The Blazer GT8000 Big Shot butane torch is a refillable gas torch with a brass frame nozzle and attachable base. The torch creates a precise flame emitting from a nozzle head allowing direct heat application to an object. It is used for detailed purposes such as brazing plumbing soldering jewelry making and culinary dental and lab applications. The GT8000 has an anti-flare brass frame nozzle for safety and flame control. Its design is intended for a low blow-out rate when held in various positions or where access is difficult or space is limited. Its head is angled and it comes with an attachable tabletop base for hands-free work. It features a gas-flow adjustment dial to control flame length. The torch houses a piezoelectric ignition system which is based on a pressurized molecular reaction and requires no electrical connection. Piezoelectric energy occurs when the trigger is activated releasing a small spring-loaded internal hammer that strikes a crystal producing a spark and resulting in gas flame ignition. With a maximum flame temperature of 2500 degrees F the GT8000 has a continuous burn time of approximately 35 minutes at maximum fuel volume and has a 35-gram gas capacity. The torch has an angled head and its flame range is 1.25 to 5.0 inches. It has a safety component that offers manual lock of the ignition when not in use.
