Product Description
The Iroda PT-550 Pro-Torch is a high-performance, cordless butane torch designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a powerful, reliable, and versatile heat tool for demanding tasks. Engineered with advanced technology, the PT-550 delivers a robust 1300°C (2400°F) wind-resistant flame, precision control, and a durable, ergonomic design. With a focus on safety, portability, and extended runtime, this torch excels in applications ranging from plumbing and automotive repairs to culinary arts and jewelry making. Its sturdy construction and user-friendly features make it an essential tool for workshops, job sites, and creative projects.
Key Features
Powerful and Adjustable Flame
The PT-550 produces a wind-resistant flame with a maximum temperature of 1300°C (2400°F), ideal for tasks requiring high BTU output. Its precision flame control, enabled by an adjustable airflow valve, allows users to customize the flame size and intensity, from a pinpoint flame for delicate soldering to a broader jet for heavy-duty brazing. The flame’s stability in windy conditions ensures consistent performance, making it suitable for outdoor use in challenging environments.
Water-Resistant Piezo Ignition
Featuring a state-of-the-art water-resistant piezo electronic ignition system, the PT-550 offers instant and reliable flame activation with a single press of the ignition button. This self-igniting mechanism eliminates the need for external lighters, ensuring dependable performance in damp or windy conditions. Unlike the PT-500, the PT-550 requires the trigger to be held or a hands-free lever engaged for continuous flame operation, providing flexibility for both short and prolonged tasks.
Extended Fuel Capacity
The PT-550 is equipped with a 53ml butane fuel tank, offering up to 30 minutes of continuous use at mid-setting or longer at lower settings. Refillable with Iroda Brand Butane or other high-quality butane (sold separately), the torch ensures sufficient runtime for most professional and DIY projects. A quick-refill system allows users to replenish the tank in seconds, minimizing downtime.
Robust and Ergonomic Design
Crafted with a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum body, the PT-550 is built to withstand the rigors of professional use while remaining lightweight at 323g (empty). The ergonomic non-slip handle ensures comfortable, secure handling, reducing fatigue during extended use. A wide base supports hands-free operation, allowing the torch to stand securely on flat surfaces for stationary tasks. The ceramic flame guard and all-metal gas chamber enhance durability, protecting internal components from heat and wear.
Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is a priority with the PT-550, which includes a hands-free lever-safety button that allows users to lock the flame for continuous operation or release it to extinguish, reducing the risk of accidental burns. A child-resistant ignition system prevents unauthorized use, making it safe for storage in busy workshops or homes. The torch’s design complies with safety standards, and users are advised to avoid continuous use beyond 10 minutes to prevent overheating and to store it away from heat sources above 120°F (50°C).
Applications
The Iroda PT-550 Pro-Torch is a versatile tool tailored for a wide range of professional and DIY applications, including:

-
Electronics and Electrical Work: Suitable for larger electronic components and heat-shrink applications, though not recommended for micro-electronics due to its high output.
-
Jewelry Making: Provides controlled heat for soldering precious metals, with careful adjustment for fine work.
-
Culinary Arts: Excels in professional kitchens for caramelizing sugars, searing meats, or creating intricate dessert finishes.
-
Welding and Metalwork: Supports small-scale welding and brazing tasks with its high-temperature flame.
-
Crafts and Hobbies: Useful for heat-based projects like embossing, paint stripping, or model building.
-
General Repairs: Handles home, marine, and small engine repairs, including pipe work and heat treatments.
Note: The PT-550 is not recommended for wet surfaces or ultra-fine electronics soldering, where lower-output tools may be more appropriate.

Best Torch
This is probably one of the best torches I've ever used. Great product. I own the PT-500 version as well. Same torch, but you don't have to hold the button down to keep the flame lit. And, the flame can be adjusted. Great tool to have.
