LEXIVONButane Torch Multi-Function Kit | Premium Self-Igniting Soldering Station with Adjustable Flame | Pro Grade 125-Watt Equivalent (LX-771)

This thing is great. I used the heat gun attachment most of the time for heat shrink. This thing put down way more hot air than a similar model Bernzomatic that cost twice as much. Very happy with it, but could have done without the safety latch. I am guessing the safety is a big brother gov requirement, but I did remove it by unscrewing the cover at the top and carefully reassembled. It lived in a shop with zero kids around and plenty hazards way worse then a butane torch.Please note I used past tense. Just yesterday the ignition pooped the bed - but it is almost 2 years old now and I used it probably 10 times a day, each for 60 seconds, at about 2 or 3 days per week - so whatever that breaks down to - 30 minutes run time per week. I am pretty sure I beat the snot out of it. The metal and shields got really hot.I am still pretty happy. I am wondering if the excess heat from the hot air attachment cooked part of the ignition system. BUT for $39 I'll just buy another. Luckily I had a backup at home bc I liked it so much I bought one for my personal tool chest. There are other butane heat guns out there (a one red one which I really like, has a flex head, but it's too big and hot for small stuff) but good ones are north of $70 and they don't throw down as much hot air.Again, the Bernzomatic is nice, but it was over twice the price and doesn't throw down a lot of hot air. To heat shrink 2 each 24 AWG wires, it takes 2 to 3 times longer to shrink with the Bernz model. I'd take this product over the Bernz any day. Can't beat it for the price either.

Works amazing! I or out for my glass and small metal and it handles with easy! Easy to use, sturdy, and works with no issues so far!

A little quirky , the flame does weird stuff sometimes , but I may not have pure enough butane , all in all good and cool with the attachments .

Arrived with zero damage to device. Organized storage case is a nice touch. Looks good and works well started right up after adding the specified butane. Lightweight and adjustable heat levels. Over happy with purchase

This is a well-built and versatile device. Although a 5-star product, there is room for improvement making this a 6-star item:1. Add a fuel gauge window.2. Make the safety lock optional or do away with it completely. IMO, the safety switch is unecessarry and frankly a nuisance because it must be engaged on every ignition attempt (it may take multiple tries to light). The ignition thumb button requires a decent amount of force to depress and extinguishes as soon as it is released. If a child has the strength to depress & HOLD that button and the wherewithal to simultaneously engage the flame lock, then the child would certainly have no problem figuring out the safety switch. The good news is, this switch can be easily removed by removing 5 Phillips head screws, carefully removing the housing, and removing the switch and the associated small spring (see pic). Reinsert the larger spring, align the thumb button into the recess, and reassemble.Regardless, still a great product with many uses. I mainly bought it to heat & soften ½" underground irrigation hose lines for repair using barb fittings. Yes a heat gun can perform the same, but, the convenience of not needing to drag out a 75' extension cord and the small form factor when huddled in a small hole makes this an ideal device. There are certainly cheaper solutions, but the build quality and versatility of this unit sold me. It's excellent and I look forward to trying out the other features it offers.By the way, I have two of these units and burn Zippo (from Amazon) butane in one and Bernzomatic (from Home Depot) in the other. Both burn fine with no issue and produce the same flame output. Neither of these butane products make any mention about the "refined" purity and and I'm a bit of a skeptic re the 3x, 5x, 11x, 99x "refined" no-name products based on some of their reviews. My only advice is to be sure the stem of the butane product correctly fits the torch. In the case of the two products I've used, no adapter is required, although I believe the Bernzomatic provided the best fit and least amount of lost butane during the filling process.

Amazing!! Honestly it works great

Love it! Perfect for the applications that I need to perform. I'll be working in a tight area, very little room to maneuver.

A lot of lying liars in here. They must have spent a fortune on these shills.What it does right, it does well. It's a decent flame that is perfectly what I need, when it doesn't randomly go out for some unknown reason.The tools it comes with and the case? Lovely. the burled handle? Great. It's weight is excellent.Where it is lacking: Do you have 3 hands? because you need 3 hands to use this thing. If you're right handed, you can definitely deactivate the safety and start it with one hand (even though it has never started on the first try since I got it) even though it's not at all conveniently placed.You can definitely get your thumb to the hands free lock... but there is no way you can push that slider while keeping your finger firmly on the trigger without a second hand (I have big, strong hands and I can't do it).As I mentioned above, to fire it, you have to fire it twice, that includes toggling the safety both times. There just is nothing really convenient about operating this thing.Refilling it still doesn't make sense to me, It's like the refill valve is not compatible with any of the cans I have. Yeah, some butane gets in the torch, but most of it is spraying out everywhere.Simply put, I do not feel safe while using it, it is a pain in the you-know-what to use. I really wish I hadn't purchased it and I am still in the market to buy a nice one.If I could remember which influencer led to to this product I would never watch their videos again.It does function as a butane torch.
