HotBlade-X - Mini Torch

The HotBlade-X mini torch can be used to heat or ignite items, and can serve several other purposes:

• Solder

• Remove rusted nuts from bolts
• Light the grill
• Apply shrink tubing
• Light candles

HotBlade-X - SS Cutting Blade

The mini torch can heat the SS blade to over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and slice through most line, cordage, rope, up to ¾-inch diameter, like a hot knife through butter. Use the HotBlade-X to slice webbing, and repair tattered canvas and sail cloth. Slice onto the attached cutting plate so the hot blade will not mar the boat’s fiberglass. Rest heated blade on plate when done.

To heat HotBlade-X / Mini-Torch, release safety by pulling red lever back, then ignite torch by pushing red lever down. Before slicing line, allow 15-20 seconds to heat the stainless steel cutting edge to 2000 degrees. Allow blade to melt through line. Do not press hard. Always use attached cutting plate when using the HotBlade-X.

Note: The HotBlade-X is not intended for production or industrial usage.
