Folks, I have shot a ton of this Blazer 9mm 115 grain FMJ ammo over the years at the range. Palmetto has it on sale for $219.99 + S&H – click here for it.

I work a lot with plastics, paracord and webbing. Thus, I need to melt ends, heat small tools/probes to poke holes and what have you. I use lighters for a while but the problem was they didn’t generate very much heat. They were good for searing the end of a paracord but not quickly. Sometimes they quit it heat tools up enough to poke clean holes in webbing.
As usual I did some digging around and came across the Blazer torch as you see in the above photo. This thing is fantastic. I have used it for probably at least two years with no trouble. I bought this in 2014 and after hundreds if not thousands of clicks, the little piezoelectric spark unit is still working just fine – as is everything else. It’s just plain reliable.
It is refilled vs standard butane cartridges. You can save a bundle by buying packages of them off of Amazon versus from the local drug store, grocery store or whatever. Surprisingly the torch does not use a ton of butane fuel at a time. I think it is because the jet is actually fairly small. You can adjust the intensity and the air:fuel ratio depending on what you’re working on. I bought a six-pack of the few will you see in the photo and I think I have only gone through one and a half cans in a couple of years.
The rubber base is removable if you don’t need it and in the next photo you can see a clear picture of the butane fill port.
So if you are looking for a very portable small torch this Blazer has worked great for me and I recommend it so I am listing it below for your reference.
Update: 7/23/2018: It still works great. No problems to report and am still using it regularly for rope and nylon.
Update 11/28/19: The seals went out last month and it will no longer store butane for more than a day or two. Based on reviews on Amazon, I am going to try out a Bernz-O-Matic ST2200T and see how it lasts. I bought the Blazer on 11/29/14 so it almost made it four years,
