Butane Microtorch 518JET

Solder jewelry seams, melt precious metal scraps, anneal wire blanks, and glaze dental ceramics with pinpoint thermal accuracy. The HONEST® 518JET Professional Butane Microtorch is a heavy-duty, refillable bench gas torch built for jewelry studios, dental laboratories, and technical workshops. Engineered with a heat-resistant stainless steel burner nozzle and a ceramic-lined combustion core, it delivers a focused pinpoint blue flame exceeding 1300°C (2372°F). Featuring a high-capacity 35 ml internal fuel reservoir that provides up to 20 minutes of continuous burn time, a knurled rotary gas flow regulator, a safety lock mechanism, and a broad self-standing tabletop base, the 518JET combines high-temperature output with stable, single-handed operation.

Why Choose the HONEST® 518JET Microtorch

• High-Temperature Jet Flame (Over 1300°C / 2372°F): Delivers clean, concentrated thermal energy capable of melting gold and silver scraps, flowing hard solder on bezels, and annealing brass and copper workpieces quickly.

• 18 mm Precision Flame Adjustment: Responsive rear rotary valve lets you dial in the flame from a sharp 18 mm needle jet for delicate soldering joints to a bushy brush flame for wide-area surface annealing.

• Extended 20-Minute Continuous Burn Time: Generous 35 ml refillable gas chamber provides steady pressure and extended runtime, eliminating frequent refilling during multi-step soldering or metal-forming tasks.

• Ceramic-Insulated Stainless Steel Nozzle: High-grade brushed stainless steel combustion barrel lined with heat-insulating technical ceramic prevents nozzle degradation, backfiring, and heat creep into the body.

• Ergonomic Safety Lock & Push Trigger: Integrated safety interlock switch prevents accidental ignition in toolbags, while the rear thumb-operated trigger enables instant piezo-electric arc ignition.

• Stable Hands-Free Tabletop Base: Wide flared bottom flange allows the torch to stand securely upright on fireproof solder boards, keeping hot nozzles off the bench and freeing both hands to hold tweezers and solder picks.

• Recessed Universal Refill Port: Standard bottom brass valve accepts universal butane aerosol canisters with quick pressure equalization and leak-free seals.
