The Wall Lenk LPT-500 Pro Butane Torch is a versatile tool as it can be used for such tasks as creating jewelry, making head pins, melting solder, and plumbing chores. Having a stable flame is important for this type of work and on paper the Wall Lenk LPT-500 delivers this easily. It has also been described as a heavy-duty torch as it is able to cope with being used professionally on a daily basis, as well as being a high-output butane tool. It comes with an ergonomic grip which makes using it comfortable when working from a variety of angles.
It is worth noting, though, that even with the ergonomic grip, one customer with arthritis could not take advantage of the torch. Hence, it’s a good idea to factor this into your buying decision if you need help gripping. The very poor review this customer has provided was influenced by this factor and doesn’t relate to the quality and performance of the torch – which is mediocre at best.

User Ratings – Recommendation
Customers who left reviews on what they think about the Wall Lenk LPT-500 gave it an above-average rating. The reason for the so-so rating is that a few users rated the gas torch poorly because of defects, and it did not seem to last long before starting to fail. I recommend passing on this torch and purchasing one of the Blazer Torches. You can see the latest reviews on the Wall Lenk here.
Magnificent! (As usual. 😛 )
