CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 5 reviews)
| waste of money by Robert Mcelroy (Albuquerque, NM) 1 Stars August 06, 2009 I have had one of these lighters for about 6 months. Only used it 3 or 4 times. The lighter works great, but the plastic case is total garbage. The hinged lid on mine completely fell apart. Typical plastic junk. My lighter has never been dropped, or mistreated. It still works, but the lid, hinge, and latch fell apart. It does beat a bic lighter, but for 50 dollars, you'd expect something better than China/Walmart trash.
| | works well by Rachel_Mommy (Earth) 5 Stars August 06, 2009 we have these in each vehicle and our packs when we go winter snow shoeing and cross country skiing. Holds a lot of fluid and the light is hot and strong. Seems dourable but we have not dropped them or subjected them to abuse as they are in our "emergency" containers.
| | Good To GO by Thor (AK) 4 Stars March 05, 2009 I am pleased with this lighter, I fill it every other week and never fear running out of fuel. It seems tough and I recoomend it.

| | Reliable and powerful - if you use the right fuel by Michael Szczepanski 5 Stars December 27, 2008 Les "Survivorman" Stroud recommended a "blowtorch-style" lighter for survival, and this is it. It holds a lot of fuel and lights easily every time, even with gloves on. The flame is hard to see in the day as it is a torch style blue flame which leaves me no doubt it will light any tinder I can find. The piezo sparker should last through any survival situation you may encounter.
Don't be cheap with the fuel - I first tried regular butane from my local home improvement store and could get a flame at most one out of ten tries. I live at 7000 feet and plan to use this lighter for my hiking trips which take me to the 10,000-13,000 foot range. I then got the triple refined butane they recommend for high altitude (I went with Lucienne brand, from a tobacco store) and it lights perfectly every time.
| | dead on arrival by B. Farris (point reyes station california) 1 Stars December 17, 2008 have had one regular windmill from them last over four yrs. this model is bunk.the fuel valve failed.they used to have another model that looked like a flying saucer that had the same probs. i used the best fuel from the local cigar shop. i have been using refillable butane lighters since the 80s. i think windmill is losing quality control or something?? the standard model they have works fine. first thing that happened to it was the wire element fell out,then the latch broke.still works tho. if i get another one it will be the standard model.
