BLUEFIRE MRS-7014B Trigger Start Gas Welding Torch Head for Propane & MAP PRO Fuel,Extend 1.5" Burning Tube Nozzle Piezo Self Ignition Handhold Cylinder Soldering Brazing Triple-Point Flame

Before purchasing this unit, I read through all comments here, and many complaints are about the ignition and shut-off during usage. After I got mine and been using for days, I did not found anything wrong with this torch, if using it properly. In my opinion, this is a great torch with good price. It is a entry-level torch but still can meet most needs for ordinary people like me (i.e. not professionals making a living on this). I found almost all user complaints are rooted to one thing: that this torch is direct-input torch head just as same as the Bernzomatic WT2301. So the bottle pressure dominates everything: Cannot ignite? Just turn to low the gas knob when pushing the trigger. Shut-off when inverted? Of course it will extinguish when inverted, since it does not have anti-flare and that is why it is cost much less than those high end models. Shut-off during using? Check your environmental temperature, this is probably due to the surrounding temperature is too high and the bottle pressure goes up, it is not the torch’s problem but the bottle’s, bring the bottle to some cool place for a while may solve the problem. Similarly, flame is too small? Maybe this is because you are using it in ice cold winter and the low temperature cause the bottle pressure too low, use some hot water to warm up the bottle. See? Almost all complaints can related to the direct input design and could solved easily. you get what you pay for, and you work with what you have at hand, simple as that

Poor quality, please dont waste your money. The igniter works maybe 30% of the time you have to have the perfect weather condition and have to bottle standing exactly upright at all time and if you move even slightly the flame extinguishs. Makes ot completely unstable. There is now returns for this product so do yourself a favor and go buy a better one this one sucks and now im out $20 and I have to go out and buy a new one. Complete waste of money.

Read through the comments, there were some buyers complain that the torch will extinguish when work at inverted position. Does people never read instructions before using? There is a label on the burner tube, clearly stated that this torch is not designed to be used when tilted over 60 degree. Let me explain this to you, this torch is the direct input design which is more budget-saving, it do not have pressure buffer chamber so the LP gas inside the propane cylinder will flow into the tube when inverted, in liquid form! Especially in winter when the temperature is low, the propane may not fully evaporated and will extinguish the flame at the outlet. If you are looking for a propane torch that can work in inverted condition, you should go for some more expensive models which have the anti-flare function or pressure stabilizer designs. As for me, I have no problem with this torch head, it works perfectly in all conditions it supposed to. Just do not tilt the torch over 60 degrees and everything should be OK.

The lighting mechanism stopped working within a couple of weeks.

This item certainly makes welding much easier. You don’t have to worry about striking it with a match or striker well-made.

It did not work as desired. The flame cannot be adjusted to a very low burn. I had to return to using my old torch that had issues. The new one didn't work any better than my 40 year old one.

Puts out a nice flame, not too big not too small. Electric starts works great too.

To start if there was wind at all I couldn’t get the trigger start or even a lighter to light the flame. You’d go inside light it and slowly walk outside. Pretty frustrating. Second, the gas knob was incredibly sensitive. Barely turn full gas. It should be important to note that I used the green gas bottle not yellow or blue. Not sure how that would change things but all in all not happy with the build quality or functionality.

I don’t think the manufacturers of these propane torches (in general) expect the user to use this torch more than a few times a year so most of them are not very rugged. I use it every day so I will see soon enough how well it holds up. I like the simple compact design of this one. The gas valve operates easily and feels like it shuts off well. The spark lighter works first time every time. I hope it lasts. The shape of the tube tip is good. And the flame is a nice size and shape. One caution: there are 2 models. One for propane and one for MAPP gas. Don’t get the wrong one! I ordered the right one and got the wrong one since they look the same. Blue knob/yellow knob. The return pickup process has repeatedly failed. The carrier set the pickup date and then fail to show up. Repeatedly! Someone needs to fix this.

Very light duty construction, my torch fell over on the floor while working on a vehicle and the entire plastic housing broke. Would recommend spending a bit extra to get something more durable

J’utilise la torche surtout pour allumer le feu de poêle et ça fonctionne très bien. Ça allume à chaque utilisation du premier coup et la valve est très facile à faire fonctionner. Très satisfait

petit ... mais fonctionne tres bien l alumage est rapide et bonne flamme

one is already broken the other still ok
