Pocket lighters

[Benner]

Just added a new lighter to my collection.  I have wanted one of these for a long time but they can be quite pricey so have never managed to pick one up.  This one went comparatively cheap as the flint wheel was stuck, but with a bit of patience and a hand drill I managed to remove the corroded flint that was causing all the hassel.  Now it works perfectly and I am more than a happy bunny! 

Here are some pics (with awful lighting!  ).  It would clean up more but as it will be a user there seemed little point.

Got it free'd up then

Got it free'd up then

Yep.    However, I was just doing a quick google to see how old it could be and it turns out there is a flint holder actually inside the filler cap.  Just cracked it open and there is another bloody corroded flint in there. 

Best fetch the drill again.

Defo worth the money then

Defo worth the money then

I'd say so.

Got lucky with that flint as it just crumbled out.    So back on track again.

I have smoked for nearly 9 years now so that's why I am already uber cool. 

To all you youngans out there, smoking is for chumps, don't do it!

That's a really nice little lighter there mate.  Do you mind me asking how much you spent on it?  I understand if you'd rather not say

I really like the engraved section on the side; adds character to the piece.

I will always like smoking even though I try very hard not to do it 

Getting a nice new lighter like that one would definitely make me want to celebrate with a smoke

I found this neat lighter yesterday and can't seem to find any information on it. It's a well built little thing but has no markings on it. Have you guys seen anything like it. I like how there is a screw driver built into it to change out the flint.

Ooh that is quite nice.  Looks very solid.

I'm no help to you though.

I can't tell you anything about the pictured lighter, it does look very cool mate, thanks for sharing.  Thats a great idea including a small driver for flint replacement; its an excellent idea.

Benner might be able to tell you more

[Benner]

I like the look of that. 

Sadly I don't know anything about it though.

There's no obvious marks on it anywhere?

It looks like machined aluminium but beyond that, it's similar to a few I've seen on ebay. Nice looking hunk of metal anyway!
