Origin

Portasol was requested to have a high powered torch that could be used in tight spaces, one that didn’t need a large bottle of butane to operate. 

Features and benefits

  • A high-power butane torch with 2,797 BTU/h flame power and an extra strong welded stainless steel head built to protect the burner.
  • Made with butane compatible plastics and ultrasonically welded tank to prevent gas leaking.
  • Weighs 16 oz. 

Selling points

  •  Adjustable flame length up to 90 mm (4.5”) 
  • 45 minutes of continuous use at mid-setting
  • Flame temperature of 2,462 degrees F (1350 degrees C)
  • All-in-one on/off ignition switch
  • Replaceable jet.

Storage and display

The torch is shipped without butane in it and it is refillable from the valve on the bottom, like a lighter. The box has a hanger tab so it can be hung up on a display.
