Windproof Lighter - Black Crackle - Refillable for Lifetime Use - Adjustable Flame - Gift Box - Metal Construction - Made in USA

This lighter is excellent, I would give it 5 stars because of this- Pros: it's like every other zippo, great quality, durable and always reliable. For me, it's very windproof like the brand says so it's good for lighting anything outdoors and indeed in. It's an extremely durable lighter and this model does not show scratches easily thus making it always pretty to pull out and show someone. It's very concealable and would fit into your pocket easily and not very visible unless wearing skinny jeans. The picture may show the lighter to have a rough design but it's actually very smooth and feels great in the hand. The black crackle finish makes this really stand out and be different to any other zippo lighter and looks like a very special piece. I Brough two of them and one is a brass casing and one is silver, you can only tell from the bottom of the lighter where the information is on the casing. Although both have the same silver inserts. These look great with this lighter and are very hard wearing. Cons: Unfortunately with zippos, the lighter fluid only lasts 2-3 weeks. This depends on use but the lighter fluid evaporates quickly. This is not a fault with this model though, all zippos do it. Just something to be aware of when purchasing a zippo. The chimney of the insert on thr zippo can get scratched due to the top cap of the casing scratching against it when opened and closed.I have used mine a lot and I do not have much scratching going on but it's just something to remember. I have a few zippos now and theye all do its. It's just something to be aware of when buying a zippo. This can be prevented by regular use rather than popping the lid up and down and making sure the inserts pushed down the furthest it will go. This lighter comes with a flint and wick installed, these will last a few months depending on use. Make sure you buy some lighter fluid though. Normal lighter fluid makes the zippo smell a bit so I bough regular fluid and have had no problem. It does not eliminate the smell but it just makes it smell less and give you a better flame and less evaporation. If you are new to zippos then this one is a great starter and looks perfect.

Very nice lighter! I have always liked zippos, but one thing I hate is that after a short time being lit, the metal casing get very hot, and often too hot to touch for a while. Thankfully, this case fixes this due to the "plasticy" coating it has. It feels nice and grippy in your hand and is just a good lighter. Pro's; -It feels nice in your hand, and provides good grip even when wet. -The lighter does not get extremely hot after being lit for a long time. This means no more waiting 2 minutes for it to cool down again! -It is just a great lighter, and for the price it is stupidly cheap! Bang for your buck! Con's; Of course, with all zippos lighters, the fuel does run out quickly because it vaporizes. but as you can get fuel for super cheap, this is really no issue and should not effect your decision when buying this item. Note: This review is personal, the product was bought at full retail price by myself, and there has been no external imput by any 3rd party companies/organisations! I hope this helped!

This Zippo is one of the best Zippo's I have ever purchased. The Ceramic, Stove Baked, black finish gives one the ability to find it in a pocket which is full of Gubbins. (i.e. Digital Combats.) , which ever country You find Yourself in. I would suggest that the finishing is similar to that used in the Automotive Industry which is under the front to protect components from heafty knocks and boulder crunch !! This will be in the pocket of an Infantry Soldier, So time will tell about the Durably of the Heavy Duty Finish. Unfortunatly I suspect that the dreaded, "Zippo-Hinge" syndrome, will be the first problem to raise it's ugly head, but even the action of this lighter feels so much different We may just get more operations per fill over-time. I have designed a completly different hinge to replace the origional, but trying to get hold of R & D at Zippo is like trying to get a letter from the Holy Ghost !!! To finish, 100% for the Lighter at present.

Love hippos have several The black coating is strong and extremely durable After a year of use the coating shows no chips or scratches

Good quality product for good value of money

Zippo Black Crackle Lighter. This is my first Zippo. Slightly let down by the quality. Had my friend take a look and he confirmed it was 'normal' for Zippos Maybe what I hear about 'Made in U.S.A' is correct. The Black Crackle is great. The hinge is slightly loose (The lid has a little play to the left/right) The 'Eyelet' Metal part where the flame is protected from wind has lots of little scratches. The inside case (Silver coloured) This has a seam where the metal is formed just under the flint wheel. There is a 1mm gap between the metal edges which is filled with some cheap yellowed plastic or resin. The best way to describe it is similar to the panel gap on poorly repaired cars after a crash.

Love this, lighter!!! Exactly what anyone, needs for wild camping and outdoors, but I advice anyone thinking of purchasing one needs to understand unlike cheap gas, lighters, this would need to be topped up 24 hours before you head for the woods, lasts me 2 weeks before a refill, shame I can only give it a, 5 star rating!! As, it's a10 out of 10 for me

If you're not familiar with the black crackle version, the nearest thing to compare it to would be the metal side panel of a black PC tower unit - similar textured finish. I opted for this finish to stop the problem with finger marks or grease marks or i would be forever wiping the thing in an OCD fashion so the textured finish is perfect for me. The rest of it is the usual Zippo quality so no surprises there. It feels great in your hand - nice weight to it and best of all the reassuring 'kerchunk' when it closes. Some things you can't improve on Zippo is one of them. Love it TC

This is Zippo! Enough said!

Muy buen producto Calidad indiscutible Me encantó Precio muy accesible Llegó muy rápido Felicidades al vendedor

Es ist ein Zippo und es funktioniert natürlich out of box! Es ist ein tolles und stabiles Zippo wie man es sich wünscht. Das Gehäuse ist aus Messing und mit diesem relativ widerstansfähigen Kräusel-Lack überzogen. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Beschichtung ist der sehr guter Halt in der Hand beim Öffnen und Zündeln. Daher gute Haptik und zugleich eine Empfehlung.

Poco que decir de un encendedor Zippo. Es el original y muy bonito.
