Bernzomatic Backyard Torch with Trigger-Start Ignition and Adjustable Brush Flame, JT850

lightweight, easy to move about and aim. Makes quick work of weeds in rocky and hard surfaces.

Its so controllable, therefore I have a solid sense of confidence I will operator safely. The larger units scare me. Even though I consider this dangerous if not mindfully operated, the products attributes are predictable, containable and manageable.

I live my torch, but I lost the screw on tip. Any info in me buying a new tip would be great. Thank you. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Works as advertized! Easy to use!

Great item. Would buy it again and recommend it to anyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I replaced a cheaper weed burner with a Bernz-O-Matic from the local hardware store in Nikiski, Alaska. I've tried several kinds of weed burners with mixed, usually disappointing results. This one was easy to use, precise, and efficient, really the best weed burner I've tried. I quickly burnt off even hemp nettle, a dreadful invasive weed that chokes out everything else, while still being able to avoid harming the garlic that it was growing among. It's a little on the spendy side, but it's worth every penny, especially on a small market farm like mine.

Friend bought this item and loved it so I bought it happyly

It worked on the weeds that I couldn't pull up. Kills the roots so they don't come back.

Much easier than pulling weeds by hand or using chemicals. The only shortcoming is it will only run about 5 minutes. Once it gets hot it doesn't want to stay lit. I'm not sure what physics happens but when it gets hot you need to turn it off, wait for it to cool before using again or it keeps going out as soon as you light it. I've tried adjusting the gas flow up and down once it's hot but no luck, it just lights, burns for a second, then goes out once it's hot.

Can't really answer these questions honestly as the product arrived broken and has not yet been replaced.
