Disappointing. Although I bought this torch a while ago, I've only used it a couple of times but when I tried to use it today, it didn't work.

Fill with standard aerosol butane gas lighter refill (which you can buy from most supermarkets, tobacconists, hardware stores and news agent). PLEASE NOTE: Butane gas is NOT the same as lighter fluid - you must make sure you get gas, not fluid. One-handed Operation&Vertical heating mode: The Cooking torch can be operated by one hand, design of the active switch is more ergonomic. You can free up another hand to do other things. With graphic design of torch base, when you use continuous flame mode, the torch can be placed on a flat surface for vertical heating.

Item added to basket:

This is so much better than I one I borrowed from my husband. Lighter and you and set it down, easy to fill.

This is the only blowtorch I've ever owned, and it does everything I need it to. It's easy to fill, easy to use, and the stand on the bottom comes in very handy. Glad to see it comes with a safety catch too. Also, the metal nozzle of the torch gets hot. Hence it is best to use the supplied stand when you turn this off or it will tend to rest on the work surface. Please note - You must direct the flame at a45° angle, and with a distance of about 5 centimetres from your silver. If you do not fire at the correct angle you can cause damage to the torch.*Fit ALL Small Butane Tanks】Do not know what butane gas tank to buy?
