l review After reading many on-line comments as well as the journal tidbit about these heat tools, and calling Jensen *twice* (800 426-1194), I got a catalogue, and lo and behold they have a new item that competes with the Ultratorch UT 100Si (stands for self-igniting, but means push button ignition). The Ultratorch is now priced at 103. (item #10B400), and the metal carrying case for it is 17.75 (item # 10B040). The Weller Portasol PSI 100K has very similar function. The ignition is a slide-click button instead of push button, but same effect of being able to light up with one hand. It sells for 82.00 (item # 60B200) and comes in a plastic carrying case. I ordered both to feel them in my hands before deciding, although if you intend to return one you cannot have filled it with butane, that would be shipping a hazardous substance, so I had to *pretend* use them, which was easy enough. The Ultratorch is a longer, more slender and better balanced tool. The metal box, IMHO, is a little goofy. I sent the Portasol back along with the box made for the ultratorch.
