When it comes to lighting a torch, nothing beats the classic feel and reliability of the ESAB Oxweld 790F34 Friction Lighter. For generations, welders have trusted the "snap" of an Oxweld striker to get their flame going. This isn't just a cheap accessory; it is a professional-grade tool designed for the welder who takes pride in their equipment. The 790F34 features a robust single-flint design that delivers a concentrated, high-temperature spark every time you squeeze the handle.
The design of the 790F34 centers around its deep gas cup and strong spring tension. The cup is shaped to catch the gas flow from your torch tip, mixing it with the air just enough to create an ignitable mixture right where the sparks fly. This design is particularly effective when working outdoors or in drafty shops where gas might otherwise disperse too quickly. The wire handle is formed to fit comfortably in a gloved hand, providing enough leverage to generate a strong friction stroke without hand fatigue.
Durability is a hallmark of the Oxweld brand. The file is hardened to ensure it stays sharp and continues to cut into the flint effectively over thousands of strikes. Cheap strikers often fail because the file wears down or the arm bends; the Oxweld 790F34 is built to resist these common failure points. When the flint eventually wears down, swapping it out is a matter of seconds, getting you back to work immediately. Whether you are cutting thick steel plate or brazing delicate copper, starting your torch should be the easiest part of the job. With the Oxweld 790F34, it is.
