HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., October 30 - BernzOmatic®, a leading global manufacturer of hand-held torches and accessories, today introduces a faster, easier way to braze, solder, and heat copper pipe and sheet metal. The new BernzOmatic TS8000 Trigger Start High Intensity Torch is the latest innovation from the experts in fire and heat technology.

"If you ask users of torches what they need in a tool, they'll tell you they need an easy-to-use, reliable tool that does the job right every time, no matter what the conditions," said Nick Morrisroe, VP, marketing, BernzOmatic. "But what they won't tell you is that they also want something that will get the job done quickly so they can move on to the next thing. With this latest torch, our end user gets reliability, performance, and ease-of-use, all in a tool that will get the job done in a fraction of the time it would take to complete with a standard propane torch."

The TS8000 can handle all types of jobs, from home improvement projects to heavy duty plumbing. Typical uses include soldering copper pipe, brazing copper pipe or sheet metal, loosening rusted bolts, and thawing frozen pipes. It is available for purchase at home improvement and hardware stores nationwide.
