Burn That Pesky Weed!

There's a certain risk that this title might raise some eyebrows but we're strictly legit here and not talking about any
hallucinogen substances. No, the device you're about to see doesn't have anything to do with drugs, but with those pesky wild plants that all people who are into gardening simply hate. And since they hate them so much, now gardeners can really do some damage, since the Weed Burner actually lets them burn the weeds down.

The device is a very lightweight propane-fired burner made out of durable, nickel-plated steel and brass, and it's used together with a 400 grams propane tank. It has a length of around 81 centimeters (so you can operate it from a relatively safe distance), and also features an adjustable regulator valve that lets the user control flame intensity.

The Weed Burner could prove to be quite useful in a large number of situations, as for example for clearing weeds and their roots in driveways or walkways in summer, or even melting dangerous ice patches in winter. However, it poses some really serious risks (it's working with fire, after all), so every person who decides to spend around 35 US dollars in order to "enlist" its services must be extremely careful.
