Big Shot GT8000

Such a good torch. It’s been a god send for soldering jewellery

The Blazer GT8000 Big Shot feels very well made and has been reliable every time I’ve used it. It lights quickly, produces a strong and consistent flame, and the controls are easy to adjust. The base keeps it stable on a work surface, and the overall build feels much sturdier than cheaper torches I’ve tried. A dependable, high-quality torch that performs exactly as expected.

When it comes to concentrates, this is your torch. Massive flame, good fuel dispersion(doesn't slowly die out as fuel becomes low). Flame is big enough to fully heat large ceramic nails evenly with minimal motion. Glass and titanium are a breeze. Whereas I would have to initially heat my 14mm ceramic nail for a minute with my Bernzomatic hand torch(ST2200T), the Big Shot handles this in about 10-15 seconds. Just be careful as there is no safety shut off. Only closing off the fuel supply kills the flame on this bad boy(like propane torches). It's not like a regular creme brulee hand torch with a ignition button release safety. If you drop it on something that isn't flame retardant/resistant while its running and the flame doesn't flicker out, you're going to do some damage. Be responsible when using this thing. Again, the flame on this is massive for a butane torch. Be careful not to burn anything when igniting for the first time. And keep in mind this thing uses no crappy plastic around the nozzle. The brassremains hot for quite a while after use. I saw another reviewer complain about this, but this is a heavy duty hand torch, plastic, in my opinion, would be unacceptable. This isn't a precision torch, doesn't have a soldering head attachment, and likely isn't what you want for precise application of heat(though you can make the flame pretty fine, given the flame size its capable of throwing) , but from my experiences, this is the best torch all around for concentrates, and I'd imagine it is more than satisfactory for most other plausible applications.

Excelente calidad. Muy superior a otros modelos de la misma marca, ni se diga de marcas genéricas que se descomponen al mes.

Awesome!!!!!!!
