 A great multi-purpose torch I purchased another torch through Amazon. My original one lasted almost 20 years. I searched the local hardware stores, but they only had Chinese knockoffs. I use the torch to clean up weeds around patio stones, gardens, and along my rural driveway. The torch also works great for starting my Weber charcoal BBQ. You can avoid using the charcoal lighter fluid, PLUS it starts the coals quickly and cleanly. The torch uses your own refillable 20 lb propane tank to save you money and waste. If you should need replacement O rings in the future, you can get them at your local propane or hardware store. Support quality American made products. The job you save may be your own. So useful This is a terrific "green" alternative to chemical weed-killers. Just pass the business end of this propane torch over the leaves of your weeds and they wilt within a few days. Some of your tougher weeds may take repeated applications. It bears mentioning that if your weeds are in mulch, do this on a wet day and have a hose handy, just in case. I've set my mulch smoldering a couple of times. Also beware of any dry leaves you missed during Fall cleanup. They will make a merry blaze, too. This is not only terrific for cleaning out the weeds sprouting up through cracks in the sidewalk or driveway, but also clearing out weedy spots against chain link fences. Terrifically useful tool. Smoking them weeds. This is a affordable weed burner, not as nice as an infrared burner, but at less than half the cost, it is a great deal. It is not necessary to burn the weed, just heat it till the color of the leaves change, wait a few days and the weed will be dead. It works better if the ground is wet and the weed is turgid (full of water). Plus it is fun to watch them die and a lot healthier that spaying chemicals everywhere. Wonderful, Does way more than what I bought it for. I purchased this to help control weeds in my garden without using chemicals. Works great. You do have to use care since it is an open flame but if you follow the instructions and put a call into their customer service line for tips you'll have great success. You do have to flame several times over the season but way easier and quicker than pulling weeds. I've had my torch for almost a year and have used it for many other things. It worked great for ice removal off of my steps and my husband uses it for heating up the block on his tractor and starting pit fires. I can't wait until next Spring so I can start killing those unwanted weeds. | |||||||||
