Overall Feedback:

70% appreciated its rugged durability
I have been carrying this lighter for about 3 years and have used it for various activities like hunting, fishing, hiking, accidentally swimming, camping, and on the job many times. I am very impressed with the durability of this lighter, considering it was not the most expensive one.
70% found it easy to use in the dark
Using the Soto refill adapter makes it easy to ensure that my lighter is always full at the start of any trip.
The flame extender is brilliant and can be used in both household and survival situations.
68% praised for its reliable ignition, though 32% experienced issues in windy conditions
I have been carrying this lighter for about 3 years and have been very impressed with its performance. It has been used in various situations like camping, hiking, and on the job, and has never failed me. The only maintenance required is cleaning lint out of it a couple of times and refilling with butane. I am very impressed with the lighter, considering it was not the most expensive one.
I often have trouble lighting the fuel even when I allow it to flow before clicking the igniter. Despite its fantastic design, the reliability issues don't feel justified by the price.
After one season, the ignition spark stopped working and the unit became useless.
68% praised for its water-resistant design, though 32% experienced issues in heavy rain
I tried to light a lantern with a lighter in the mountains but it did not ignite.
I have gone through two of these in a week and it only lights up after reaching a certain number of clicks.
