How are those pocket butane torches you see on ebay?

[Joony]

looks pretty cool...might come in handy someday, i've always wanted to weld things together...how long do these last on its little tank of butane before needing a refill?

i have a slight variation of that lighter that i bought for soldering in a bind. I KNOW they don't get hot enought to weld with, and they are difficult to solder with due to the flame size. Fire is hard to work with when soldering wires in a tight space, so unless you're keeping it as a novelty item or for a cigarette lighter, pass on this auction.

probably not good for welding but be careful man, you can NOT always see the flames when its turned on!

They need refilling very often. Get a real torch instead. These are a ripoff.

It's the choice of discriminating crackheads and freebasers who think they're still in the 80s.
