The mechanism may have more consumables than a typical lighter, but that’s the price paid to be truly unique. It’s a lighter that’s sure to be a conversation piece, though we wonder how welcome it’s cracking report will be at a quiet, reserved cigar bar. The flame can then be extinguished by blowing it out. However, ignition is via a spring-loaded aluminium hammer, which fires off a paper cap, igniting the wick. The fluid tank is stuffed with cotton wool and filled with lighter fluid, which feeds a wick, which by itself, is fairly ordinary. The lighter works by an unusual mechanism. The body is crafted out of brass and copper, soldered together by blowtorch. There’s plenty to love here for those who love making chips.
But if you’re a machinist, you could consider whipping yourself up something special, like this build by.
Some of us may go so far as to have a nice Zippo, or perhaps a windproof lighter for better outdoor performance. For most of us, a lighter is a cheap $2 plastic tool that serves a purpose, and little more.
