table top torch on the cheap

eber · 01-27-2010, 09:23 PM

I figured I should let you all know about a great deal on a table top torch that I just picked up.

Harbor Freight has them on sale right now for $6.99 (in the stores), my only issue is that they are orange but they do work very nicely so far. original price is $9.99 which is still a steal IMO

PS. I am not affiliated with them in any way, just passing along a good deal

Good info! I've been looking at those Ronson Tech Torches at Wal-Mart. Bout $27 though. This may be better. I live 5 minutes from a Harbor Freight.

forgot to add the sale tag said the price is valid through 2/2/10

That is awesome. I love the color. I need to look into this.

FWIW, I've had several and neither lasted more than 6 months. Hope your lasts longer.

Never had the HF but had a burnsomatic that looked just like it. The rubber gasket on the fill valve went bad and I can't find one that I trust to replace it. for 6.99 how can you go wrong. That is a little better than a buck a month.

I have one at the camphouse, works good except the fuel adjustment valve is touchy I guess you could say. No problems with it lighting or anything just hard to adjust flame on the low side. Well worth the $6.99!

If you want a premium one Solder-it brand is top of the line.

yeah I am noticing that the low flame adjustments are quite touchy but again for $6.99 I am still happy

Bought mine this evening. Filled it and it works fine. Have to wait til it warms up a bit to try it on a cigar.
