About Iwatani International Iwatani PRO2 Culinary Butane Torch
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
86% liked the easy-to-clean design, but 14% found it a hassle
I plan to buy another one for the kitchen and a dirty one for the garage.
I find the product easy to use and it breaks apart easily. In my opinion, it does the job very well.
The nozzle of my Iwatani torch has turned blue from heat staining, but it still works like new.

79% were impressed with the sleek design, but 21% weren't
The construction of the product is mostly solid, except for the gas knob that feels a little wobbly.
Gas torches have two flame cones, which is important to understand.
I mis-judged the dispersion in the first lighting and could have lit several things on fire. However, everything has been fine since reading the manufacturer's tips.
92% liked the flame control, but 8% found it difficult to adjust
There are controls to adjust the size of the flame.
I would have liked more fine control on the intensity of the flame, but it still works well enough for me.
The torch only has one setting - full blast, with no control over the flame.
75% appreciated the comfortable grip, while 25% found it slippery
The plastic feels solid and has some grip to it.
I love the safe design and handling of the cooking torch. It was important for me to be comfortable with it, and I am, even though I've never used a torch before.
The previous torch was difficult for me to use due to the uncomfortable grip. I had to push the start button while holding down a small, thin, hard lock button, all with my thumb. It was especially challenging for me because I have arthritis in my hands and fingers.
90% praised the safety features, but 10% desired more
The front valve allows me to switch between a robust flame like a Bernzomatic blow torch and a flickering flame like a candle or Bic lighter.
I am astonished by the lack of safety features in the product, particularly the absence of a quick cutoff, which is like using a power saw without a safety feature.
