Gas torch AWTools AW13880 — handheld gas blow torch, weight 542 g

The AWTools AW13880 handheld gas blow torch is a compact, portable torch designed for light metalwork, soldering and heating tasks. Constructed with ABS plastic and a stainless steel burner, it combines a lightweight body with a durable flame head. The model includes piezo ignition and an adjustable flame control knob, offering a ready-to-use solution for workshop repairs, DIY projects and outdoor tasks where a portable heat source is required.

Advantages

The torch body is lightweight at approximately 542 g, making it easy to handle during extended use. A stainless steel burner with anti-slip teeth improves grip and stability when mounting or adjusting the torch. Piezo ignition provides instant flame without external lighters, while the adjustable flame control allows precise regulation of heat output. The design is compatible with 190 g gas cartridges for straightforward refilling and predictable run time.

Suitable for

• Soldering small joints and pipes
• Brazing and light metal repair work
• Loosening rusted nuts and bolts
• Shrinking heat-shrink tubing and cable insulation
• Camping, trekking and fishing tasks that require a portable flame

How to use

Attach a compatible 190 g gas cartridge following the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions and ensure a secure connection before use. Open the gas flow slightly, operate the piezo ignition to light the burner, and adjust the flame using the control knob to achieve the required heat level. Maintain a safe distance and direct the flame only to the workpiece. After use, close the gas flow completely, allow the torch to cool, and store it in a ventilated, non-flammable area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. Operate the torch in well-ventilated areas and keep flammable materials clear of the work zone. For precise soldering or heat-shrinking, start with a lower flame setting and increase gradually to avoid overheating components.
