Most cheap lighters only work in ideal conditions. There can't be any wind, a gust from a passing car, or an exhaled breath. Which is unfortunate, since most of the time you're trying to use a lighter outside or you're breathing. The pocket torch turns any dollar-store lighter into a high-powered flame that can re-focus its heat up to 2,300 degrees F. Easy to attach, this creates a wind-resistant burner that increases the lifespan of the average disposable lighter up to 60%.
