Gas Blowtorch Garden Weed Burner

Product Information

If the grass is very dry, using a weed burner could cause it to set on fire, so be careful about where and when you use it. Ignition failed after first use and it was not very effective when following instructions to hold 15cm from weeds. The ToolTronix electric weed burner clearly affected the health of the weeds, but didn’t get rid of them completely. It arrives fully assembled so there’s no risk of you putting it together wrong, while it’s compatible with a range of sizes of gas canister. Producing a large amount of heat in a concentrated area, they can be held directly over the offending weeds, burning them and killing them off.

However, I quickly worked out the ‘knack’, and my tip is to press harder than you think whilst gently twisting at the same time. This means that there is also no tripping hazard as there would be with a mains-powered burner, and no chance of accidentally burning through a cable.Our allotment was getting somewhat overgrown with dandylions and thistles and I was fed up of trying to dig them out. It’s a good-looking piece of kit, especially if you like Kawasaki green, and pretty powerful to boot.

This is good value although I’m disappointed that I can’t benefit from the dual functionality of this machine. Weed burners that were well-balanced and had ergonomic moulded handles were also rated higher, as these were more comfortable to use. Generally, all weed burners come with instructions about how long you need to hold the burner over the weed, and from what height. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I found it pretty easy to adjust the flame size using the control knob, and this isn’t too sensitive.While this burner can be used for a range of tasks thanks to the high output, there’s no additional nozzles included that would make it more versatile.
