Sondiko Butane Torch, Refillable Soldering Torch with Visible Fuel Window

I was hesitant about buying one for a little while because I just didn't want to spend the money. This came in at around $18 when I purchased it and while not terrible, I wasnt sure it would actually be useful. I am glad I just went ahead and picked one up finally though. The build quality is solid and the mechanical controls are easy to use and feel like they'll hold up well. The overall size is a great fit for my hand and the torch stands up easily on its own for storage. Fueling was a little messy but that could just be my fault for not being sure how to do it properly. I do like that it has a section to show you remaining fuel level, you can clearly see the liquid inside of the unit. I think its a good value for the money whether you want to use it for cleaning up some craft projects or lighting candles or using it in cooking. The flame strength has been great and it's very easy to ignite. It has a little swivel bar for you to adjust the amount of fuel being fed to it, I primarily use it at 50%. Overall happy, its sped up my workflow significantly and is working great.

FOUR YEARS of many ignitions. I leave it on idle position otherwise it has a big flame wide open. It has no leaks, been refilled many times. The site glass is useful to know when you are topped off. 3/4 full is good enough considering pressure of a full tank that this thing sports. I went thru three lighters before this one. Price is still about the same and comparable to others. It's a GOOD BUY. lol time...end of review. If I say locking mechanism, enjoyment, compatibility and heat output, the AI gives me a good grade. Not to mention Fuel retention, that runs the gambit of AI words to use. Sure would be nice if AI sent me things to test!

I love this little torch. It feels good in your hands, easy to use, a trigger, the best kind. Good price, easy to fill. Quality is good, should last a while.

Works great, nice flame, easy to use. Sometimes have trouble refilling it more than other torches I've used before though.

Cheap price

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!!

One of the best torches I have ever bought, lights things on fire and I use it for my firework shows. The adjustable flame is also very nice.

I have a Benzomatic torch for a couple years prior. I needed a second for an assistant on a job using heat shrink connectors. This was cheaper and lights easier.

C'est mon deuxième le 1er fonctionne encore très bien (1 pour le poël a bois , l'autre pour le barbecue) en plus il est solide.

Great torch, I've been using it for soldering, I like that the thumb button controls the flame, as I often have to put the torch down in between to adjust the solder etc... and i hate it when they are still burning until you switch it off which is tricky when you have hot metals and usuallyholding it in the other hand with tweezers, this one you just take your thumb off and it flame stops. No gas wasted, no burning torch next to you!!
