A plasma torch is a Starfleet cutting tool which uses a plasma stream to cut through objects. (VOY episode: "Equinox"; ENT episode: "The Forgotten") Hikaru Sulu accidentally pressed an activated plasma torch against the Enterprise warp core his first week aboard that vessel, nearly destroying the ship. Afterwards, he learned some "exotic Scottish expressions" from Chief Engineer Scott. (TOS short story: "Chaotic Response")

(VOY episode: "Equinox"; ENT episode: "The Forgotten") Hikaru Sulu accidentally pressed an activated plasma torch against the Enterprise warp core his first week aboard that vessel, nearly destroying the ship.

- A plasma torch is mining equipment in Alien: Out of the Shadows that was used to melt pathways through rock, its an extremely dangerous tool that is capable of melting solid rock.
- A plasma torch is a tool used for repairs. It focuses a high intensity beam of energy. They are used to cut through metal plating or wires so they can be replaced. they are also used in salvaging wrecked pieces of equipment or vehicles, as a plasma torch can precisley cut off important pieces, while a Mobile Repair Vehicle cuts off less important pieces, such as hull plating, to be melted down.
- Plasma torches were tools used to cut through solid objects with a flow of plasma, they could be used as weapons. They are known to have been used in the Peragus Mining Facility; when Meetra Surik was trapped inside the facility's medical bay, she used a plasma torch to cut the way out through a closed door. Plasma torches were also used by Tien Tubb on Nar Shaddaa.
- Plasma torches are terran construction devices. They are capable of cutting through metal.
- Later that year, Commander Tucker used a plasma torch to light a makeshift candle he made in Shuttlepod 1. (ENT: "Shuttlepod One") After a spike from a Romulan mine pinned Lieutenant Reed to the hull of Enterprise NX-01 in 2152, Captain Jonathan Archer carried a plasma torch with him onto the hull and was about to use it to cut through the spike when Reed stopped him, having detected detonation circuits inside the spikes. After the section of the hull they were on was deliberately detached from the rest of the ship, Archer successfully used the plasma torch to cut through the spike, releasing Reed but simultaneously arming the mine, although they managed to contain the detonation.

- Later that year, Commander Tucker used a plasma torch to light a makeshift candle he made in Shuttlepod 1.

After the section of the hull they were on was deliberately detached from the rest of the ship, Archer successfully used the plasma torch to cut through the spike, releasing Reed but simultaneously arming the mine, although they managed to contain the detonation. (ENT: "Minefield") During a simulation in 2153, Degra used a plasma torch to seal a coolant leak aboard a simulated Malosian cargo shuttle. (ENT: "Stratagem") When Enterprise discovered a Xindi-Insectoid shuttlecraft in January 2154, Commander Tucker said he had "half a mind to take a plasma torch" to it. (ENT: "Hatchery") Reed also used a plasma torch to reach a jammed access port on Enterprise's outer hull in February 2154. (ENT: "The Forgotten") In 2154, a plasma torch was used by a welder who made some structural modifications to a shuttlepod, Pod 1, for a journey to Vulcan. (ENT: "Awakening") In an alternate timeline in 2165, Trip ordered Reed to use a plasma torch to "slice Yerdrin Lek's ship into neat little pieces" as a means of coercing the truth out of him. (ENT: "Twilight") In 2369, Commander Riker had to have treatment for a facial injury sustained during rehearsal for a play, Frame of Mind. It was postponed after another crewmember entered sickbay following the explosion of a plasma torch in his face. (TNG: "Frame of Mind" ) In 2375, the USS Voyager received a distress call from the lost USS Equinox. On a search and rescue mission aboard the Equinox, Ensign Harry Kim had to use a plasma torch to remove debris from a pinned down Noah Lessing. (VOY: "Equinox")
