What else can I say? Turn a low quality lighter into a decent torch. And it comes with a refillable lighter / fuel container. I ordered 50 cheap lighters here on amazon for $11 to pair with this.

It worked great for a couple of months, but then it started to leak butane after refills.

I expected/thought the flame was adjustable and that it would stay lit. I was wrong or misled.If I hold the micro-jet so that the jet/flame is straight up it will burn for as long as I hold the ignitor button down or until it runs out of fuel. In any other orientation the flame dies within 4 seconds.Am I doing something wrong, is the device defective, or is this just how the product (fails to) operate?-----Update: While "caveat emptor" remains the motto of the day, JB Tools worked with me to return the CF-30 fuel cell pack that I purchased with the Solder-It Micro-Jet Torch (MJ-300) thinking the review of the product wouldn't let me down and extra fuel cells would be handy to have on hand - see motto of the day above. Perfectly understandable that once you use the product (added butane) that the product is unreturnable. For whatever reason or policy, Amazon doesn't directly support the return/refund of the fuel cells - fortunately mine were unopened and unfilled and JB Tools was willing to accept a direct return so that this set of purchases did not turn out to be a total loss. Thanks to JB Tools for their outstanding customer service.

It is a waste of $20. It has a flame that lasts less than one second and may be present once out of 15 strikes. Consider it garbage.Amazon has a policy that you cannot return something that contains butane.THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT COME WITH BUTANE.I would suggest buying from another manufacturer.

Good product at a fair price and a very cooperative seller. The first one I received didn't work properly and they immediately had another one already in the mail the day after I talk to them.

This is the second one I've had in many, many years. This thing is great! It is always out ready for use. The first one's refillable cartridge finally would not hold fluid. I found you can use the Tokai M13LCS or Scripto BM13L-50/Spectra flat sided disposable lighters as replacement cartridges. I don't know about the Tokai, but I got 100 Scripto Quantum from Amazon very cheap. The only slight modification needed to use the Quantum was to extend the plunger inside the torch head. The Quantum is a slightly shorter stroke than the original so the red thumb switch which actuates a metal plunger in the head does not push down far enough on the disposable black hold down that makes the gas flow. Carefully remove the tiny screw behind the Micro Jet peel off label on the left side (as you would hold it) and remove cover splitting the head in half. This will expose the round headed plunger w/spring. Carefully bend (use 2 needle nose pliers) the upper dog leg a little out and little down stretching the bend angles. Also correct the shaft (spring area) to be more or less straight again (this area is stiff). If reassembly does not fire and hold flame then follow procedure again to get a little more length on the plunger. The whole bending process only takes about 10-20 min. if you have the screwdriver (#0 tip) and pliers ready and if you have used these kind of tools more than a few times.

When I saw this tool and thought about ordering, several of my co-workers were also intrigued and so I purchased multiples. Everyone likes theirs and I like mine.So lets look at the product shall we?First: The disposable lighterNot just any style disposable lighter works. The Scripto or Toaki lighers work. My Bic didn't, in fact the SODMJ300 broke the gas release tab on my bic. The torch DOES come with a refillable cartridge shapes like a Scripto lighter with the flint and wheel removed, so you don't necessarily have to have a disposable lighter ready to use it.Second: While other reviews say that the torch requires two hands to work, I found that I could operate it quite well with just one hand and my hands are hardly large. I can just use my thumb to pull back and down on the tab on the back and it works!Third: Despite the name being "Solder-It" It does not solder very well, and at 2400°F it was expected not to work well. The solder flux the tool calls for does not flow well, and the high temperature tends to do more damage to the wiring harness than I want. This is NOT a soldering iron. I just tried it because it claimed it could be, but on nothing I expected to actually use. DONT TRY SOLDERING WITH IT.Finally: It is a butane torch. Thats what it is, don't expect anything else. It does one thing well, it puts out a hot torch flame like all torches. It just happens to use disposable lighters so that if you find yourself in a place where you can't use a refill cartridge, you can pop in a lighter (which you could find anywhere, even bumming one off a co-worker).We have been using ours for everything from heating shrink-wrap over cables to de-icing our car doors so we can open them this winter. We have even done some "emergency welding" (though it does a poor job at it) that held up to when we could get it properly repaired. One co-worker even lights his cigars with it!Thats why I gave it FOUR STARS. It only claims to be a butane torch that uses disposable lighters and thats exactly what it does. It doesn't work well enough to rate 5 stars, but this item has found its way into our travel-kit toolbox.
