As lighters go it's pretty unique, with its cap and chain, air grids, flame locking lever, and there aren't many others that shoot out a roaring jet of blue flame at 1300 degrees C, in any direction, with one press of the electronic plunger.
Apart from defying all things wet & windy as well as gravity, this handy little burner fits easily into your pocket and can be set up on its own stand. You can solder with it, cut & seal synthetic rope in one easy operation and even melt glass! Serious power and control at your fingertips. The unit has received the ultimate accolade, by becoming an addition to the items carried in the field by members of the elite Special Air Services (SAS).
I have had my blazer for 3 years. It is one of the best lighters I ever had. Abi, Dudley
I wasn`t quite sure what to expect but trust me it`s all good. This lighter is the sort of lighter you`ll be proud to get out in the pub (well at least I was). Its unusual shape and appearance makes it that bit more interesting than your average lighter but a word of warning it is very powerful and I mean it so powerful I set my tash alight the first time I used it and that was just before I nearly wet my pants! If you don`t have one GET ONE even if you don`t smoke they are just worth having! Andy Emary, Bracknell
This will absolutely decimate anything! I find myself just burning stuff to see if I can! Just be careful you don`t turn into a pyromaniac. I was almost normal until I bought one. Not great as a fag lighter cos it annihilates the end of your bifta. Ben Wooly, N Yorks
More of a blow torch than a lighter but certainly gets you noticed down the local. Great fun when people ask you for a light. Just be sure you don`t burn their eyebrows off! James, Bramley Surrey
I do a lot of trekking so I am always on the lookout for light but dependable equipment - the Blue PB 270 caught my eye as there is nothing worse then being unable to start a fire due to high wind and rain - at first I thought it might be a bit pricey, but it has been worth every penny from the start - it has never let me down and I have had continuous use of it since purchase. One of the best buys that I have ever added to my kit. Get one! John O Sullivan, Cork, Ireland
I am an avid smoker... especially when it comes to glass things. I have found it very useful in cleaning my glass tools and I love to take things apart and so far have not broken this one yet. I...liked it so much I bought two. ... Only the cool people should have this lighter. Onggi, East Ham
As a sailor, I find this very useful for lighting cigarettes while staying on the deck. It simply refuses to be blown out, and the flame becomes incredibly hot. I also think the protective cap is a great idea, because with other lighters, I keep burning my pants. Richard Frost, Leicester
It is by far the coolest lighter in the world. I am am a member of the air training corps and it came in really handy in cold wet conditions trying to light a camp fire. Tom, Surrey
I was normal when I got this but now I am just a pyro. Will Sinclair, Ye Old Hurstpie
Fantastic - I've had mine for years... So much fun, it burns anything. First tank of pre-filled fuel is awesome, the flame never goes out, but when filled with regular butane, it isn't quite as good. God knows what they fill it with, but I want some more. Garry - UK

Press Reviews:
This Torch is not the cheapest lighter you can buy - but it sure as hell is the hottest. Lighter-size but with blow torch potential, when sparked up the torch`s flame touches 1,300 degrees C and can carry on roaring for up to twenty minutes before refill. A protective cap means it goes back in your pocket without torching your pants. Ideal for multi-cigarette lighting, storm-tossed sailing trips and perhaps just a spot of light soldering.
