I had this tool for the longest and never used the solder part of it had to come to you tube to find out how to use 😂😂😂 LOL thanks for the video sir. Great tool great video 👍🍺
Great review/"look see" !. I can say that your intro has likely saved me burning a bunch of fuel and my time to figure all the tips it has you did that for me. 😊
Seems like a fair option. Have a look at Dremel 2200-01 Versa Flame Multi-Function Butane Torch. I used that for some years now (3-4 at least I'd say). I was looking at finding another great option like the Dremel. I saw this unit on Google images and found your video. If you look at the markings, shape, switches, "ribbing" of stainless, I think these are essentially the same torch. I believe I like the Dremel better as the bits dont require removing a screw to add the tips etc. I appreciate your review.
33 years as a Professional Firefighter Paramedic, I can't tell you how many house fires I've been to where the homeowner was outside crying because they caused the fire by overriding something like you want to do. They always say "this has never happened before" I wouldn't give the insurance company any reason to not pay for damages. I hope nothing ever happens and you can say that crazy Firefighter doesn't know what he's talking about.
40 years as a professional mechanic and common sense person and I have removed these types of lawyer devices for decades as most professionals do and if that trigger can somehow pull itself under that much spring tension while it is sitting in the toolbox I will take full responsibility. These stupid things get put on these tools because some lawyer won a lawsuit claiming that if the tool would have had this type of a device it wouldn't have happened and the truth is the person operating it was the problem not the tool because the person was someone who had no knowledge of the device or common sense and ended up catching something on fire. BTW you have put out ZERO fires because a homeowner removed the trigger lock on a butane torch.
@@737mechanic I have not, to my knowledge, but I have put out plenty of mechanic shops because of carelessness, stupidity, or both. Point is, YOU may not accidently shove that up against something causing it to ignite but you can't tell me it isn't possible.
@@gilmo1938 Anything is possible I guess but I know from life experience that there are many accidents that happen today because of these safety devises because people have a false sense of security and think since this tool has a safety devise, I can't get hurt so they get complacent, and they stop thinking about what they are doing. If this torch had a touch sensitive button that when lightly touched would spark the flame, then I would completely understand the need for a safety switch but when it takes 10lbs of finger force to pull the trigger back a full inch to get the flame started that in itself is plenty of safety. I totally get where you are coming from but in this case this tool would have been way to inconvenient to use in my opinion. Now if they would have made it where you had a pistol grip safety so when you grip it then it compresses and that allowed you to pull the trigger that would have been fine.
@737mechanic Okay, so they both do the same jobs . You mean to tell me there is no difference at all like one heats more than the other, or one lasts longer ,has a bigger butane liquid holding tank etc..
@@DAT-TEXAS-DUDE I don't have to be a certified plumber to know what works and what doesn't. I am not a certified fireman but I know not to stick my hands into a campfire.
Last this sir , are you an expert or a licensed plumber. I have a friend who is a plumber and used this to install a water regulator adjuster so why do you claim it won't solder copper is my question
Because a mini torch like this is NOT what plumbers use to solder copper tube. The flame is too small and concentrated to a fine point. I larger propane torch is what most plumbers will use for the type of job you are talking about.
@@737mechanic, I have never seen a plumber use anything but a propane torch. A mini torch is useful for many things, but is not the ticket for a plumber.
Out of all the videos I’ve watched it seems like I’m the only one that realizes you can hold the safety with the middle of your thumb while lighting it if it doesn’t spark the first time, I like this glue idea anyways though, all these videos of people making it look like it’s such a hassle to move a button slightly to the left look like wimpy little Yanceys
I guess the main thing to me is why it even needs a safety, there is plenty of spring tension to prevent accidentally squeezing the trigger. It is so much easier to simply pick it up and squeeze the trigger and your off. The main thing you need to realize is if you have to pick it up then set it down for a second then pick it up and do that over and over for some job you are doing then that little safety crap really gets annoying as hell.
@737mechanic Foh with that bs of a comment . There is video of a dude doing solder with a smaller torch than this bro and he even tested it to make sure no leaks and it worked. Took a Lil longer but it still did the fucking job . Like I said it's for me not to use or lend to a plumber if they need one . Something to get by and still manage to do the job properly. Bet if you were not to be negative and give it a try it works maybe not to your likingbut still does the job

Great video. All the details✍ you need to know how to use this. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to use this. 😃
Great review/"look see" !. I can say that your intro has likely saved me burning a bunch of fuel and my time to figure all the tips it has you did that for me.
😊
I believe the safety is to prevent unwanted holes in your tool bag or tool box if u do end up throwing it in there 🤔 thanks for the review 💯💪🏽👌🏾
The problem is the trigger would somehow need to be depressed and the spring is strong so the chances of it accidently being pushed is slim.
@@737mechanic I understand yuh bud, it's probably also to prevent it from being it from being gassed out if it does end up in a tool box or bag 🤔

bullshit
My lexivon flame keeps getting lower and lower. Even though it is turned all the way up.
Which is better or does the one with the base torch holder do the same as the other lexevion thats stright like a pen😊
They are the same it depends on your preference.

This video should have shown if this thing can actually solder anything, such as a cupper pipes. Maybe this is just a cigarette lighter.
This is a micro butane torch so it is NOT going to solder copper pipes.
@737mechanic
Have you atleast tried to solder copper pipes with it
@@DAT-TEXAS-DUDE I wouldn't waste my time trying because through experience I know what will and will not work to solder copper tube.
