Sondiko Butane Torch Lighter with Visible Fuel Window, Refillable Soldering Torch with Adjustable Flame for Welding, Resin Art, Industrial (Butane Gas Not Included)

I have been meaning to purchase a culinary torch for quite a while, and I am so glad I did. There are so many times that I wanted to just brown the top of a dish without having to go back into the oven. This works really well and browns in seconds. I have over done it once already but still learning ways to make it useful. So far the most common use is with breakfast. I stopped trying to turn the eggs for "over medium" and just let them stay a little longer on the bottom before putting them on the plate and using the torch to lightly finish the top. Way more consistent and appealing. It also is great for going a nice crispy top to sausage patties; melt butter on pancakes and biscuits after they are on the plate. This makes routine cooking more fun. This torch is easy to handle and makes quick work of everything. Not a necessity, but a nice kitchen item to finish off your handiwork. While the really pure butane is for culinary, it still can be used for any other application at home, but not visa-versa.

I use this small torch mainly for electrical shrink tube and fusing cut ends on nylon straps. It is very easy to use and the flame can be adjusted over a wide range. It is easy to fill from a standard butane container. For me, the best thing about this torch is the lack of unneeded "safety features". To use it you squeeze the handle and it lights. No separate little things to push or move out of the way. An excellent tool at a moderate price.

I used it for cooking and small home projects and it worked really well. The flame is strong and stable, and I liked that it can be adjusted easily. It also feels comfortable to hold and not too heavy. The fuel indicator is helpful for knowing how much gas is left so you do not run out unexpectedly. I would just recommend reading the instructions carefully before filling it the first time.

Got unlucky with this one but they gave me a full refund without even needing to return it so can't be mad. It is a nice torch for kitchen use.

OK so this is my second torch of this type. First one, while I was using it to shrink wrap a small wire splice, I heard a high pitched POP almost a crack and the whole thing burst int0 flames. I contacted amazon and they said it was not returnable [read the fine print] but they were very helpful and refunded me the cost. So I went out and found a difference seller and purchased same type with very littler difference in look. but had a much higher review and cost a couple more bucks. Well right on cue another crack almost pop, but I stopped using it right away. So, I disassembled this one and found something very dangerous. the 2nd photo is the feed tube that goes from the valve to the drefuser on the torch head. this tube is not made of good material and is prone to splitting which will allow the flame to barely stay lit but allows the majority of the gass to leak out inside the housing till it catches the flame. This is very scary because your whole hand a area you are working will flash over in a huge fireball. It was enough to catch my facehair and paper towels on the bench to light. I was looking over the work at te time and the fireball rose straight up into my face singing my face hair [chest hair, mustache, eye brows, eye lashes, and sideburns. Plus receive a very light 1st degree burns [very light, lasted barely 2 days] on cheeks lips and forehead . disassembly is easy and the bad parts was obvious as soon as you pulled the trigger. I was lucky enough to have some Cox fuel line for an micro .025 engine that fit like a glove. plus I glued the h0ose to the brass fittings for extra safeguard. Now it works and I feel safe. Do not trust these torches [ any of them] they can very easily blow a flame ball at your face and if I did not have firefighting training, I would have most defineately freaked out, because all you could see is a fireball at you nose!!

Works great no leaks. Great flame and turns on almost every click. Doesn't seem to leak at all

I love this torch. It’s one of those tools that just feels right the moment you pick it up. The ergonomics are excellent. It fits comfortably in my hand, feels stable, and gives me a strong sense of control while using it. That matters when you’re working with an open flame. One design feature I genuinely appreciate is the bowl-shaped base. It almost acts like an inverted cup. When I refill it and a little excess butane spits out, which happens with most refillable torches, the expelled fuel collects in that base instead of getting on my hands or the surrounding surface. That feels like an intentional safety feature, not an afterthought. The adjustable gas control is another standout. I can easily dial the flame up or down depending on what I need. That flexibility allows me to focus on keeping the bowl moving smoothly and evenly while I’m using it, rather than worrying about the flame being too aggressive or too weak. I can concentrate on the technique instead of fighting the tool. For the price, it performs extremely well. Highly recommended.

Every time I've clicked the trigger it has ignited. No annoying safeties. Pull the trigger -> Get flame. 👍 I waited to review until after a few fills, as this is usually when butane lighters get issues. I've filled it reliably to a few mm below the marked max line a handful of times so far without issue. A little sloppy, but nothing crazy. (Unable to fill all the way to the printed Max line.) "Lock on" button is easy to reach one handed. Flame length slider works well. The slider is easy to accidently move with your thumb while picking up/using it, but that means it's also easy to (intentionally) adjust it while using it, so that's a preference if it's a pro or con. Very pleased with this torch. Hopefully it'll last several years.

Excellent quality!

Fonctionne très bien de bonne qualité

Really impressed with this blowtorch. It feels well built in hand and the flame is strong and consistent, giving good control whether you’re caramelising, finishing dishes, or using it for light DIY tasks. The fuel gauge is a nice touch because it actually helps you keep track instead of running out unexpectedly mid-use. It also lights easily and adjusts smoothly, so you can dial in the flame size without any fuss. Safety features give a bit more confidence when using it, and overall it just feels like a reliable tool rather than something cheap or fiddly. It’s one of those products that quickly becomes useful far more often than you expect. Overall, a brilliant bit of kit that performs really well. Easy 5 stars.

I am very impressed with the quality and functionality of this kitchen torch; the one-handed operation is incredibly convenient and the safety lock provides great peace of mind. The adjustable flame allows for precision whether I'm caramelizing sugar on a creme brulee or searing a steak; the fuel gauge is a brilliant feature that ensures I never run out of butane unexpectedly. It feels well-balanced and the build quality is rugged and durable; it's a reliable tool that has already become a favorite in my kitchen. It fits all standard butane tanks and is very simple to refill; it's a high-performance torch that delivers professional results for a very reasonable price.
