has about every tool you can imagine. She's been using a touch for years and convinced me to get one when I served cremé brulée one night. Well, the sales were on, so why not. We shopped the various options and the features on this one are the best of the cut. It's also cute in an industrial looking kind of way.I have small hands, this torch is small enough to handle very comfortably. It requires very little effort to light it up. On that note, I included a close up picture of the trigger. One picture shows you the trigger. The other picture shows you the trigger with a black thing on it. The black thing is factory installed to protect the trigger during shipping handling, you don't need to keep it. It prevents the trigger from movement. I keep it on the trigger when I'm not using the torch. First, my husband has alzheimer, and it is unlikely, but he might decide to mess with the torch. The black thing will prevent him from lighting the torch, the same might apply to children or seniors in the home. I haven't found a storage home for the torch yet, but if it lands in a drawer, the black thing can prevent accidental pressure on the trigger, thus releasing/empting the butane. For what it's worth, that's my safety advice. I included a picture of the butane level window. Most torches don't have an indicator that shows how much butane is left. I think you need to know that. Nothing is more frustrating than finding out that the touch is empty just when you need it and should have ordered more butane.A brief word about the butane. I included a picture of the Lotus butane because I didn't know what I know now about butane. I'm not going into it here, but this is by far the best butane to use in your torch. My genius daughter spent 30 minutes telling me why Lotus rather than any other brand. I trust my know-it- all researcher. You will need to buy butane when you buy the torch, same with most other torches.The price range on torches is wide, spending more is silly and spending less will likely not have the helpful features. This torch has a stay-on button so you don't have to hold the trigger during use. It also has flame control, always start on the lowest setting, then decide how much flame you want.It's cute, it's small, and it's a safe tool. It is not a toy for children, and it shouldn't be left where children can get it!I highly recommend this torch. I like it and it has all the easy, helpful features that a torch should have.

I found the flame a little too small to brûlée sugar. Instead, I use it to start my fireplace. I read some reviews that said this leaks, mine does not.PROS:Easy to useEasy to refillReasonable priceGood flame controlFunctional for some thingsCONS:The flame is almost too small to brûlée sugarYou have to be careful when using it not to lock it, or turn the flame all the way down

I've been wanting a kitchen torch for so long and finally decided to look into them to make a purchase. I did take my time, as there are so many options out there. I got it for making creme brulee. I was tired of broiling the sugar on top and sometimes burning it. This torch is very easy to use, it seems to be well made, has some weight to it so it's not cheap looking, has different settings for how low/high you want the flame, a push button to lock your flame in so you don't have to keep holding the button in while using. The only thing I wish that it had come with was the butane. Not having used one before, I wasn't sure what size I needed. It almost took me longer to find that than it did the torch. You don't need to go with an expensive can of the butane. It's all the same. I've used the torch about five times now and I haven't noticed the butane getting lower. Seems to go a long way. Extremely safe to use, and the price couldn't be better for the great performance and high quality.

This is a great torch. This can be used for multiple purposes. I've seared steaks, sweated copper pipe, and started charcoal with it. The adjustable flame is key. I would not recommend using this for sweating a lot of pipes but, I was able to take care of 3 connections and still had a 1/4 of the fuel left. It is easy to fill up, you need to apply good pressure to do so but, fills up in 3 seconds. NOTE, keep the trigger guard in a safe place as it is much needed to avoid the torch from activating.

Item works great and came at a very reasonable price

Creates a steady blue torch flame. Variable flame size adjustment. Locks in the on position for a hands free flame. Sturdy frame with some parts made of metal. Flared outward base of torch makes it very stable and harder to tip over. Has a view window for fuel level. Cannot fill this torch to full or max mark on the fuel level window. Fills to a certain point and then sprays liquid butane everywhere. I tried to fill to max mark with various tips and using two different cans of butane fuel made by different companies thinking it was a connection issue. But no, the torch itself purges fuel past a certain pressure and will not even fill to the max mark. There is a pamphlet included with the torch describing difficulties fueling up the torch. Lastly there is no lock on the trigger to keep it from accidently being pushed and igniting the torch if it is tossed in with other materials and moved around like in a drawer, toolbox, storage, purse or wherever, or young kids get it in their hands. This is a desktop or shelf only torch, which is where mine will stay, because other than no safety lock and the refueling issues, it is a nice torch. I will buy a different torch for going mobile.

ths torch is easy to operate. I have limited hand strengthand the trigger startr is great. Stands uright on its base. Filling with butane is not difficult. Buy some at a local store as the torch doesnot come filled with fuel. Ibought this for hobby use but it will work great for making a crust on creme brulee.
