Product Information

Full details

This Sealey Heating/Soldering Torch (AK2936) is designed for professionals needing a reliable, high-performance tool for daily use in demanding workshop environments. Its key benefit lies in its powerful, adjustable flame reaching up to 1300°C, coupled with safe, piezoelectric ignition and a child safety lock. A potential caveat for some users might be its compact size, which offers maneuverability but a limited runtime of 30 minutes per fill.

FAQs

How long does a full tank last?

A full tank provides up to 30 minutes of runtime, depending on the flame setting used.

What type of fuel should I use?

This torch is designed for standard butane lighter fuel. Ensure the fuel is 100% butane for best performance and cleanliness.

How do I adjust the flame size?

Use the gas adjustment dial located near the base of the torch. Turn it clockwise to decrease the flame and counter-clockwise to increase it.

Is this torch suitable for detailed soldering work?

Yes, the adjustable flame and stable base make it well-suited for detailed soldering and other precision tasks.

What is the maximum temperature the flame can reach?

The adjustable flame can reach temperatures of up to 1300°C.

Does it come with fuel?

No, the torch is shipped empty and requires standard butane lighter fuel to be purchased separately.

How do I activate the child safety lock?

The child safety lock is typically engaged by a secondary lever or by positioning the gas adjustment dial in a specific 'locked' position, consult the product manual for precise operation.

Troubleshooting

Torch fails to ignite

Ensure the torch is properly filled with butane. Check that the gas adjustment dial is slightly open. Clean the ignition tip if obstructed. Try re-pressing the ignition button firmly.

Flame is weak or sputtering

The fuel level may be low, requiring a refill. Check for any blockages at the nozzle or air intake. Ensure the gas adjustment is set correctly for the desired flame strength.

Flame is unstable

Allow the torch to stabilize for a minute after refilling. Ensure the torch is held upright during operation. Check for any leaks around the refill valve.

Ignition button is stiff

Gently try to work the button free. If persistent, a small amount of graphite lubricant may be applied to the button mechanism (ensure no fuel is present and it's fully cooled).

  • Compact size might be less ergonomic for users accustomed to larger tools.
  • Requires separate purchase of butane fuel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, ensure the torch is cool and empty. Unscrew the refill valve at the base. Insert a standard butane lighter fuel canister and press down firmly to refill until fuel stops flowing. Allow a few minutes for the gas to stabilize before igniting. Turn the gas adjustment dial to the desired flame size, then press the piezoelectric ignition button.

Compatibility: This torch is compatible with standard butane lighter fuel. Ensure the fuel type is clearly labeled as butane.

Care: Always allow the torch to cool completely before cleaning or refilling. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents. Periodically check the nozzle for any debris and clean gently if necessary. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
