The torch I mentioned was sold by Sansaire (RIP), rebadged and painted white, specifically as a searing torch.  That's how I bought it but someone here pointed out it was just the rebadged heat shrink torch.  I have used the small culinary torches and they can't hold a candle to the BZ4500HS (forgive the almost pun).  You can make it into a "hose torch" simply by adding a hose, like this one: https://amzn.to/3prrBeM but I have never found the need, and I like being able to set the tank aside without having to figure out where to rest the hot torch head.  I have used it sear all kinds of things from roasts to steaks to burgers to veggies to crème brûlée.  ETA Bernzomatic lists "cooking" as one of its primary purposes: https://www.bernzomatic.com/Products/Hand-Torches/Instant-On-Off/BZ4500HS and I see they have renamed it the "Wide Surface Torch".
