Iwatani Pro Max, Professional Culinary Butane Torch with adjustable flame,

Feels very sturdy compared to other torches, I've had so many they just keep breaking. The added stand helps a lot with weight distribution and it doesn't randomly fall over when the butane is low.

I only got this cuz I was looking at the cheap China made torches and someone posted a review mentioning iwatani. I figured why not and this thing rocks. It’s so much better than my small torch I had before and also my propane torch gun. For some reason it just gives a cleaner taste. Only thing is there’s no smaller setting so it’s a strong flame but it works and is fast.

This was inexpensive and great for seasoning our wok! The butane lasts just about forever. We also used it to change the fixture on our tub faucet because the heat helped release some corrosion!

One of the best torches on the market even with the minor issue I've had. I'm not sure if it's just the one I received or if it's typical of this torch, but the flame adjuster could use some sort of tensioning device. It's quite loose and prone to changing each time it's picked up. Other than that it feels good in the hand, lights every time, and produces a nice uniform flame.

I had the old Iwatani and this one is much better - big hot flame that can be spread or pointed depending on the need. Also more comfortable to hold the trigger on than the kind with a front trigger
