About TorchBench
Welcome to TorchBench. We write practical guides to propane torches and the jobs they do around a yard, a workshop and a campsite.
Most torch advice online is thin: a list of products with no explanation of what actually matters. We try to do the opposite. Each guide explains the specs that change how a torch performs, the safety rules that apply to the job, and which kind of buyer a given model suits.
What We Cover
Weed and brush burning, soldering and plumbing, torch heads, kits and tanks, lighting charcoal, searing food, and the safety basics behind all of it. Every guide is written to answer a specific question a buyer or a first-time user has.
Meet the Team
Every article is written by a named editor — not an anonymous byline. Here's who's behind TorchBench:
- TorchBench Editors — Editorial Team
The TorchBench editorial team researches propane torches and writes our product pages and guides from manufacturer specifications, published safety guidance and verified owner feedback. We do not test products ourselves.
Our Research & Recommendation Approach
We do not run a test workshop and we do not claim hands-on testing. We work from manufacturer specifications, product documentation and verified owner feedback, and we say so. Where a figure comes from a manufacturer, we attribute it to the manufacturer. You can read more on our Editorial Process page.
Every TorchBench article is written by a named editor and checked for accuracy before it is published. Our recommendations come from documented specifications, manufacturer guidance and verified owner feedback. We do not test torches ourselves, and we attribute performance figures to the manufacturer. We base our picks on that research rather than on commission rates.
Safety First
A propane torch is a tool that produces an open flame. Our guides describe safe use as a baseline: outdoors or with good ventilation, away from people, pets and anything flammable, and in line with local fire rules and burn bans. Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Affiliate Transparency
As an Amazon Associate, TorchBench earns from qualifying purchases. If you click some of our links and buy, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change which products we recommend. For some products, including the PricoJoy 8806, the brand also pays us a commission through Amazon's Creator Connections.
