Even so, it’s well balanced and ergonomically designed, and I think the safety clips for the cable increase its value further.
The Bond Hardware Butane Weed Gas Burner represents fantastic value for money, as it comes with 8 small gas canisters included and has a much more affordable price tag than other weed burners on this list. While I still found the flame size adequate for my needs (small weeds as opposed to large), it doesn’t have quite the oomph as other models. Independent: We will tell you exactly what we think of a product and we would never recommend anything we wouldn't use ourselves.
Testing & Customers Reviews
This machine has clips along its length to stop the cable from touching the hot bits. I view this as a definite improvement on the design of the ToolTronix and URBAN GARDEN electric weed burners. I think it’s important to have these clips as they stop you from accidently burning through the cable. This gas burner marks an efficient and eco-friendly way to zap weeds. There’s no need for chemicals, simply blast small weeds with this burner and they will die off within a couple of days. The garden is left safe for pets and children after use. Overall it's easy to use. You simply plug it in, switch the power to 2, then give it a minute to get to 600 degrees and burn the weeds." The handle is ergonomically shaped, and the weed burner is 100% cordless so you can walk around with no trailing cables or power supply. I always find this to be a great characteristic to look out for because when tools are more straight forward to use, I’m more likely to go to the trouble of getting them out of the shed in the first place. The handy afterburner keeps the gas burning slowly until you press a turbo blast trigger that unleashes a direct burst of extra heat to destroy the unwanted weeds even in the places that are impossible to reach with a shovel.
It takes 45 seconds to heat up which is similar to other electric burners, and you hold the nozzle over the weed for up to 10 seconds. This is longer than the Tooltronix and Parklands recommended burn time. Disadvantages: Fragile, lightweight gradesdegrade in 2-4 months, easily damagedby wind, although heavier grades will be less prone to damage In terms of weight, it’s lighter than the Parklands, Tooltronix and URBN GARDEN electric weed burners, so I’d recommend it if you struggle with heavy garden tools. At a guess, I’d say it’s about a quarter of the standard weight of an electric weed burner, even with the gas cannister in place. The ToolTronix electric weed burner clearly affected the health of the weeds, but didn’t get rid of them completely. I feel that at least one more round of burning would be required to fully get rid of them.I tested this tool in 2021 as a friend has one – I found it performed just as well as the Draper weed burner I own and have previously tested. In fact, I can’t see much of a difference between the two products. I sensed he was experiencing that same sort of caveman/fire-loving connection that often draws men to a BBQ. In fact, about 30 seconds into burning the weeds he shouted ‘Hey! I can use this to light the BBQ!’ so my suspicions were correct. After testing several weed burners, my top recommendation is the Green Habitats Weed Burner . It’s a gas propane option that reaches a maximum temperature of 1300°C. I saw big weeds shrivel and disappear in the weeks after using this burner once. If you don’t want to mess around with fuel canisters, choose an electric weed burner with a maximum temperature of 600 – 700 ° C. These may need a few applications, but they’ll make weeds shrivel. If you don’t feel comfortable with an open flame, electric burners are the way to go .
It has lots of burning nozzles included (even though it doesn’t say what to do with them…), and reaches a higher temperature than other electronic versions. It’s good to have the choice because the low temperature setting is useful for other tasks, such as lighting the BBQ in summer or melting ice and snow in the winter. Another positive in terms of safety is its weight. It’s so light weight that you don’t have to support the burning end with your other hand. Hands can be kept well away from the heat source which is great. That was the most effective against the weeds for us that works because we are often using it on days like today where there's a lot of sun around, which means that our solar panels are completely offsetting their electricity consumption. For us, this is a really nice green clean alternative definitely."
In terms of weight, this burner is light enough to hover easily above weeds although I did need a second hand to keep the extension pole steady. The handle is a long way from the burning end, so I had to concentrate to hold it in the required 5 cm hover position. This weed removal device could not be easier to operate. Simply plug it into mains power, choose a heat setting and then point it at the weeds. Higher heat settings are necessary, so if it has two heat settings be sure to choose the highest – usually between 600-650°C. The picture above shows the condition of the weed immediately after using the electric weed burner. Chemical-free weed killing methods have become popular in recent years as consumers are now more aware of the dangers chemicals pose to human and animal health. They’re lightweight and less effort than other weed-removal methods. Removing weeds by hand with a weeding tool can be time consuming and painful on the knees. Similarly, mixing herbicides can take a while as they need to be prepared properly. By contrast, a weed burner can be used whilst standing and takes very little time to heat up.
