Gas torch AWTools AW13825 — handheld propane/butane torch for soldering and heating

AWTools AW13825 is a handheld propane/butane gas torch designed for soldering, heating and light brazing. It features a metal body with an ergonomic handle and a brass burner, offering a compact, fuel-canister solution for on-site repairs, hobby work and workshop tasks. The torch uses piezo ignition for instant flame and an adjustable flame control knob to set heat intensity. It accepts standard 190 g pierceable gas cartridges and includes a refill valve inlet at the bottom. The design allows operation at any angle up to 360°, making it versatile for confined spaces and angled work.

Advantages

The AWTools torch combines a sturdy metal construction and a brass burner for reliable heat transfer and durability. Piezo ignition eliminates the need for external lighters, while the adjustable flame control knob enables precise temperature management. Compatibility with commonly available 190 g propane/butane cartridges and a refill valve inlet at the base provide practical refuelling options. The ergonomic handle improves grip during extended tasks and the ability to operate at 360° supports overhead or awkward-angle use.

Suitable for

• Plumbing: soldering and reheating copper and brass fittings.
• DIY and home repairs: loosening seized fasteners, thawing frozen pipes, light brazing.
• Jewellery and hobby work: small-scale soldering and heat shaping.
• Cooking and culinary finishing: caramelizing, flaming, searing surfaces.
• Workshops and maintenance: paint stripping, heating adhesives, general heating tasks.

How to use

Attach a compatible 190 g pierceable propane/butane cartridge according to the cartridge and torch manufacturer instructions, ensuring a secure fit before use. Open the fuel valve slightly, press the piezo ignition to light the burner and adjust the flame using the control knob to the required intensity. Maintain a safe distance from flammable materials and use appropriate eye and hand protection when soldering or heating. After use, close the fuel valve, allow the torch to cool and store cartridges and the torch in a ventilated, cool area away from direct heat.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use certified 190 g propane/butane cartridges and check connections for leaks before each use. When carrying out soldering or brazing, prepare work surfaces and use heat sinks or clamps as needed to protect nearby components. Keep a fire extinguisher or appropriate extinguishing means accessible when working with open flames.
