Turboflame Special Ops Blowtorch Locking Fire Lighter
The new Military Turboflame Special Ops version, like the previous model Turboflame ® Original, is essential for any outdoor enthusiast’s survival kit, but now with a new soft rubber body in military colours.
Its jet-like precision flame reaches temperatures up to 1300c and has a lock on flame that makes it a handy pocket blow-torch which can withstand 10 minutes of continuous use.
Ideal for safely lighting HEXI blocks in seconds, even in the worst weather conditions.
Turboflame ‘clean burn’ technology means it can also melt synthetic materials without depositing black carbon, so outdoor equipment can be quick fixed without discolouration.
Outdoor enthusiasts include Turbo flame in their emergency kits to melt p-tex, seal micro - cracks in boards and canoes, cut and seal PARA rope and blast rust from metal. Turboflame work up to 3000 metres altitiude and don’t ‘self-combust’ at high altitudes.
All in all,Turbo flame is the perfect accompaniment to the pocket-knife and flashlight - a must for any survival kit.
