Kick off your next metalworking project with a blow torch and all the accessories you need from Homebase. As mentioned, I think it offers good value for money as well, given that it’s so powerful, and all things considered I think it’s one of the best weed burners overall. All in all, this weed burner is a fantastic choice if you’ve got larger, stubborn weeds that require more than a quick once over with a lighter duty burner. There’s no indication that the burner is cool enough to touch (although most burners don’t have a way to show this).

The handle is a long way from the burning end, so I had to concentrate to hold it in the required 5 cm hover position. Some of the best weed burners will have two temperature options, offering a low and high temperature. One slight downside is that some residual gas always seems to remain in the pipe after you’ve removed the butane cannister, so be sure to burn that off and let it all cool down before storing.One, you can adjust the length of the unit to suit your height, improving the comfort of your experience. Generally, all weed burners come with instructions about how long you need to hold the burner over the weed, and from what height.

Capable of reaching temperatures of over 1000 ° C, I found that one treatment with a gas burner was enough to see weeds disappear. The device is comfortable and flexible to use thanks to its 5-m-long cable, its total length of 85cm and the gas control valve. The gas canister has a bayonet fitting and it clips into place, you twist the knob to allow gas into the pipe, and press the ignition straight away.Whilst some units only come with one nozzle attachment – usually a cone shaped nozzle for targeting a small area – others can come with various options included. While not the most advanced weed burner on the market, it throws out a decent flame and remains pretty controllable. Some electric weed burners are very light and can be used with one hand, this makes them easy to manoeuvre and control (and also means that the spare hand can be used to keep the power cable out of the way). Although this burner is great for weed killing, it’s not for the faint hearted and the high output makes it a lot tougher to use than others on the market. Finally, there is a 5 metre power cable included which is a much more reasonable length than the burners which have a cable of under 2 metres.
