Give Yourself More Artistic Freedom with the BernzOmatic FirePoint Creator Tool
Hand-held torches have been on the market for a long time. Just when you would think there is not much room to improve, the folks over at BernzOmatic introduce the FirePoint Creator Tool.
Using the BernzOmatic FirePoint Creator Tool
This handheld torch pairs the power of precision with intense direct heat. Getting started is incredibly easy, too.
The bottle stand supports both 14-ounce and 1-pound fuel cylinders. Additionally, there are three holes in the base of the stand so you can permanently mount it to your workbench.
Once the fuel cylinder is in place, thread on the valve and the BernzOmatic FirePoint Creator Tool is good to go. The valve design is pretty simple with only ON/OFF positions. It’s also worth noting that gas will not free-flow in the “ON” position. We love the simple yet clear design of this valve.
On the business end, the torch handle is designed for single-handed use and the flexible hose provides 41 inches of reach. It has an auto on/off ignition button and also has a lock-on option for continuous use. When your work is done, you can stow the torch in a heat-resistant torch dock to safely store the hot tool after switching off the flame.
Pro Tip: Disconnect your fuel cylinder when not using it to prevent potential slow leaks.
BernzOmatic FirePoint Creator Tool Design Notes
Ergonomics
The overall look and feel of this BernzOmatic torch are certainly premium. A textured rubber overmold encapsulates the torch handle so you can maintain a secure grip during precision tasks. The ignition button and flow control dial are positioned nicely for one-handed operation.
