Bernzomatic FirePoint Creator Tool, Precision Flame Hand Torch for use with Bernzomatic MAP-Pro or Propane Fuel (Firepoint Tool)

amazing tool for silversmithing and working with gold filled metal, easy to use and affordable

I actually bought this one for someone else, after using one when I started learning Silversmithing. The class I took wasn't able to complete our project because the butane torches at the clubhouse didn't produce enough heat. This is so much better than the little butane torches because you don't have to try & refill (most of the time losing half the fuel). Just put a new canister in the base (which lasts a long time) & twist it on! Nice adjustable flame and it's easy to maneuver (because you aren't holding the canister)! It will melt very small amounts of gold, silver, brass & copper but if you want to be able to melt more than about 0.5-1oz get something hotter (like an oxy/propane little torch with a rosebud tip). Don't have to worry about melting anything on the work bench from setting down the hot tip, or getting the tip dirty, as the base has a metal lined area to hold the torch!

Perfect for bench soldering and heating objects. Nice upgrade from having to hold the whole bottle while trying to do fine soldering.

Absolutely love this smaller torch adapter! Makes it so much easier! Great quality! Great flame adjustment!

Seems like a great tool. Here are my pros and cons. PROS: - very nice flame tip - great ergonomics. It just fits in my hand. Very functional - easy to operate and fast to set up - hole for the tool in the base is made in a way that stops tool from rotating freely. I like this - heat output is based on the gas you feed it and by adjusting the knob - It can also operate with EU Propane butane bottles (you have to have gas US to EU adapter) CONS: - There is no handle that would allow me to grab "the whole set-up" with one hand and move it. I think it's kind of obvious from the pictures, but I did not realize until the first time I had to move it. It is small and light weighted, but you need two hands to move it. - After a long operation, I do not feel comfortable to just slide it into the hole in the base. Even if it's reinforced with metal, it would surely melt after some time. Overall I think this is great value for money. To fix most cons, I designed and 3D printed holder which make this tool 5/5, but since I had to put in my work best I can give is 4/5. Holder can be found on printables. Just search "Bernzomatic Firepoint carry stand and adapter".

Very handy, easier to use than trying to hold the whole tank

Absolutely adore!!! Has made working with my sterling silver SO much easier vs. small hand held torch. LOVE this product!!!

I really like this product, it’s so practical and easy to use.

While it works well it does not melt silver like we thought it would, does not seem to get hot enough

Great bit of kit. Feels very tough and well built. Used for 3D print finishing but also handy for other jobs including mechanic work on cars. Feels like it will last a lifetime. Adam Savage uses the same one.

Great torch

I really like the level of precision from this. I do glass lamp working with 104coe glass and have previously used a hothead torch. While this is not as powerful as the hothead, it is much more precise, so I can do better fine detail work with it. It’s self ignition works well and so does the gas flow control. I use it with map pro gas and I find it’s giving me better value on the gas , too, because it burns at a slower rate.
