Description:
The Free Hand Automatic Torch Lighter is a handheld, trigger-style igniter designed to light a torch without needing to strike a flint by hand. It uses a built-in ignition mechanism that produces a consistent spark at the tip, letting you ignite fuel at the torch face while keeping your fingers away from the flame area. This style of lighter is commonly used at the lampworking bench for quick, repeatable torch starts and relights, especially when you want one-handed operation while the other hand is stabilizing your torch valves or holding a tool.
How it is used:
- Open your fuel gas slightly at the torch and confirm you have a safe, controlled flow.
- Hold the lighter so the sparking tip is positioned just in front of the torch face.
- Squeeze the trigger to generate a spark and ignite the gas.
- Adjust flame chemistry and add oxygen as needed once the flame is established.
- Keep the lighter away from hot torch surfaces and store it where it will not be exposed to heat or falling glass.
