This is my second GB2001. I bought it because I believe it is the best, most durable and reliable self-igniting torch available. My first GB2001 failed after around six years of light to moderate use. A seal failed and flames would shoot up from the top of the torch as well as the front. At the Blazer website, I saw that I could return my out-of-warranty torch for repair or replacement for $26. But, that turned out not to be true. I got a phone call from the service center and was told my torch was not repairable, and they would return my $26 check and my torch. So what they meant was they will only replace a torch that is still under warranty, but they will repair an out-of-warranty torch for $26, as long as they deem it repairable. Despite that issue, the GB2001 is still the best, in my opinion.
