Can't help but think of the not-a-flamethrower

(friend bought one for $500, now they seem to be worth $1500-$2000)

Isn't it just a relabeled weed burner?

  • Reshaping of a classic blowtorch - if you're looking for a level up, try the Rodenator - less immediate flame, way more bang at the end.

    • The Rodenator is an applicable device that injects a precise mixture of oxygen and propane into the dens of burrowing rodents, and kills them with a concussive force that collapses the rodents' tunnel system as well.

      that sounds quite amazing, and it looks like something out of ghostbusters.

  • It isn’t “just” a relabeled weed burner, it’s a relabeled weed burner... with a fancy plastic shell.

    And that makes a big difference, right? Right?
