17 months in use

Have it now are in daily use and until 12/2012 on occasional flint exchange and of course refill petrol it is almost maintenance-free, even the wick must be adjusted only 1 time in the year. (He is therefore long enough for a few years).

An absolute anachronism these days because you used it for years without ever again have to buy a new one.

Absolutely no comparison with the conventional gas lighters originating already in a soft breeze.

The chrome has suffered over the years something light scratches but no abrasion - I use it as a "tool" for daily use.

The cover starts after a short time to wiggle a little but this is due to design and does not get worse.

Another tip - if the flints wearing too quickly, it's because you are too much pressure when lighting. It is very zündfreudig So, less is more.
