DIYer Turns Himself into a Real-Life Human Torch
Michael Hines — July 10, 2010 — Unique
If the idea of owning your own wrist-worn flamethrower excites you, then you will love this video. YouTube DIYer Shock Slayer has created his very own flamethrower straight out of a comic book or cartoon.
The wrist-worn flamethrower is cheaply constructed yet works flawlessly. My only knock on it is that it doesn't have a self-igniter. It has to be lit with a torch, but other than that, everything is on point.
It seems in this day and age there is no limit to what a little knowledge and imagination can create. You've gotta check out the video of the wrist-worn flamethrower above. Flame on!
