Buyer Beware
1 Star
Buyer Beware
Buyer beware. I buy about $100 off Amazon per month and do not write up reviews unless something is seriously wrong. This is my second negative review in about six years. The Bernzomatic torch worked for about 1.5 hours and then kept then going out. I called Bernzomatic Customer Service who suggested that I vacuum out the tube as my problem sounded like something was restricting the air / propane flow. Long story short see photos. This product may have had a manufacturing defect or the instructions were not complete.The torch appears to not have good design features: Air is mixed in below black handle rather than simply at the bottom of the tube. Air / propane mixture subject to wind pressure. Tube overheat melt off safety feature was good. Gasket at female end of handle that mates with propane bottle appears to be a natural fiber similar to cork which may flake off. Tube melted off when I purposely tested as listed below to try to isolate blow out issue which in my opinion was the air / propane mixture ratio and pressure.Sequence followed to figure out that torch is not usable:1. Vacuumed out torch tube from bottom with tank vacuum with good suction. Sealed tube bottom with rag to get strong suction from bottom of tube.2. Rinsed tube out with water inserted up bottom end of tube with propane valve closed.3. Let torch dry in hot sun light for two days.4. Verified tube completely dry.5. Tested piezo self starter which showed good spark when viewed from bottom of tube.6. Inspected tube with flash light. Tube inside looked clear.7. Flipped black tube handle upside down and opened propane valve completely.8. Used sewing straight pin for hemming to verify valve body propane hole not plugged.9. Poured about 2 ounces of rubbing alcohol down propane hole to remove any moisture and verified that rubbing alcohol flowed through propane valve body freely.10. Let rubbing alcohol evaporate.11. Replaced natural material gasket at female end of torch with a synthetic non flaking gasket from a propane bottle long term storage stop leak cap.12. Attached a brand new propane bottle to torch and verified no leaks.13. Attempted to start torch in wind free garage. Torch would go out every time about one second after lit.14. Decided to experiment with reducing air flow into tube by taping off two out of four air entry holes at base of black handle. Got torch to stay lit about three seconds.15. Taped off all four air entry holes below black handle.16. Got torch to light and stay lit about twenty seconds.17. Used torch to burn weeds for about thirty seconds.18. Opened two out of four air entry holes. Torch ran continuously without going out but was operating too hot for tube. Torch used for about two minutes. My experiment resulted in the torch being too hot and overheating tube beyond designed safety temperature. Torch bottom melted off. See photos.19. Completely disassembled propane valve and took photos and wrote up this review.Comment to seller:Good service. Quick service. Five star rating. I believe the torch was an authentic Bernzomatic torch. Manufacturing date numbers on valve body of 17850 0217.Comment to Bernzomatic:I think you have some problems that you should check into: improve user manual to include re-lighting details and troubleshooting details, design of product, manufacturing quality control, and verify that some Chinese company is not impersonating your product on Amazon and selling garbage. I would also suggest that you get your customer service to provide swap out service promptly rather than provide guesses as to what may be wrong. The user manual should be improved to give clear safety instructions including eye protecting against overheated exploding rocks, detailed troubleshooting steps, and detailed cleaning and servicing instructions. You should provide refurbishment service or replacement regardless of whether product is bought online or in a retail store. Poor customer service!Comment to buyer:I would not take a risk on this product no matter how many good write ups you read. I did some research online and decided to buy a Harbor Freight weed burning torch by Greenwood item number 91037. Good result when using. Nice design features. Price less than Bernzomatic torch. I bought an adapter for the Greenwood torch hose to go from a 20 pound propane tank to a one pound throw away propane tank for fifteen dollars. I may get a belt clip to hang the one pound propane bottle on my belt.I hope this long review helps everyone out.

Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2022
This kept going out on me as soon as I got too close or ever touched weeds directly. The fix, CRIMP THE END. I can now go for over an hour without it going out once and even get aggressive and burry it into the weeds directly. Works like a charm.
