About the Manchester Handiboy Weed Burner Torch

The Manchester Handiboy is a portable, UL listed propane torch for weed burning, melting ice, preheating metal and farm work, and it is the kind of torch road crews use when patching potholes. The kit includes the burner, an excess-flow POL fitting and a 10 ft hose assembly, and a brass needle valve sets the flame up to 500,000 BTU. It suits property owners, farmers and maintenance crews who need a lot of controllable heat outdoors.

What comes in the kit

  • Handiboy burner with brass needle valve for flame control up to 500,000 BTU
  • Recessed orifice designed to resist wind
  • Excess-flow POL fitting for the cylinder connection
  • 10 ft hose assembly
  • Packed as a bubble-pack kit

Choosing the cylinder

The torch draws propane vapor, so Manchester calls for a vertical vapor-withdrawal cylinder that is secured upright while you work. The POL fitting threads into a POL-style cylinder valve.

Working safely

Before each use, check the hose and connections for leaks. Keep the flame pointed away from the cylinder and hose, and hold off on very dry or windy days when sparks can spread. Keep a fire extinguisher within reach, never walk away from a lit torch, and keep it away from children. Store and use propane cylinders outdoors, never in a garage, building or other enclosed space, and follow the maker's printed instructions.

Common questions

Can I adjust the flame? Yes. The brass needle valve lets you run anything from a low flame for spot weeds up to full output.

Is it only for weeds? No. Ice melting, preheating metal and asphalt work are all listed uses.
