Full details
The Dapetz Wand Blowtorch (DP08398) is designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking a chemical-free method to manage weeds in driveways, patios, and garden paths.

FAQs
Does the Dapetz blowtorch come with gas?
No, the gas canister is sold separately and is not included with the unit.
Can I use this on wooden decking?
It is not recommended to use the torch on wooden decking or near flammable structures as it poses a significant fire hazard.
How do I turn off the flame?
Turn the control knob to the closed position to stop the gas flow entirely, then allow the nozzle to cool before storage.
Is it safe to use in windy conditions?
Using the torch in windy conditions is not recommended as it makes the flame difficult to control and may blow the heat away from the target weeds.
Does the torch kill the roots?
The torch kills the top growth by destroying the cell structure; for stubborn weeds, you may need to repeat the process over several sessions.
Troubleshooting
The torch fails to ignite
Check that the gas canister is securely attached and that there is sufficient fuel remaining in the canister.
Flame is weak or sputtering
Ensure the control knob is open enough and verify that the burner nozzle is not blocked by dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the unit, ensure the gas control knob is fully closed before attaching your gas canister according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Periodically check the burner nozzle for any debris or soot buildup to maintain optimal performance.
