Title: Worst piece of engineering...
Review: Less than poor design. The fuel adjustment lever is a silver-painted plastic part: it's lower portion is a toothed ring which easily falls off the (true) metal gas flow gear inside the torch housing. There's no retainer nut to hold the ring on the gear, only friction, and far too much mechanical play. Once the ring comes off the gear the torch is unusable. After 2 uses the housing had to be taken apart to re-mate the parts and adjust the locking button, a process that has been required several times in the past 18 months. The igniter also stopped working after the first repair.I went out to use it today and found it broken again, and that was the last straw. I don't have 30 minutes to fix the tool each time I want to use it, so into the garbage it goes. You'll need all 4 of these to last a year. This is the worst piece of engineering I've seen in a long time. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
