 Good backup fire starter May 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 great for the price April 29, 2008
this lights fairly easily once u get the rubber scratched off and get the hang of it
the flame is fairly big about 3in. tall
for the price this is a great product
Very handy item March 27, 2008
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.
 the worst thing for camping I ever bought March 23, 2008
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.

It works as described and the price for the item is fair. It's a shame the shipping was so expensive.
