BernzOmatic Redefines Hand Torch Mobility with the Next Generation Trigger Start Hose Torch
With Crowd Stopping Reach, this Revolutionary Torch is Sure to Generate Hose Envy
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. October 29, 2008 — BernzOmatic®, a leading global manufacturer of hand-held torches and accessories, today unveils the new Trigger Start Hose Torch. This torch, the latest from the company that continually transforms the power of the flame into professional quality results, redefines mobility with advanced features and outstanding design.
Farewell to difficult maneuverability and hard-to-reach places. The Trigger Start Hose Torch, BernzOmatic’s newest innovation, is one of the most advanced torches in the market today. It includes an exhaustive array of features, including an industry-leading five-foot hose and fuel cylinder holster – providing added convenience, maximum mobility, and amazing accessibility. This professional grade torch’s high intensity swirl flame provides a hotter, more efficient flame to get the job done faster. Plus, the lightweight, ergonomic design provides ultra comfort and fit, delivering effective control and maneuverability. In fact, it’s BernzOmatic’s most comfortable and portable torch available.
Like all BernzOmatic torches, the Trigger Start Hose Torch is constructed for durability, with convincing features like a solid brass regulator that’s pressure-regulated to burn in any direction imaginable, and a stainless steel burn tube that’s built to last. The instant-on/off trigger igniter enables simple, one-handed operation; and the adjustable flame control knob allows the user to easily size the flame for specific applications and uses. Plus, it includes a lock button to keep the torch lit for finger-free use.
The fuel cylinder holster that’s included with this torch attaches easily and securely with a comfortable belt clip. It has a carrying handle for added portability, and a burn tube holder to store the burn tube when the torch is not in use.
“The launch of our new Trigger Start Hose Torch was driven by extensive research into user preferences,” says Nick Morrisroe, Vice President of Marketing for BernzOmatic. “There are an extremely limited number of hose torches in the marketplace today, but they really don’t include any advanced features such as a trigger start or adjustable flame, nor do they include a hose that’s long enough to easily maneuver into tight or inconvenient spaces. What really sets this torch apart is the five-foot hose – it’s an incredible 12 inches longer than the current industry standard. Consumers simply want safe, reliable torches and they need tools to help them get the job done faster. We listened. And we delivered. This new torch offers everything you would expect from a BernzOmatic product, and delivers everything consumers demand.”
The Trigger Start Hose Torch is yet another innovation from BernzOmatic, the experts in fire and heat technology. All Trigger Start Hose Torches include a complimentary fuel cylinder holster for added mobility. It’s available in a torch-only package, or as an integrated solution that includes BernzOmatic’s latest premium fuel, the Fat Boy™ Max Power Propylene fuel cylinder.
The Trigger Start Hose Torch is available at home improvement and hardware stores nationwide.
