Howdy yall; It seems the expert reel repair person and the joe homeowner occasionally have the same need. A small pinpoint flame seems to be the answer so here is my newest favorite. I give this butane torch a 5 star rating and heres why; small and compact, adjustable pin point flame,instant ignition, lock on flame feature, stands up by itself, and cost is $7 usd to your usa doorstep.
Please see the photos and decide for your self if you are able to bury your pride or have your buddy order you one on e-bay to see for yourself. I am only rating this product and am not affiliated in any way trying to sell or profit from this post, ( my homade tani approved declaimer?)
