Performance
The anti-flare system preheats gas before it hits the burner, keeping the flame stable and consistent even when temperatures drop or the canister runs low. Piezo ignition fires instantly with one click, and the flame control valve offers precise adjustment from low to full power. At 1500°C max temperature, it handles campfire ignition, stove lighting, and heat-shrink repairs without hesitation. The torch can rotate 360 degrees thanks to the preheating system, and it works upside down when needed. Stainless steel and heat-resistant plastic construction means it takes abuse without falling apart.
