More than a mere “step-change,” the new QUICKFIRE torch features advancements in torch technology that will appeal to trade professionals and serious home improvement enthusiasts, alike:
- Compact profile — the visual appearance of the new QUICKFIRE Torch is striking, bringing to mind the look of a cordless drill more than a traditional torch. With a 40 percent height reduction, QUICKFIRE’s design adds maneuverability and control in tight spaces for multiple applications.
- 30 percent faster soldering time — featuring a high-intensity swirl flame, QUICKFIRE provides a hotter, more efficient flame for 30 percent faster soldering time*. This high-performance torch also has an adjustable flame control for accuracy and precision, delivering the highest heat output in its category.
- QUICK-START — QUICKFIRE’s instant on/off trigger equates efficiency and ease, and its, speedier performance on the jobsite translates into more productivity . . . and more revenue for the trade professional.
- QUICK-CONNECT Cylinder — compact and efficient, the QUICK-CONNECT cylinder is ready to go with only a quarter turn. One cylinder provides enough fuel to solder 200 fittings—enough to plumb an entire house. QUICK-CONNECT uses Max Power Propylene fuel, which is 20 percent hotter — and faster — than propane fuel.
“For decades BernzOmatic has been recognized as the leading innovator in torch development and, with the introduction of the QUICKFIRE torch, we have taken torch design to a new standard of excellence,” said Jon Schlosser, Director of Product Marketing for Bernzomatic. “This new innovative design will amaze torch users with its advanced functionality and incredible versatility. Our R&D and exhaustive field trials with the QUICKFIRE have triggered phenomenal responses. From pro-quality water heater installs to home projects, end-users’ response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.”
The new QUICKFIRE torch is available for distribution nationally to all major home center channels as of November 17, 2009, with a MSRP of $69.99 and replacement QUICK-CONNECT cylinders priced at $7.47.
