It also has a ring to allow it to stand up which in combination with the lock-on makes it valuable in an emergency firestarting situation. The flame is hot enough and controllable so it can be used for light soldering. The original is almost impossible to find now so I consider myself lucky. Also has a nice "cool" factor.

There's a good history at:

I too have the original Blazer, somewhere, but if I recall correctly, the original originals weren't wind-resistant. Is this correct?

There are two versions: the For Home Use version, and the Not For Home Use version of the PB207: HERE
I think they are identical except that the For Home Use version has a "childproof" lock. And at least these new ones are wind-resistant.
