This is an excellent tool for getting rid of weeds in sidewalks, gravel paths and driveways, and along curbs and foundations. Better than chemicals, the Weed Torch uses heat to kill weeds. Simply attach a standard propane cylinder (not included, but easily available at most hardware stores) to the handle and sweep the burner head a few inches above weeds. Push button switch provides automatic ignition without matches. The Weed Torch also works great during the winter to melt ice on concrete or gravel walkways.
