Do they make a lighter?

Do they make a butane torch lighter that has some type of locking mechanism, so that when you turn it on, you do not need to keep your thumb down on a device?
I would like this, so my fat thumb doesn get heated up and burned, especially outside when its windy.

My recommendation would be a lighter with a side trigger like the XiKar Executive. My XiKar Enigma also has one of these features, but is a double-flame lighter. I believe a lot of Blazers have a trigger that is away from the flame as well.

For home use, this torch has a locking mechanism.

I've read great things about the Dupont Extend. The price makes me wince though...

Blazer PB207 has a locking button. Also has a little rubber detachable base so it can stand upright for hands free use.

Jerry,

Pick up a kitchen torch from amazon or a kitchen store. One hand operation and has a safety button.

Amazon.com: Orka Kitchen Torch: Kitchen & Dining
Sam's Club - Bella Tavola Kitchen Torch - 2 Pack

Also handy for caramalization and cream brulee!

My wife has one in the house she uses for creme brulee and some other fancy stuff. I need something that fits in the cigar caddy, and wont explode in truck. But thanks anyway. I want to check out the one, the previous poster suggested.

Thanks, exactly like I am looking for. And at about 30 dollars not too expensive to buy 2. Nice fuel capacity also. Looks cool.

Much regards Jerry

No problem. I've really enjoyed mine. Try to get the original PB207, I've heard the newer CR (child resistant) model is harder to manipulate.

Most soldering torches will only have to be clicked down once - it will then stay on until you cut the flow of gas.

Yeah, but when you're in the park and some other anti-smoking idiot starts coughing and walking your way, whip that baby out, light one up, giggle a little bit and say "you're gonna burn, you're all gonna burn"!
