Torch Lighter Automatic Ignitor Light Sparks for Soldering Gas Welding Portable (Black)

Its cheap, its small, it lights the torch. that's all it does and that's all it needs to do. For how cheap it is it does its job well. Don't spend your money on a name brand from some specialty website, just get this (its literally the exact same one as the expensive ones, they just put the sticker on backwards)

I teach an intro metalsmithing course at a college and my students really love using this lighter! In the past we have just used the regular flint scratch lighter and it works fine but students get a little overwhelmed because it takes a few strikes some times and then they tense up and get nervous. This lighter is just so much more user friendly and in my own experience doesn't make as loud as a pop when the torch ignites. Weirdly there is a little rubber/plastic sticker thing right around where you put the tip of the torch and if you don't move the torch away fast enough this can burn off. One of my students torched this by accident and stunk up the whole room so I would remove this when you get it so you don't have that same problem. Other than that it works fantastically, just as good as the expensive ones you get at jewelry supply stores.

I couldn't ask for a better value. It works just like the pricey ones I have used in the past at work. This one is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone who is starting out or doesn't want to pay top dollar. It works the same, it looks the same. Nothing wrong with it.

It is practical and light. It fulfills its function well.

Effective a d easy to use

Excellent Quality

I can see the little spark, but nothing it so very rarely actually lights my torch. My guess is the spark isn't strong enough.

Works perfectly to light my torch instead of using the flint style igniter.
