Review on Vintage Copper Wheel Kerosene Lighter - Windproof Brass Trench Lighter for Collection, Decor, Gift by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 1 out of 5

and it's a really great piece of engineering - the spark mechanism is really solid

I bought an IMCO reproduction here and it's not the quality they are known for - unfortunately it broke after a month . I've waited to review this lighter until I can honestly assess its quality and durability and it really is great engineering - the spark mechanism is really reliable and it ignites on the first hit every time! I really like it and might buy another one if this one ever wears out. Edit I bought 2 of these and after a few months the spring powering them breaks rendering them unusable. I will update this if the seller gets it right. Well the seller contacted me and sent me a new one for free a few months after my purchase! First class customer service from czbus, I would not hesitate to buy anything else they sell! My first lighter probably had a broken spring, but you couldn't ask for better service. I'm checking my rating. The 9/19 spring in the spare lighter also failed so it's safe to say they will all fail one day. It's really really bad, it's a really good lighter, you just can't count on it to last.

Pros
  • Lighters
Cons
  • Big and bulky
