Nope, not a heck of a lot of difference aside from the kitchen ones being
smaller and cleaner.

They are selling what are sold as "micro-torches" for industrial use as 
kitchen torches.  They don't crank out as many BTUs as their bigger cousins.

You get just as much mileage from your stock mechanics propane torch.
You'll burn less food with it too since you don't need to hold it in one place
as long to get it to do its job.
