The Turbo-Flame Windproof Lighter (mini blow-torch) has stood the test of time, sporting a heavy duty metal alloy body with rubberised coating for easy grip and available in black or olive. Its jet-like precision flame reaches temperatures of up to 1300c and has a continuous flame lock that makes it a handy pocket blow-torch which can withstand up to 10 minutes of continuous use.

The very large gas reservoir allows this lighter to carry enough fuel for up to 850 short ignitions or total burn time of 17 minutes (maximum allowable continuous burn time 10 minutes) – see operating instructions for more details: http://www.turboflame.co.uk/maintenance.php Ideal for safely lighting HEXI blocks in seconds, even in the worst weather conditions. The rubber safety cap detaches from the lighter body to avoid cap overheating during continuous flame use. When using the continuous flame lock you can hold the lighter in one hand and reach tight spots such as gas pilot lights and lanterns.

Turboflame® ‘clean burn’ technology means it can also melt synthetic material without depositing black carbon, so outdoor equipment can be quick fixed without discolouration. Outdoor enthusiasts include Turbo flame in their emergency kits to melt p-tex, seal micro - cracks in boards and canoes, cut and seal PARA rope and blast rust from metal. Turboflame work up to 3000 M (12,000 ft) altitude and don’t ‘self-combust’ at high altitudes.

All in all, Turboflame® Military model is the perfect accompaniment to the pocket-knife and flashlight - a must for any survival kit. Ideal for outdoor pursuit enthusiasts, field repairs and craft workers.
