Gas Blowtorch Garden Weed Burner

Product Information

Even if your garden is mostly patio, weeds can still rear their ugly heads between the slabs and ruin its neat appearance.

This gas weed burner fired out immediate, blazing heat which completely burned away nearly all of the oxalis, dandelions, weeds and moss I applied it to, even when holding it above 15 cm. It’s good to have the choice because the low temperature setting is useful for other tasks, such as lighting the BBQ in summer or melting ice and snow in the winter.Each weed only needs a few seconds of exposure to the heat to be killed, making this process far more economical than traditional weed killers. Other than the confusing hook, there’s just a small clip for the cable on the extension pole which moves up and down. Also, I noted that it was fairly quiet; you could definitely use this for some early-morning weed toasting and not offend the neighbours.

Marketed as a 3-in-1 multifunction electric weed burner, this tool has an output of 2000 watts and can be used as a weed burner, heat gun, and BBQ lighter amongst other things. One thing to bear in mind, of course, is to be really careful when using a weed burner; these are some serious temperatures we’re talking about. They’re a more environmentally friendly option compared to gas weed burners; however, because don’t get as hot it can take more applications to fully kill off weeds.There’s a button to select the temperature, and after pressing you simply hover the burner 5 cm above the offending weed for 5 seconds. You just have to remove the pole and twist the body head (it only goes in one direction so you can’t it get it wrong).

Lightweight models below 1 kg were also rated higher on safety, as these were easier to handle and manoeuvre.

This means this TooltTronix weed burner is slightly cooler than the Urban Garden and Parklands burners by 50°C. As mentioned, I think it offers good value for money as well, given that it’s so powerful, and all things considered I think it’s one of the best weed burners overall. I’d also like more cable length, which is something that is offered by the Parkland and Urban Garden electric weed burners. After the first burning, the weeds looked wilted and the results were similar to other electric burner efforts.A gas blow torch is better when a strong naked flame is needed for any bigger melting, soldering or joining jobs. It’s a good-looking piece of kit, especially if you like Kawasaki green, and pretty powerful to boot. They completely died off and left no visible traces of life, so I don’t think they’ll be coming back either.
