Review on πŸ”₯ Waterproof Lighter Case with Survival Emergency Whistle Lanyard - Ideal for Zippo Classic Lighter Inserts - SUPRUS by Vicki Lane

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The latch broke 11 days after delivery, the hinge broke after 70 days of inactivity on my desk.

Delivered Dec 4th, found on table Dec 15th. I put in a liquid flint insert and tested how long the device remains usable, 10 days. The device was found on my desk in the morning, open and dry. The spring clip broke and since the safety clip was not installed it opened and the liquid evaporated. Wouldn't recommend as this type of lighter is intended for use on a hike or in a survival situation with an emergency whistle and cord. Too brittle and cumbersome as it gives a false sense of readiness. The device was filled and then stored in the first aid kit for a week and last night it was taken out and used twice to ensure it caught fire. The device was then placed on my desk and left alone overnight. The next morning it broke and opened up. Maybe 10 full clicks of the ignition wheel in 7 days of refuelling. The liquid was tested for its shelf life, so the lid should remain closed as long as possible. Yes, minimal use, not worn once, just unpacked, installed lighter cartridge, filled with liquid and stored in a cupboard for a week. my table. I may have opened it several times to see if there was any liquid left (there was), today's check revealed that the loop had simply broken into several pieces. This item has only been on my desk for a little over two months and is not useless. It's an unacceptable piece of gear, unreliable, not durable for what's needed for surviving in the backwoods and camping that some of us travel when we have that luxury. Zero trust, zero stars, zero recommendations, this is actually a dangerous item to keep in their kit and should be avoided by anyone who needs a fire starting tool for important purposes. Very disappointed.
