gas torch
Handheld fuel burner
A gas torch is a handheld tool that produces a controlled flame by burning fuel gas, used for welding, soldering, cutting metal, or applying heat to surfaces.
Plumbers use gas torches to join copper pipes; jewelers use smaller versions for delicate metalwork.
Also called a blowtorch, though blowtorch often implies a more portable, self-contained unit.
