About this item
- UTILITY TORCH FOR OUTDOOR USE: Solid, single unit torch is a lawn and garden favorite. Quick-start trigger produces a large flame that is easily adjustable and controllable, to aid you in many outdoor essentials including weed control top repair, and grill and fire pit ignition. Quickly extinguishes when the job is finished.
- SELF-IGNITING MECHANISM: Powered completely by propane or MAPP gas. Simply fasten a small sized propane or MAPP gas cylinder tank (not included) to the end. Then squeeze the trigger and your torch will fire right up. The control valve regulates the pressure of your flame, so you are always in control of the flame’s output.
- LIGHTWEIGHT FEEL WITH ERGONOMIC HANDLE: The slip-resistant ergonomic foam-padded handle offers nice balance and maximum comfort for you to effectively burn away unwanted weeds in your lawn, flower beds, or along the cracks on your sidewalk and driveways. The torch is lightweight, giving you complete control of the tool for detailed burning — even one-handed.
- LONG-REACH KEEPS YOU AT A SAFE-DISTANCE: Reaches 34” in length to reduce unnecessary bending and crouching while landscaping, and the chances of sustaining burns or other injury when igniting a grill or campfire. When properly operated in accordance to the operation manual (provided), outdoor torches are a safe alternative to manually removing weeds by hand. For low-to-moderate weed counts.
- EASY STORAGE: Once you've used your weed torch, all you have to do is let it cool off and place it in a well ventilated area. The thinly engineered rod of this torch is perfect for your valuable shelf space.

Product Description
Tired of removing weeds from your garden? Does weed in your garden keeps coming back even after removing them from the roots? Then its high time you use our weed torch. A principle which was used by farmers centuries ago is being used in home gardens for weed removal. Works great to remove weeds from your lawn, gardens, asphalt, and gravel driveways.
HOW IT WORKS:
When you pass the flame over the weeds, it quickly boils the water inside of the weed’s cell, causing it to burst. Once the heat destroys the weed’s stem, water and nutrients cannot reach the leaves, the top portion dies. So even the worst weeds are eradicated from the roots.

Having said that, I love this 'gadget' I use industrial vinegar for weed killer. The thing is I needed something to get rid of the dead weeds after the vinegar does its job. This torch is perfect. It is easy to use, not heavy, not awkward to hold/carry, easy to shut off, easy to store, etc. The propane tanks are not expensive and last quite a long while. I am happy with this purchase and the seller. If this one dies, I will buy another just like it.
Start-up/ignition was flawless every time, and in using it almost nonstop for 45 minutes I had none of issues of any parts of the torch melting, or the finish bubbling, as a couple of reviewers have reported.
Definitely not for big weeds. I was thinking that on those it might work to burn off only the seed heads, but the wind/force generated by the torch moves seed stalks around in a way that makes it hard to get them to burn.
Might be worth the modest extra cost of MAP gas (which burns hotter than propane), which I’ll probably try next time.
Just don’t think it’s magic, or that it works on big weeds, unless they’re dry, and I think you’ll likely be happy with this torch, especially considering that the alternatives are chemicals of getting down on your knees! I strongly recommend against even trying it on poison oak!
All that being said, there are some usability aspects that I didn’t realize before I purchased this. Read on.
First, this is very cathartic but not entirely effective. It feels great torching weeds and out of place grass. We’ve used this several times and it does roast things however grass grows back very quickly. Unless you roast grass for a really long time, it will grow back.
Secondly, torching green grass puts out a horrendous smoke that is so pungent you will need to shower and change clothes even after a short session if any of it gets near you. This stuff stunk up our clothes and our house. It smells awful.
So the products itself it solid and deserves a good review. I’ve had no problems with it, but be careful what you wish you is the morale of this review.

It is a bit awkward to set down on the ground due to the angle it imposes on the gas tank. I guess you could lay it sideways, but I'd like to avoid that with the gas tank.
Extremely useful, easy to use, very versatile, lightweight.
Essential addition to the garden shed.
