Bernzomatic FirePoint Creator Tool, Precision Flame Hand Torch for use with Bernzomatic MAP-Pro or Propane Fuel (Firepoint Tool)

Live the ease and convenience of this product. I use it for soldering jewelry and it works perfectly. Would buy again.

Love it! I use this for making jewelry, I am using the Map gas. I was using small butane torches. This is so much hotter, quicker and easier to use. I make all my own copper ball tip headpins, some soldering, lots of annealing. The gas holder is great, so nice to have it right on my bench. The torch head is easy to ignite and to adjust the flame. Being able to turn the gas off at the top of the holder gives me peace of mind as well.

amazing tool for silversmithing and working with gold filled metal, easy to use and affordable

I actually bought this one for someone else, after using one when I started learning Silversmithing. The class I took wasn't able to complete our project because the butane torches at the clubhouse didn't produce enough heat. This is so much better than the little butane torches because you don't have to try & refill (most of the time losing half the fuel). Just put a new canister in the base (which lasts a long time) & twist it on! Nice adjustable flame and it's easy to maneuver (because you aren't holding the canister)! It will melt very small amounts of gold, silver, brass & copper but if you want to be able to melt more than about 0.5-1oz get something hotter (like an oxy/propane little torch with a rosebud tip). Don't have to worry about melting anything on the work bench from setting down the hot tip, or getting the tip dirty, as the base has a metal lined area to hold the torch!

Seems like a great tool. Here are my pros and cons. PROS: - very nice flame tip - great ergonomics. It just fits in my hand. Very functional - easy to operate and fast to set up - hole for the tool in the base is made in a way that stops tool from rotating freely. I like this - heat output is based on the gas you feed it and by adjusting the knob - It can also operate with EU Propane butane bottles (you have to have gas US to EU adapter) CONS: - There is no handle that would allow me to grab "the whole set-up" with one hand and move it. I think it's kind of obvious from the pictures, but I did not realize until the first time I had to move it. It is small and light weighted, but you need two hands to move it. - After a long operation, I do not feel comfortable to just slide it into the hole in the base. Even if it's reinforced with metal, it would surely melt after some time. Overall I think this is great value for money. To fix most cons, I designed and 3D printed holder which make this tool 5/5, but since I had to put in my work best I can give is 4/5. Holder can be found on printables. Just search "Bernzomatic Firepoint carry stand and adapter".

Perfect for bench soldering and heating objects. Nice upgrade from having to hold the whole bottle while trying to do fine soldering.

Very handy, easier to use than trying to hold the whole tank

Absolutely adore!!! Has made working with my sterling silver SO much easier vs. small hand held torch. LOVE this product!!!
