Pros: - Works in any angle
- Refillable
- Strong flame
- Strong metal body (plastic container inside however)
Cons: - Cap and lock switch are not very high quality.
- Apparently finicky about butane quality; the nozzle started working badly, filling completely full by freezing the lighter and warming the butane can helped for some time but got unreliable. Quality lighters etc devices have been fine with all the butane bottles I have used, cheap ones sometimes not.
Other Thoughts: Good for melting ice from metal things like locks. Would melt thin metal but no use for that. Also good for lighting candles in cans and fireplaces as works upside down. Too bad it might require gas that costs more than the lighter by a bottle, a couple of more $ in the lighter quality might save gas costs if you use it a lot.
Bottomline: Initially very good, was going to order a bunch until it started acting unreliably (probably due to cheap Ronson gas.
Very Good Jet Lighter

Pros: This is a very nice torch. It works and it melts metal if you wish to.
The torch is easy to use and is highly effective. Recommended!!
Cons: It consumes LOADS of butane so be prepared.
It also has a problem with the dispensing.
if you press and hold it for a period and then lets go the torch will not stop torching immediately. It continues to torch for a while until it "dims" out.
Also the cap is not as high quality as the rest of the torch.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Nice torch for a pretty penny.
I highly recommend it to everyone because it's easy to use and is highly effective.
really good

Pros: - Heavy nice metal, not flimsy at all
- nice strong blue flame
- looks really good
- didnt need to recalibrate to light
Cons: - the cap quality is very low, as its the standard cap of the cheaper jet lighters, so it could give him a cheap look only for that.
- The lock button actually works unlike in the other jet lighters
- its big and unconfortable for pocket, but almost all jet lighters are.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Im really impressed with the quality build, this is superior than the average quality you find in DealExtreme, really recommended.
