Pros & Cons
Pros
Rechargeable is a plus, i recommend this to any survivalist looking to minimize weight in a bug out bag or on person. Recharges from any micro-usb power source in about an hour.
It is replaceable down the road when needed if you have the skill set. Seems to be sturdy and well made, im sure ill be about to pass this down to future generations no problem. Despite the debris issue i still recommend this for people who have troub... Read More
After some time and use now since that time there are couple of things that need to be updated. Out of curiosity and a need to fix the issue. Then reassembled.
This lighter is great. Initially it fit very, very tightly into my older 90's lighter case as a replacement but after recharging it multiple times it wore some and has worked itself to being looser. The zippo case is durable, well made, and cool.
Cons
The arc lighter insert suffers from a major design flaw. Don't waste your money on this zippo arc insert. The battery in the zippo arc insert is tiny, 200 mah 3.
Highlights
Quality
Perfect fit, excellent construction, clean, safe, and for those that can read easy to use.
Best lighter i’ve owned … it’s going on 4 years and used multiple times daily everyday all day
Wind proof zippo fluid lighter is no good or highly difficult to light taking way to much attention away from driving.
It’s plastic, produces a very small arc, more of a novelty item and not great for heavy use.
Price
For the price they are both simply excellent.
My base pay befores taxes was $79.
To me it's worth the value, back to my wind comment.
Shipping
Other than amazon prime lacking on the shipping.

Competitiveness
I can understand why they used microusb when they first launched the product but the fact that they are still selling a product... Read More
What i do like, is the battery is slightly better than the brand i bought before, a chinese brand, jobon.
Wish the bottom of the pack was not plastic and metal like competitor.
