Blazer GT8000 Big Shot Review | Butane Torch Shop

The Blazer GT8000 Big Shot Torch is an excellent choice if you are looking for a butane soldering torch which has been designed for a low blow-out rate when you need to work in a variety of positions. Likewise, if you need to work in a small space, the angled head combined with the stand will allow you to work hands free. Other features such as the gas adjustment dial, all work to ensure that you have full control over the flame. The flame emits from a brass frame nozzle which provides a precision flame tip.

The Blazer Big Shot can be refilled with butane canisters and these are available separately. A piezoelectric ignition system is used so that the flame lights every time and it also means that an external ignition source is not required.
