Title: Frustrating
Product review: I bought this mini-torch with the intent of using it to do basic copper pipe and electrical soldering, but I've given up on it. First of all, filling the torch with butane is problematic and messy; about half the fuel makes it into the unit and the other half everywhere else. Then when it does stay lit for any appreciable length of time (which isn't regularly), it self-extinguishes when held at certain angles. I worked and worked with it and tried every conceivable thing to make it operate better, short of taking it apart, but to no avail. I've gone going back to my old soldering iron, and propane-canister torch, which have worked well for 40 years.
