	It's Time to Clear the Air

	To do real work, you need real tools.
	The Magna-Lite from Weller is the first butane micro torch designed for real work.

That’s enough energy to thaw frozen locks, seal the ends of synthetic rope, contract heat-shrink tubing, and perform countless other tasks around the home, shop, boat, or campsite. The Weller Magna-Lite is also one of the few products in its category to be reviewed and approved for consumer safety by the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
