The Sievert Power 2535 blowtorch is designed to increase comfort through design attention on ergonomics. The long handle is manufactured from molded composite plastic. The trigger on/off function features a lock for hands-free operation. Flame adjustment is achieved via an easy to see and reach valve on the back of the handle.
Different burners allow the blowtorch to be used for tasks ranging from brazing to precision work to shrinking heat-shrink tubing.
The Powerjet 2535 works with a number of fuels such as propane, butane, propane/butane mix and others. A Piezo ignition is built-in and Sievert states it will provide up to 30,000 ignitions.
Burner options include a pin-point burner for precision work, a burner for soft soldering and other smaller hot work, a 0.55″ cyclone burner with rotating flame for hot work and hard soldering. Sievert states its soft flame burner is suitable for shrinking work with cables and the hot air burner is suitable for paint stripping.

Looks interesting, but ...
Is this article but a re-hash of a press release, or has anyone compared it to a quality torch? Is it really more convenient to use?
Now, my $70 torch lacks a 'lock on' feature, but I have not suffered for the lack. Nor have I felt any lack for want of multiple heads. Do these features really matter?
My torch uses MAPP gas only; can this torch use MAPP gas? Will it operate in any position, even inverted? How does this torch compare, in terms of BTU's and maximum temperature?
Ironically, about the only paint I want to use heat to strip is ... yup!... older leaded paints. Oops.
Hello, renosteinke. First thanks for reading and commenting. This is a news item. "Re-hash" depends on how you define re-hash, I guess. It's not a cut and paste job and all of the typical superlatives are left in the press release. It's not a review, test or endorsement; it's just a news item.
Yes, it can be used with MAPP gas, and Sievert claims the blowtorch can be used upside down without heating power being affected.
I will try to get you some performance numbers, but--as you well know--they vary depending on the fuel and nozzle used.
