Be careful with that thing. If it starts to melt in your hand, pitch it! (I learned my lesson with inexpensive, Butane Soldering Irons from China!)

A million uses! There's one in each shop, our house, and my model room. Perfect for crème bruleé...and heng longs!

Not sure I need that many although I have a larger one for food, I don't do child portions....

That's a long three minutes and forty-five seconds.

This turbo lighter is already 10 years old!
I replaced the lighter itself 3 times - it broke...
In field conditions, it is a great burner!!!

There is also such a turbo lighter...
But I only use it at home now...
The inadequate reaction to a request to give me a light surprises me a little...
And I don't drive it in the car anymore.... I care about the psychological health of the police, because there was a case, they won't survive a second one... and neither will I....
