Zippo Armor Tumbled Brass Pocket Lighter

Excellent light, thanks Read more

solid build, gorgeously rustic ✅ Read more

Very attractive tactile feeling, non-slip, due to the tumbled surface. Also it will wear long and slow in the pocket, being polished by the pocket lint, and gain the look of lovingly used look--if I choose to carry it in my pocket--which I never will. This stays in my collection, along with a regular, high-gloss solid brass, and Spread Eagle Bas-Relief solid brass, along with others. There is something about solid brass that gives Zippo a special pull! The insert, however, is brass(?)-plated steel, reacting to a magnet. All my brass Zippos have steel inserts. Some guys say Solid Brass Zippos come with brass inserts, but they seem to have assumed that, since it appears brass colored, it is made of brass. The hinge is solid, and did not show noticeable wobble. The tumbled surface is evenly and lightly scratched, and grips well with a bare hand. The wick stood up proudly, and the wheel is pinned tight. I am just debating, whether I should fill it and light it, or just kill the urge and keep it pristine. Read more

I've tried buying a couple of Zippos in the past off of Amazon and thankfully their return process is very easy and worry free. I went with the tumbled brass armored. It was beautiful right out of the box and it did look brand new. The insert was the perfect size for a snug fit no wobble or anything which I've had issues with in the past and has been a reason for my returns. I think I'll be keeping this one. Good looking lighter great quality feel. I'm happy with my purchase. Read more

Go for the armor zippos. The metal is thicker. Excellent USA MADE LIGHTER. Read more

I ordered this lighter for a camping trip with some guys. I knew we would be sitting around the fire each day, so I thought this would make an elegant accessory to my camping gear. It has a good weight, textures surface, quality feel, and satisfying click. The only downfall is that I put the lighter fluid in a few weeks before the trip and it didn't work too well. I assumed it had a little tank you fill with the fluid, but you just moisten a cotton-like material. Another guy on the trip, who uses one regularly said you have to refill them every week. I will probably give it to someone else and use my new torch-like lighter for the campfires. Read more

I've had a few drops and I KNOW there has been less damage to the case than the classic would have shown. Not recommended for "Zippo tricks" as the hinge isn't any beefier than the classic and the heavier lid will put more strain on the hinge. Feels better in the hand than the classic and the "ping" of snapping it open and closed is more pronounced as well. As far as "leaking" - it's a Zippo, it's meant to be used, daily, not sitting in a drawer or bug out bag. Get a butane lighter, or better yet a Bic, if you don't intend on using it. Yeah, you have to fill a Zippo every two or three days, you have to trim the wick, you have to replace the flint; and when you need it to light, it just DOES, the first time, every time. Read more
