A butane torch is a handheld tool that produces a high-temperature flame using butane as fuel. It is commonly used for tasks such as soldering, brazing, and culinary applications like caramelizing sugar or searing meat. The torch typically features an adjustable flame control and an ignition mechanism for easy use. These torches are popular among professionals and hobbyists alike due to their portability and efficiency. They are often used in plumbing, jewelry making, and even in cooking for tasks that require precise heat application. Safety features, such as a locking mechanism, are also included to prevent accidental ignition.
