Was looking around for a weed burner and all those cheap one pretty often get faulty fast so to avoid disappointment wanted one with warranty. Aldi offers one with 36 months warranty at 13.99 with one 336g gas bottle (burns up to 50mins). The cheapest on ebay are about 1-2 quid cheaper without gas as well as with no warranty so looks alright for me. That one is also slightly longer (970mm).
Need to get rid of weeds from my driveway and paving without using chemicals. Also good for lighting BBQ.

£9.99 without gas - good price though compared to elsewhere.
Heat added op
Must admit they are pretty useless
However I have one of these and it is pretty useless, plus any dry material near the weed will catch. So I went back to buying glycophosphate which does an amazing job. Get 5 litres of concentrate for about £30, it will make up over 600 litres of weed killer. Perfect for a knapsack sprayer but not so great for the environment. oO
Not so bad for annual weeds, although very very slow as it needs much more heating than you suggest; but for perennial weeds unless you just about totally "cook" the root, which is usually not easy to do they pop back up in a matter of days or weeks. I only use mine on paths where I don't want to use salt which is where I don't want it to leach elsewhere. Generally I don't use weedkiller unless I really don't have an alternative
I won't bother to buy a new one if mine conks out.
Significant investment compared to gas wands but can clear large areas quickly and great fun.
It's not the size of your weed wand that matters it's how you use it.
Great on dandelions coming through flags
Nasty toxic stuff to pets and kids, plus walked into the house is a great way to end up with spotted carpets! About a teaspoon of salt is far safer and works perfectly.
