A butane torch is a handheld tool that produces a high-temperature flame using butane gas as fuel. These torches are commonly used for tasks such as soldering, brazing, and culinary applications like caramelizing sugar on desserts. They are popular due to their portability and ease of use. Butane torches typically feature an adjustable flame and a safety lock to prevent accidental ignition. They are refillable, allowing users to replace the butane gas when it runs out. Many people also use them for hobbies like jewelry making or glassblowing, making them versatile tools in various fields.
