Review: This has been a good, reliable lighter for me. - I have seen a lot of poor reviews for this lighter. My unit worked well our of the box and it has continued to work well for 3 years. I have owned or been gifted a lot of lighters and some very pricey ones (eg Colibri) have not held up well at all. Very few of my many refillable lighters last more than a year or two. For a while I resorted to cheap disposable non-refillable ones. However, this one has been good. I suspect the problem might be initial quality control, as the complaints have been for a new unit, and not that they failed after using a while. This has been a good purchase for me.
Review: Broken after a few months of gentle use! - The lighter seemed to work well enough for a few months. It uses a lot of fuel, but a lot of these types of lighters are pretty bad with fuel. The dial that adjusts the flame broke, and it is now essentially useless! I am not sure how this even happened; I don't recall ever dropping it. This supposedly "rugged" lighter has only been used very gently and I don't recall any significant impacts/etc. that could have caused any damage (the physical condition sill looks good other than the dial!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Lighter
*by K***S on October 16, 2014*

Great windproof lighter, emphasis on windproof...you really have to try to get it to go out (the heat element works exceptionally well, even when compared to other lighters with similar features). I purchased this one as a backup (my primary is a simple single/soft flame Thunderbird insert for my Zippo) lighter for high-altitude backpacking and I believe it will serve me well in that capacity (just keep in mind that it does have a jet flame, which, despite burning hotter, does consume fuel at a greater rate than the average soft-flame). It is easy to change the height of the flame, though I found that my example required a fairly high volume to ignite reliably (and I haven't tried it at particularly high altitudes as of this draft). I only wish it were a little more compact, though it is reasonably lightweight and has a fairly large fuel reserve, so it isn't worth deducting a point for this minor drawback. It replaced my old Eddie Bauer windproof lighter that recently died. Hopefully this one lasts as long (though it has an excellent warranty, if it happens to fail early).
