6 best blowtorches

Soldering lamps, unlike soldering irons, are not designed for fine work with instruments and electronics. These are powerful non-volatile devices - heating is created by burning liquid fuel or gas. Since the heating temperature in many models exceeds 1000˚C, a blowtorch can melt materials of increased hardness.

Before buying you need to know for what purpose the equipment is purchased. There are a lot of offers in the shops - on gasoline, on gas. Gasoline gives a higher temperature, but is quickly consumed, so oil burners are equipped with spacious and fairly heavy fuel cylinders. Gas blowtorches are much easier.

If you need a budget option, you can look at the domestic brands. Many of them are not inferior to import brands. For example, an inexpensive but good gasoline "Bison" is quite suitable for "amateur" works. If the volume work is to be done, the power and increased functionality of the blowtorch are required, it is better to stay on a more powerful device like the Dremel Versaflame that runs on gas. It will cost at times more expensive, but the money spent will fully justify.

Best petrol blowtorches

Gasoline models form an open flame for heating and melting various materials. Such blowtorches are used for large works - warming of frozen pipes, roofing works associated with the melting of roofing material. Sometimes they are used by tourists for cooking lunch in the field, truckers for heating the braking system.

4 SIBRTEH 91442

2 Bison Expert SAMOTLOR SM-15, with cast iron ejector

Gasoline blowtorch from the domestic brand "Bison" is particularly popular. Users are attracted by the low price and good quality. Many people buy it because of the company - “Zubr” is a proven manufacturer of various quality tools and equipment. It has a relatively small size, but one filling is enough for an hour of work.

Reviews are different, but more often users notice a good heating rate, low weight, even in the refilled state, the presence of a repair kit. Of the minuses - the nozzle is often clogged, it has to be cleaned with a needle in the periods between work.

1 Motor Sich LP-2M

The first place in the ranking is the time-tested Motor Sich LP-2M unit. This gasoline soldering iron comes from the time of the USSR. Heavy, simple in construction, reliable and inexpensive unit. The head is not made of cast iron, but a thin-walled metal - this is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. Plus the fact that the heating time is reduced, minus - the head burns faster. The tank is large, two-liter. According to user feedback, one refueling lasts a long time even with a strong flame and a high burning temperature.

The lamp is used for thermal, soldering work, during which open heating is allowed. It can be applied in the household purposes, on production and in road conditions. This model is often chosen by tourists for heating and cooking. But sometimes on the forums they write that there are small factory flaws. For example, a little crooked head layout.

Best gas blowtorches

Compared to gasoline models, gas appliances are more versatile. They can work with hot working parts, with an open flame and heated air. To do this, the package includes a special nozzle and flame arrester. The scope of use is much broader - it is used for the repair of plastic elements, burning wood, carrying out heat shrinking works, defrosting locks, removing paint and varnish products.

The device is made in Italy high-quality, reliable, looks nice, very comfortable in the hand. Feature - the power and stability of the flame, regardless of the position of the included device. Ignites easily, there is a piezo ignition, heats up quickly, the temperature is regulated by a special ring to change the air leaks. But, according to reviews during operation, this ring becomes hot - you simply cannot touch it with your hands, only with gloves.

The lamp is suitable for valve threaded cylinders, but you can purchase an adapter to use it with a collet mount. A big plus is gas pre-heating. Very nice model. The only small minus is that the flame is stable only with medium and large flames, with a small fire the burner strives to go out all the time.

One of the best options for multifunctional stationary soldering gas lamps. You can use an open flame with a catalyst and nozzle for soldering. A nice feature is an interesting design and wide functionality. Powered by liquefied butane. For convenience, the model is equipped with a piezo igniter. It is used for welding, soldering, heat shrinking. With a tank capacity of 22 grams, the device operates in intensive mode for about 75 minutes.

There are many useful options - blocking children from turning on, removable legs for stationary work, blocking the flame level, the choice of temperature mode. The kit includes several nozzles - for soldering, elongation of the torch. In terms of functionality, the lamp resembles a professional model.Users note the ease of recharging, a very short heating time, ease of use. Of the minuses, they call only the rather high cost.
