Zippo lighters: solid classics

A Zippo always works

The function of the wick that hangs in a reservoir of fuel is characteristic for this lighter. By rotating the wheel alongside a flint the sparks will hit the wick. As such it will light up. A wind catcher is fitted around the wick. As such the Zippo has been wind-resistant for dozens of years, even before storm lighters emerged. The simple technique of a Zippo is namely a lot easier to 'troubleshoot' in the field than the modern lighter.
