Great price but doesn't last long.

Price is good IF you bought a dozen. I bought this and threw away the flints after a month because they don't last long. It's only used for hobbies, but it doesn't look like the old ones.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some little things

Not like the old striker.

I remember this style of striker years ago. It asserted itself in a booming tool and mold making industry. BUT, this one was made in CHINA. It wouldn't even take a day. Very disappointed that a great company like Lincoln Electric sold a Chinese clone.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Works, but flint has a short lifespan.

This striker works great. But flint has a very, very short lifespan. I've used many strikers in my life but this has to be the shortest life I've ever used. 10 hits and half a flint is gone. Of course you have three flints, but they are too soft.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Nothing

Great bug from Firestarter.

I took a small piece of cotton and soaked it in vodka, Instant Fire for campfires. Then I dabbed the piece of cotton with Instant Fire alcohol. I put a small piece of cotton in the cradle. Great tool, I bought three of these. Very, very, good, definitely five stars.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Alright

Torch Lighter: Welding Gear and Accessories

I bought this for a flint wheel to use on a lighter that is over 50 years old. The flint wheel remained the same as it was in the old days. My old striker has been used since I was a child and still works like new, much better than the new model. I put a flint disc in my old block and threw away the flimsy new one.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than others

GREAT do-it-all lighter

I'm so tired of my old lighters sometimes not sparking. Bend them for better contact with the flint and you're good to go. The next time they were used they fell off and stopped working. The way these Lincolns are made doesn't bend the arrows and stay in strong flint contact with the striker. Buy them and you won't be disappointed and never go back to the old style.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • I have no real complaints about it, everything is fine

Best I've ever used Welding equipment and supplies

Compared to everyone else this is by far the best ever. Compared to other options, even inferior items will cost you about the same. It comes with 2 spare flints and has a very solid construction. It delivers a quick and intense spark, making it fairly easy to ignite in one attempt. This is a simple product so not much to say about it. If you need and use such a product, you will be satisfied with it. The only issue I can find is that it goes through the flints faster than I've ever seen, which

Pros
  • Welding and soldering
Cons
  • Was damaged

I prefer this design over the spiral wire handle.

I bought these as a gift for 2 friends who saw my vintage head (nicknamed Old Sparky) in this design. The old one works very smoothly, never jams or catches the flint on the rasp. A quick test on them seems a little less solid and well made, but it beats the ubiquitous round strikers that bind and require very precise pressure to move smoothly. Movement can improve if they are worn. The arc of the handle controls the pressure of the flint well and you get plenty of sparks. Time will tell if…

Pros
  • Welding Equipment and Supplies
Cons
  • I will add later

Get what you pay for

The only thing I like about it is the price. Sometimes you have to stroke 6, 7, 10 times. Maybe a copy of this thing won't sit well or work in my hand. Uncomfortable. Also, the flint seems to wear out fairly quickly, I've only had it a month and well over halfway through the first flint. Not a pro so I don't use it all the time. I typically expect a triple flint to last at least a year. However, I think all missed hits deplete flints. But it does its job. After all, and I think the saying goes,

Pros
  • Welders
Cons
  • Only available in white
