Overview
A flexible hose links the torch head to a canister carried in a belt holster, so only the head is held in the hand. Brass regulation, a stainless steel burn tube and a trigger igniter complete it.
Carrying the fuel on the belt cuts the weight in the hand, which eases repeated and overhead jobs. The listing gives dimensions and weight without units, and no heat rating or fuel canister is mentioned.
Who it's for
Pros and DIYers heating pipe overhead or in awkward spots benefit from the lighter hand-held head. Users who want a simple screw-on torch, or need a heat rating, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Fuel rides on the belt, lighter in hand
- Trigger start for one-handed use
- Lock button for finger-free heat
- Brass regulator burns in any direction
- Dimension and weight units not given
- Fuel canister not mentioned
- Hose adds a snag point
- Heat output not listed
Performance notes
Moving the fuel to a holster reduces the weight on the wrist during overhead work. The regulator lets the flame burn in any direction, and the swirl pattern concentrates heat. Hose length sets reach.
