I saw a documentary Re manufacturing Zippo lighters and commented about how I (a non-smoker) would like to have one. I got my first Zippo from my kids, on Father's Day! It is a GREAT American Product! Countless Americans have carried these in civilian use and off to war! Works SO much better than the crap disposable gas lighters! Plus I LIKE holding an American ICON product, in my hand. I have given these as gifts and they are always appreciated! Read more
About half my family would be offended the other half are veterans, I am a 48 year plus smoker who loves his Zippo lighters, they in display cabinets and I take them out, swap the insert from lighter I was using, then put old lighter in its place in displays and use the next one for a week or two, then get a different one, all the lighters in display cases have new inserts. Top row is Christian influence, below that are military types. The only problem I have had with new Zippos is that the flint spring/screw is always too tight and have to use screwdriver, but today actually had to use needle nose pliers on one. Before put in displays, I remove the flint instead of buying them until I have to. God Bless the USA Read more
