BLUEFIRE MRS-7014B Trigger Start Gas Welding Torch Head for Propane & MAP PRO Fuel,Extend 1.5" Burning Tube Nozzle Piezo Self Ignition Handhold Cylinder Soldering Brazing Triple-Point Flame

Before purchasing this unit, I read through all comments here, and many complaints are about the ignition and shut-off during usage. After I got mine and been using for days, I did not found anything wrong with this torch, if using it properly. In my opinion, this is a great torch with good price. It is a entry-level torch but still can meet most needs for ordinary people like me (i.e. not professionals making a living on this). I found almost all user complaints are rooted to one thing: that this torch is direct-input torch head just as same as the Bernzomatic WT2301. So the bottle pressure dominates everything: Cannot ignite? Just turn to low the gas knob when pushing the trigger. Shut-off when inverted? Of course it will extinguish when inverted, since it does not have anti-flare and that is why it is cost much less than those high end models. Shut-off during using? Check your environmental temperature, this is probably due to the surrounding temperature is too high and the bottle pressure goes up, it is not the torch’s problem but the bottle’s, bring the bottle to some cool place for a while may solve the problem. Similarly, flame is too small? Maybe this is because you are using it in ice cold winter and the low temperature cause the bottle pressure too low, use some hot water to warm up the bottle. See? Almost all complaints can related to the direct input design and could solved easily. you get what you pay for, and you work with what you have at hand, simple as that

Nice torch. I had a problem with my first one, it stopped working after a few uses and the company was great to deal with and immediately sent me a new one and it's been working great so far! Would recommend this and buy again if needed.

Unit lit once when arrived and gas bottle was attached. Placed in the storage cabinet for use when needed. When removed for that use the torch would not ignite when ignition trigger was pressed. It just puffed a brief noise and would not light. Purchased a new gas bottle and unit functioned in the same manner. So clear indication that unit failed before I was able to utilized for a specific purpose; i.e. ignite accumulated yard wastes collected from spring yard cleanup. And, as you would guess too late to return. Decision; write this review and hope that Amazon would note this about the product , in order to prevent other consumers from having the same experience and are left with no recourse other than paid, now own a non functioning unit that is also not refundable.

Works great

Me ayuda de mucho

It did not work as desired. The flame cannot be adjusted to a very low burn. I had to return to using my old torch that had issues. The new one didn't work any better than my 40 year old one.

The BLUEFIRE MRS-7014 and the Bernzomatic WT2301 are the two most popular propane torch heads in US market, gladly I have both torches and work with them for some time, here is some comments and comparisons:1. Both torches are entry-level propane torch heads, if you are working on some larger projects, you’d better switch to higher level propane torches. But for those who just want to do some light and small soldering jobs, or precision welding, these two torches are enough for your needs. And they cost less.2. Both torches are triple-point flame, the flame cone size is slender and concentrated. Both torches have good and stable flames. BLUEFIRE torch marked the output is 2505.26 BTU/hr, and max temperature 1130 C. Bernzomatic torch does not mark parameters, but by my experiences they should be very close to each other.3. BLUEFIRE torch head has a longer burner tube, about 1.5” longer than the Bernzomatic torch. I am personally more in favor of the BLUEFIRE torch’s design, the longer tube can access deeper into some shallow spaces, and this is very helpful for my work. Plus, I saw some other user comments said that the longer tube made Bluefire torch’s anti-flare performances better than Bernzomatic, I tried the same test and Yes it is true, I totally agree with that.4. Both torches are made by plastic and stainless steel, the fittings are both solid brass. Both torches are good quality for me. Bernzomatic maybe more heavier in my feeling.

Everything is just as pictured. My fiancé loves it. I got it for him for his birthday.
