Overview

A pressure-regulated burner is fed through the trigger on this Bernzomatic head, so pulling lights the flame and releasing shuts it off. The tip swirls the flame for concentrated heat and burns in any direction.

One-pull ignition, a hold button and a replaceable brass tip suit soldering and general heating jobs. The copy gives the head weight but no heat rating, and the brand line shows IRWIN in the maker text.

Who it's for

Plumbers, hobbyists and workshop users who light and shut off a torch often will use the trigger and lock. Buyers wanting a listed BTU output should check the maker.

Performance notes

Pressure regulation holds the flame steady even when the torch points down or sideways. The swirl flame concentrates heat on the work, and the brass tip stays cooler than the flame. Fuel type decides the peak temperature.
