The Blazer little Buddy II torch lighter is a butane refillable pocket lighter. It is used for cigar, pipes, and cigarette-lighting. It can also be used as a reliable fire starter in a cold wet outdoor environment. Ideal for any camping or any survival Kit gear. The made in Japan little Buddy II features 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 2,300 Degrees F, the little Buddy II has a continuous burn time of approximately 30 minutes, at maximum fuel volume, and has a 4 gram butane gas capacity. It produces a wind-resistant, Blue torch flame with a range of 0.75 to 2.0 inches. It measures 3.0 (L) x 1.25 (W) x 0.75 (D) inches and weighs 1 ounce. Since 1985, Blazer products has created an array of professional and industrial tools and equipment. Located in Farmingdale, NY, the company manufactures a variety of Micro torches, Lighters and Blazer brand butane. Blazer products is known worldwide for its original Micro torch products. The little Buddy II torch lighter operates with a standard butane canister (not included).
