Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Simple fire Comment: I love the fact that I can get it lit (unlike matches) even in light blustery conditions and especially find comfort in the fact that I could have this laying around for a month unused and light right up (unlike Zippos that dry out/evaporate). I even stripped it down to ultralight mode by removing the attractive outer stainless steel clip and metal lanyard (I replaced that with fishing line). I carry it inside of my coin pouch along with my mini knife. The only problem that I currently have is that the metal striker tip for the flint recently broke and have no idea how to repair it or buy a replacement striker. So I'm guessing I'll have to buy a brand new one. Any help would be appreciated. I may just purchase "the world's smallest cigarette lighter" that I saw on e-bay, made of all stainless steel and sealed with an O-ring. Customer Rating: Summary: Good backup fire starter Comment: This lighter seems to be well made. I like the reach the "match stick" part will give me with the wick material on the end. This should make lighting my propane stove at high altitude easier. The match is a little hard to light at first. I think this is due to lighter fluid on the striker. After a few seconds that evaporates and it lights every time. I did expect the container to hold more fluid than it does, but there is enough that it should still last a long time. The O ring on the "match stick" part seems to seal well and should keep the fluid in the lighter from evaporating. Customer Rating: Summary: great for the price Comment: this lights fairly easily once u get the rubber scratched off and get the hang of it the flame is fairly big about 3½in. tall for the price this is a great product Customer Rating: Summary: Very handy item Comment: I'm going to have to agree with Chris about this item. I purchased one eight months or so ago. I put lighter fluid in it and lit it a couple times then stuck it in the backpack. I have used it on two different occasions since then while camping and it worked perfectly. I just went and pulled it out of the backpack and it lit on the first try with the original lighter fluid in it. If you want something for everyday use I suppose a zippo or bic would be a better idea but if you are looking for a cheap, novel way to back up your fire starting capability I would recommend one of these. I would suggest having another flint and a magnesium fire starter in your backpack along with a couple of bic lighters. Customer Rating: Summary: the worst thing for camping I ever bought Comment: This device if purchased should be used very carefully if not IT WILL BREAK it is very delicate and I don't advise buying it if you have any upper body strength at all and thats coming from a 130 lbs weakling.
