welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today we're gonna have some fun and I'm going to show you a
new product that I bought myself and this is one of them butane torches I'm gonna go over here
we're going to take a look at it on the bench I'm going to show you some things that it can do and
I'm gonna mention some things that it can't so let's take a look and let's see how this thing
operates well let's start off right here with the instructions and there's the part number right
there and you can see how it goes on the butane cylinder and this is a culinary torch but can
also be used you know for soldering it can be used for all kinds of things and you know add color and
texture to food blistering and skinning I'm not too much of an idea of using this for skinning
but okay so we're gonna get to it right here and this is what it looks like right there and we'll
we'll put it on a cylinder and they're showing here you know for on falling pipes and I don't
know like putting grill marks on top of casseroles and that kind of thing but I won't be using it for
that okay so let's just take a look a word I'm set up here okay this is going to be interesting
right here but this here right here is my butane stove that I have and this butane cylinder right
here is not the same as this this one here is only to charge up you know like torches like
this one or this one and well this one now this is a propane torch and that has a huge downfall but
I'm going to show you that too a little bit of an experiment right here and I'm gonna show you how
it works on heat shrink and we're gonna do some soldering and if you take a look at that solder
that's been sitting there for about two hours look how it all dried up and I guess has kind of well
it's just dry it up so we're gonna get to that first notice thing I got to do is I got to hook
this thing up and put it on this butane cylinder right here so let's do that next okay let's just
take this out of pocket fancy what I am going to do is I'm going to show you the bottom side
of this and if you take a look at the can you can see on the can right there you can see there's a
cut opening in it so I don't know how this fits on here but I'll show you right here that's the
first time for me to as you could see on the canned yeah there's like a notch if I get you
in the shot here the notched fits right in there so you just put it on push down and turn and I'm
gonna have to that's all it does it just sits in there like that wow I would have thought it like
would've you know what I just circled all the way around or something you know but yeah it just sits
in there like that Wow okay so this is the gas valve here I'll just open up there she is right
there and you can turn it down turn it up okay now let's turn it upside down now there's a reason why
I'm turning this upside down well yeah that works pretty good so it shut it off takes a bit to die
down that starts nice I like that and it's got a nice plane you can't see it really good but that
flame has got to be well yeah it'll part of my finger off about this fire maybe 10 inches look
at that baby I really like that okay so let's do some soldering next before I get to the soldering
I just thought I'd demonstrate to you here is the propane torch and you'll see the reason why
propane has its limitations and that's it right there you tip a propane bottle upside down yeah
the flames gonna go out because not okay I'll move this out of the way and let's get soldering
okay I'm not the best solder in the world but you know why I always saw
her from the bottom I don't know we use guys do but yeah I saw
her from the bottom when I see the flux starting to melt I know it's almost time
there you go right there that's Auditor nice and good right there well there's some heat-shrink
here you can see I'll just moved along here and my ideal use for melting the heat shrink or shrinking
it down is to use an electric heat gun but you can't always have electricity handy so let's
take a look and let's see all this does I'll turn the heat down a bit I mean of course you wouldn't
want to blast and heat either would you and let's just see what this does a nice soft flame
on there look at that there you go you didn't melt it all down put a bunch of holes in it or
anything just as easy as that I wonder how many of you have these little these little clickers
here you know these little butane ones and yes you can fill them up and you get like three four
ten box depending on the brand but I pretty much given up on these because I tell you what if you
want to start a fire well these are pretty much useless most of the time because the wind just
blows it out I mean it's very frustrating though with something like this do you think the wind is
going to blow that out I don't think so and of course you can tilt it up you can do whatever
you want with it and you know what I think this is the ideal thing but I'm gonna show you how I start
fires up on my place I've gotten a an incinerator and of course I got a fire pit and a lot of times
you want to start a fire no no I ain't using any of these scraping rocks and you know sparks
flying and chips I go right for the burner and I'll show you what's next so let's take a look
that's it right there that's how I start a fire it's very simple bang starting to gas away you
go you know I'm gonna show you exactly how these operate these fire starters so did you see how
fast this thing started them up boom that's it now before I get to the fire starters just want to let
you know there's a downfall to these and that is that they really don't work that good at below
freezing temperatures now propane itself doesn't work that great below freezing temperatures but
it works a lot better than butane I won't have any use for using this when it's below freezing
temperatures anyway so for me it's just fine and I like how easy that just goes on and only takes
seconds to put on oh I paid like $20 for this and for me guys I'm loving this okay so I'll talk to
you about this fire starters that I use and all these are is from my different projects I have
around the house here where I use cedar and these are just cedar strips and all I do is just put
about an inch and a half of paint thinners in here and or barse all I don't like using diesel fuel I
used to use diesel fuel years ago but of course you know if it gets on your fingers now you can
take a good look at these and you can see like they're they're pretty much dry so they've been
sitting in here for about four days and if I lift one up for you here yeah you can see that there's
it's wet there's a drip on the bottom there but I can grab these at any time and not leave any
residue on my fingers or anything and I just use the new starter to just light one of these
up just one and that's enough light pretty much any fire so thanks for joining me here today and
these guys let me know you think one of these have you used one of these before I won't be using it
for cooking and that kind of stuff but I think it's just terrific lights every time love it so
you guys let me a comment below and let me know if you've ever used one of these before what do you
consider getting one like I don't sell anything on my channel and if you take a look at most places
the only thing I recognize that they're all the same is on the side there just says torch
and I showed you the mod lumber so if you want to google it well you can just google yourself crazy
there right okay that's pretty wallet thanks for joining me here today if you haven't seen
this channel before you want to subscribe see some more reviews in the future Cheers
you
