Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)
What: Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)
Price: $~29
Place: Wal-Mart


I picked it up at my local Wal-Mart near the plumbing/lighting section.

I filled it up with some Vector butane. I didn't bother using the Ronson butane it came with. The tank holds over 20g of fuel.

It's a well built torch. It fires up every time. It has a flame adjuster and a heat adjuster. It also has a button to lock the trigger once you fire.

It also comes with the instructional manual and 2 soldering tips.


















Verdict:

I've only had a few days and it fires every time. If it's anything like its little brother, it should be a very reliable piece of equipment. It's priced in the same price range as most micro torches online and on cigar websites ($20-$30 range).

Careful with that Ronson butane fuel! I ran out of the triple purified good stuff and had to use this on my Z-plus torch lighter insert. It basically got clogged after about 2 weeks of use. It would not light again.

As bad as I hate going to Wally World it looks like I need to take the plunge and go.

Actually the ronson butane works fine with their torches. It will clog up smaller units every time though.

The Ronson quality appears to be much better, but if your budget is tight this might fit the bill:

I've been using one of these for a couple of years without any problems.

Re: Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)
i hope you mean 129, not 29, because if it is 129 walmart can expect club stogie members breaking down doors before they even open tomorrow

I have one of these. They work great. Can melt metal or light your stogie. The Ronson is clearly better made but the little cheapo from harbor freight does the trick. The harbor freight one you can make the flame pretty damn long. I have to be careful with it because it is a TORCH and not a regular lighter. Not for the drunken herf. For the price a real steal. Cheers

Re: Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)
Did not see that one at my Wal-Mart, but at a local hardware store I picked up a Bernz-O-Matic tabletop torch for $25 - has pretty much the same stuff, but it is black.

A PT-200 torch is also pretty good, if you can find it.

Basically, just call hardware stores and ask if they have any butane torches - these typically seem to hover around the plumbing area, if not the standard tool areas...

just in case you WM does not have that one.
