Iwatani International Iwatani PRO2 Culinary Butane Torch for sous vide, Adjustable Flame with Reverse Use for Desserts, Creme Brulee, BBQ and Baking (Butane Fuel Not Included)

This was recommended by a chef I admire. I was going to get a cheaper one, but realised it is best to go with a well known brand when the item might explode in your hand! Some of the cheaper ones had scary reviews.I would rather have an intact hand than the £25 I would have saved.

The top just sheared right off. The metal was soft and cheap. We have another of these that works great but this one was faulty

good

I ordered this as a gift and they have just opened it to find it is broken, can I please have a replacement or a refund please

Despite Iwatani being mentioned many times in the product name and description, upon arrival the packaging only mentions "Fapend". I have contacted Iwatani and they have made it clear that they have no affiliation with this other company. I bought this specifically because I had seen recommendations for the Iwatani PRO2. This product appears similar, but because it is actually manufactured by a different company, there is no guarantee that it will offer the same performance or safety characteristics.
