blowtorches
Handheld fire devices
Blowtorches are handheld devices that produce an intense, focused flame for welding, soldering, or cutting metal.
Smaller versions appear in kitchens for caramelizing sugar or browning surfaces: She used a blowtorch on the crème brûlée.
Figuratively, to blowtorch something is to attack it with fierce intensity.
