"I'm very pleased at how well and simple this little torch is."
"Very nifty compact torch set for precision soldering and brazing."
"The tips are made all copper, even the compression fitting (the bulbous part under the ring that turns down on the torch handle. The housing, which you are supposed to be able to slide down to access the hard tubes on the handle, doesn't slide down - because the brass colored fittings the hold the lines to the handle are made as one piece (the Smith is to separate fittings - one for each hose)."

"Comparing this to a high dollar arc air unit, if buy this one every time."
"These air arcs are exactly the same as airco brand except the anchor brand is less than half the price you would pay for an airco."
"I bought this to use with 1/8 rods and a 250 amp welder dos'nt hold the 1/8 rods very well would work perfect with larger rods."

"I have used an "Alaskan Pipeline" size propane torch for years to kill weeds along chain link fencing, to light brush piles, and fire up a barbeque pit. While searching the net for a weed burner for my daughter I ran across this Bernzomatic 19425 JT850 Self-Igniting Outdoor Torch. When weed burning just pass the flame over the grass and weeds enough to, cause a slight darkening of the coloration with the heat (rupturing the cell walls in plant) and move on."
"I called Bernzomatic Customer Service who suggested that I vacuum out the tube as my problem sounded like something was restricting the air / propane flow. The torch appears to not have good design features: Air is mixed in below black handle rather than simply at the bottom of the tube. Gasket at female end of handle that mates with propane bottle appears to be a natural fiber similar to cork which may flake off. Tube melted off when I purposely tested as listed below to try to isolate blow out issue which in my opinion was the air / propane mixture ratio and pressure. Tested piezo self starter which showed good spark when viewed from bottom of tube. Flipped black tube handle upside down and opened propane valve completely. Used sewing straight pin for hemming to verify valve body propane hole not plugged. Replaced natural material gasket at female end of torch with a synthetic non flaking gasket from a propane bottle long term storage stop leak cap. My experiment resulted in the torch being too hot and overheating tube beyond designed safety temperature. Completely disassembled propane valve and took photos and wrote up this review. Comment to Bernzomatic: I think you have some problems that you should check into: improve user manual to include re-lighting details and troubleshooting details, design of product, manufacturing quality control, and verify that some Chinese company is not impersonating your product on Amazon and selling garbage. The user manual should be improved to give clear safety instructions including eye protecting against overheated exploding rocks, detailed troubleshooting steps, and detailed cleaning and servicing instructions. You should provide refurbishment service or replacement regardless of whether product is bought online or in a retail store. Comment to buyer: I would not take a risk on this product no matter how many good write ups you read. I did some research online and decided to buy a Harbor Freight weed burning torch by Greenwood item number 91037."
"However, after running 1/2 to 3/4 pound of propane I noticed the flame was not as focused, and then the tip dropped off 6 inches up from the bottom."
"Keeps shutting off after 15 minutes of use."
