Can this trigger be 'locked on' so I can walk away while filling a portable air tank?

It doesn't have a trigger lock that allows the air to flow unless it's pulled open by the operator.

No, But it leaves you with one hand free. Instead of holding inflater on valve stem and pulling trigger.

No, it can't. In the vast majority of uses, that would be a strong safety hazard.

It can be locked "on" for that purpose, but it "unlocks" itself after about a day. I did not time it exactly, but it definitely kicks out. The directions do not mention that.

The short answer is no. The trigger is on/off only. Speed is adjusted with the speed control lever.

No. It is activated by a small metal area under the trigger guard when your middle finger comes in contact with it. You can also turn it off with a small switch just in front of the metal area.

You must hold the switch to activate. Once pressure is released it deactivates.

Yes you can. There are 2 things that happen when you pull the trigger, the piezo lighter snaps as a plunger allows the gas to flow. The gas only flows if both the trigger is pressed and the valve opened. Bernzomatic will not repair these and does not sell replacement parts. I've fixed mine once in 5 years, mostly crud around the igniter and spring. You have to be careful on reassembly to get the wires to contact correctly so the spark ignites in the small brass tube for that purpose. Easy to take apart, IIRC loosen the yellow button's allen screw, there is a spring and the 2 piece pieze igniter that has the wire that goes into the brass tube, IIRC the lock button is also held with the same allen screw. Keith how do you "blow up" torches a few times? Seriously?

You can set them to blow in different increments, if I remember correctly, 1 min to non stop till the user disarms, but if its going off only the display would let you know a different sensor was triggered......

It does not have a trigger lock. It does have a flaw in the fuel system causing the unit to fail within the first 6 months of use.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

Unfortunately, no. The cord has to be folded in half and when depresses the trigger button behind the hook, activates the spring. Recoil will have a new version of the winder coming this summer that allows you to pull out as much cord as you need and "lock" it off. That may be of use in your situation.

Yes. Best to disconnect from power to prevent hitting on/off button.expect/prepare for slight leakage where tank meets pump assembly.

Yes, you can leave a window open, and even close it after arming it. It will only trigger when the sensors are separated....not when the are put together.

No. You must hold the trigger, it is a safety feature by not having a power-on switch.

I believe not. Ironic I don't know as I use it daily. It does not spin unreasonably long when you release the trigger. I did not feel it an important feature when I purchased it as I never block the guard

Nope, just press harder than what you are doing now and leave the switch. You dont have to keep it holding
