Need a LONG lighter? This is the longest

It worked well for a year so I gave it 5 stars. Especially since it's the only lighter that can reach my unusually deep pilot burner zone. Even if it's almost at the bottom. The igniter in the tip of the lighter broke into what looks like a spring so now it doesn't work unless I light it with another lighter.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

giant lighter. Do I have to say more. :D

I needed a giant flexible LONG lighter to light my old fur lighter. The Walmart ones weren't long enough and didn't bend the way I wanted. This one is perfect. When I received the item I was so impressed. Talk about a giant lighter! Lol it's very big! The flame is also quite large. My husband loves lighting things with it. However, you have to buy fuel for it. I had a jar that I use for my zippers so I didn't have to buy it. Not sure how long the fuel will last as I haven't had it in a very…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Null

How coordinated are you?

It does exactly what it's supposed to do. But you need about three hands to guide it. There is a lock button to press and a button to start the gas and a button to start the igniter. It's hard to do everything at once while trying to do something with your other hand. In general I like it. The flame is beautiful. The fact that it's reusable is great. Very flexible. I use mine to light pilot lights and the ability to be critical. If not for the tdst coordination to the light. I would give him…

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Some bugs

The battery compartment is annoying. I couldn't get it to work directly.

This thing is huge, much bigger than I expected. The battery compartment is annoying. I couldn't get it to work right away, so I figured the included battery might be dead. I couldn't put a standard battery in there because the battery that came with it is a bit smaller than a standard battery. I ended up getting the original battery to work after realizing I wasn't smart enough to use the childproof controls properly the first time. It works well, but it's ridiculously large, and when the…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Works great for my purpose, I recommend it if you can stand the price.

I have been looking for a long fireplace lighter for a long time and this fits my needs perfectly. I have a gas fireplace that I burn with wood, using the gas only to light the wood and then turning off the gas. The lighters I use are too short and sometimes the gas ignites quickly. It's long enough, I'm far from every little explosion that happens. I love the long flame it gives much better than the cheaper plastic lighters I've had. I find the price quite high, but if I can use it for a long…

Pros
  • High quality finish
Cons
  • Updates

Decayed on the second day.

The metal cone has completely detached from the plastic housing and ripped out a thin electrical cable. In this state it does not work. Note that once you've filled it with butane, it becomes more difficult for you to legally get your money back. Instead, I decided to apply my crafting skills and see if I could fix it. I managed to rewire everything without blowing myself up and everything worked fine, but the electrical cord was hanging by a thread. A day later the wire came loose again and I…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

It is great. The flame is huge

Okay. The thing is loud. It's a damn gun. That's about my only gripe - it's a bit awkward. On the plus side, that means extra range and room for fuel. I've tried a few of these long neck lighters. Last I tried the Zippo Flex Neck Utility which was previously a POS. I come back to them for the second time and they charge you for the return even if it is defective. Ridiculous! But enough about them. This one is great. The flame is huge. I bought this to enhance my smoking/grill lighting…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • So so

This appears to be the best lighter of its type

I used a cheap long tip disposable butane lighter for my wood stove and was looking for a more durable version of the same product that was reusable. After scouring the entire internet and other similar Revain products, I decided to give the Camco Gas match a try. Now that I've used it I think I'll be very happy with it. It's longer than I'd like (only 26 inches) but it's very durable and can be refueled. Camco uses an AA battery to create a spark that ignites the butane. Others have complained

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Fine

Nice unit though. good for RV parts and accessories

Our propane salesman recommended a Camco Olympian GM-3X Adjustable Flame Gas Match to light our new fire pit. It works great if you can load it with butane. But the instructions on the packaging leave a lot to be desired. He recommends Ronson Butane, but other brands will do as well. I live in a remote area where I couldn't find Ronson but found other brands. Unfortunately, there were butane canisters with two different nozzles. When I looked at the GAs Match, the guy at the hardware store and…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not the best
