HONEST Lighter Butane refillable lighters Shipped without gas (Blue)

ONE YEAR, HEAVY USE - UPDATED (see bottom half) [original review] the best butane torch i've gotten for a Hamilton. Its fuel adjustment lever actually can cover the range of fully cut-off, up to its max output, which is a pretty serious flame with big BTUs. Only real critique is the fuel tank isn't super huge, but then again, when you consider how much butane it is dumping out when you use it: i'm totally cool refilling it more frequently than logic tells me i should be. The thumb-slide-up ignition was a first for me, i can see why it would be considered ergonomic and/or intuitive by some... it's not my favorite ignition style but it's far from my least favorite. it's a solid five out of five by me. _________________ [ONE YEAR UPDATE] After a full year of heavy use, i've decided to update my original review (including pictures). TL;DR - still, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ______________ ...not without caveat, or a few asterisks i should mention. (Universally my review is stated as "...for a torch that costs $10") Second, It's important to note I'd be in the 'very high use' percentile range (i'd guess 90-95%) _______________ [MOST COMMON USE] I use my torch for a bunch of culinary applications (including prepping my nightly cocktail - I brulée a tablespoon of sugar, dripped off into whiskey). ___________ [HEAVIEST USE?] BUT the most intense use is metalwork (heating parts to red glow to bend, heating parts to annel, various uses related to electronics soldering, light metals soldering): This use means 2-3 minute continuous burn times, at full whack. (dumping out half the tank or more; butane's getting burnt off as hot as possible; and the tool being held at these rising extremes) It's been my go-to tool for when i want something smaller, lighter / more agile, tighter quarters than using a MAPP Gas Torch. ___________ [LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY?] At ~8 months in, the ignition switch died. Given the use, this is without a doubt "above average". It exceeded my expectations at a $10 price tag. So the average person receiving mine would have made it to 2-3 years before the ignitor died. I could have prettty easily replaced it (the design isn't so 'wonky', cheap or convoluted) but in my use case it's simply easier to ignite using the flint from a dead Bic or Zippo, or by jumping it with a secondary flame source (a gas range burner, a grill lighter, etc) This is the only manner by which it is no longer in the same operational condition as when it arrived. __________ [As seen in the pictures] [image #1] – The martensite discoloration at the tip of the outer cover/shield is visible – it's expected, minimal, and doesn't affect the functionality at all. It also seems to be nowhere near a point of indicating structural damage or critical wear, ______ [image #2] – There is slight thermal discoloration of the torch outlet (faint light blue), however there is no significant decomposition visibly to the structural integrity. The torch performs approximately 85-90% as near to its original condition. ___________ [image #3] – I decided to permanently affix the base onto my torch by simply gooping on some J&B Weld epoxy before putting it into place. The only editorial commentary to read into this is that unlike other torches I've owned, this one doesn't have the option of screwing the base into place. BUT Most folks probably will enjoy the way the design allows the base to be taken off and put back on very quickly and easily. It works well enough. I just needed unusually strong sturdiness. _________ [RATING – brand new] for a $10 torch: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [RATING - after 1 year heavy use] for a $10 torch: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best small torch I've owned. Good adjustment on flame size and it's reliable, unlike many other torches I've owned.

​I’ll be honest: at this price point, I expected a plastic toy that might flicker twice before giving up. Instead, I received a heavy-duty powerhouse that puts my expensive "name-brand" kitchen torches to absolute shame. This HONEST lighter isn't just a bargain; it’s an absolute steal. ​The build quality is the first thing that hits you. It has a satisfying weight and a textured grip that feels secure in your hand. But the real magic happens when you click the ignition. It produces a fierce, windproof blue flame that is remarkably consistent. Whether I’m caramelizing a crème brûlée, searing a steak, or lighting a stubborn campfire in the wind, this torch handles it with surgical precision. ​Why It Stands Out: ​Industrial Strength: The flame is adjustable and reaches temperatures that make quick work of any task. ​Refillable Reliability: It fills easily with standard butane and doesn't leak—a rarity for budget lighters. ​Versatility: It’s rugged enough for the workshop but sleek enough for the kitchen counter. ​It is rare to find a product that outperforms its price tag by such a wide margin. If you need a reliable, high-intensity flame without the "luxury" markup, stop looking. This is the one.

Solid, easy to charge, easy to use. One thing to keep in mind, this is more of a hammer than a scalpel, there is no really fine flame control.

This is a quality torch for the low cost of it. I like it. Its small , not bulky. Would purchase again.

I actually bought 2 of this kind of torch. The red one here and one of their black ones. I just received them yesterday. I filled each of them and tested them. They both seemed to be quality-built lighters. Fast forward to today, the red one will not light up, no matter what. After making sure it had plenty of fluid, you can hear it coming out when you push the trigger. I realized the igniter isn't throwing a spark. Can't get it to spark at all to ignite the lighter, so this one is a dud. Really disappointed because it feels to be built really well. But look and feel can be deceiving, I guess.

Very reliable torch with a strong flame that gets the job done every time. I own several torches from buying them over the last few years, looking for quality and reliability and this torch is now my go-to torch for lighting my bonfires that I burn regularly. It is very easy to fill with butane and it literally fires up on 1st strike EVERY SINGLE TIME. You can’t go wrong with this powerful torch. It will never let you down. Go Honest torches! A++++

I don't know that these will be used after the butane has run out. The majority of the butane ran out onto the floor when I attempted to fill them. I got them filled but only after using most of a brand new can. The can nozzle wouldn't seat on the lighter fill tip properly so the butane was leaking out. They're a large size. Not mini or smaller the way you may think. Flame strength goes from cigarette lighter to crack pipe lighter. Really easy to use. It seems to be made of some material like plastic but I suppose it's a decent quality.

Excellent lighter, feels heavy and durable. Flame strength is solid

This is a great little torch. More powerful than others I’ve had. It’s a bit smaller than some which I liked!

Will be perfect for lighting fore lighters. Great size and adjustable flame

Works well and seems well built

Very good blow torch! Works really well! Has a decent flame, and construction seems good! Good value for the price!
