Bernzomatic is essentially the same as the SF2 but comes with a better nozzle as standard and is cheaper.

No brainer - Superfire 2, if it broke or got nicked, I would just go buy another.

I got the bernzomatic because the only difference I could see between it and the SF2 was the price.

 

[Mike Jackson]

I had a benzomatic and it fell apart in about 3 months. I generally get about 18 months out of a SF2.

Probably because you've got bear paws instead of hands.

Seivert Metal Jet - also known as SuperFire 3 in USA and Aus.

Far better than a SF2

Uou must have got a lemon then mike. Mines 3 years old at least. Been dropped and knocked off stuff and kicked about loads. Still going strong.

Better nozzle and better control and better price
