Gas torch AWTools AW13855 — handheld propane/butane torch, weight 2.4 kg

AWTools AW13855 is a handheld propane/butane gas torch designed for soldering, heating and small-scale brazing tasks. Constructed from high-quality steel with a zinc-plated and yellow-passivated finish, the torch offers a durable surface resistant to corrosion. The unit weighs 2.4 kg and is compatible with standard propane/butane fuel canisters or can be attached directly to an 11 kg gas cylinder via the supplied high-pressure hose and connectors. A long arm increases distance from the flame for safer operation while the ergonomic, heat-insulated handle with trigger and gas flow control knob enables precise flame adjustment.

Advantages

The torch combines a sturdy metal body and corrosion-resistant finish with an ergonomic handle and integrated flow control for reliable, controllable output. Its long arm and heat insulation reduce the risk of operator discomfort, and the included high-pressure hose with connectors allows direct attachment to larger cylinders for extended runtime. The AW13855 delivers a concentrated flame suitable for precision work and tougher heating tasks without requiring complex setup.
