Butane Torch, Kitchen Blow Torch Cooking Torch Lighter Refillable with Security Lock and Adjustable Flame for Creme Brulee, Baking, BBQ, DIY Soldering (Butane Gas Not Included) (Silver)

First the pro's: I was surprised that it was as big as it is. But that was a good surprise! The 901 torch seems well made and sturdy enough for daily use. It fills up well and the flame adjustment works perfect. The lock mechanism is easy to engage and very handy! Now the con's: I received this torch in mid-January and as I write this it is mid-March. Something in the ignition mechanism no longer works. I have to use a regular lighter to light the torch. My return window closed a month ago. So now I will have to spend more money a get a different torch.

I have been wanting one of these Butane Torches for years. I finally decided to buy myself one to make some desserts for a picnic. The outcome was amazing! I make s'mores cupcakes and I toasted the marshmellows on top. Then I made coconut cupcakes and toasted the coconut on top. My cupcakes were a huge hit! I can't wait to use it on more things! It was so easy to fill and use. I absolutely LOVE it and would recommend it to anyone. I love that you can adjust the flame. And as an added bonus, I got a spatula and brush! Don't pass this up - BUY IT!!! I'm a review reader before I buy - THIS is the one to get!

Such a great torch for an amazing value! Not only is the torch great, it also came with a little spatula and basting brush. I was worried it would be difficult to refill/add the butane since this is the first time I've used a torch - but it was actually super quick and easy. Not sure how long the flame will last when it's filled but super pleased with the torch!

This is the first torch I ever used so I really have no basis of comparison. I bought this based on reviews on Amazon. Since I have no experience with these, I can't say for sure if this is a superior product, but it certainly fits my needs. Instructions are posted on the back of the box that are clear. I would have appreciated information on how to know how much butane to use. I looked on You Tube and a video said you can feel how full it is by the coldness of the handle. The handle on this model is either made of, or encased by, acrylic so I couldn't feel any temperature difference. I had to just guess. Other than that, it's easy to use, light weight and fits nicely in my hand. As another reviewer pointed out, do not use this on a high setting as it does produce a full on fireball. So be extra sure you aren't near anything flammable. The instructions say to start it with the lever set between the + and - on the slide. I would advise starting it on the lowest setting. The slide has no resistance and moves very quickly, hence the fireball. I would prefer more tension on the control, but now that I've used it I know to be very gentle with the lever. They also enclosed a small rubber spatula and a nice small rubber baster. I bought this to use for an art project. However, it's first christening was to make "indoor smores.". It worked very nicely and I was able to toast my marshmallows to perfection. Overall, I'm thinking this was a good purchase.

This is replacing another torch (I use for Creme Brulee). I like the easyness of this torch, no "child lock" to remember to keep pushing everytime you want flame. Good adjustment dial for small to big flame, lights first time everytime with nice large push button. Price can't be beat and looks way better than my other torch.
