thanks, never see this toy before.
however, if you need weatherman multitools, i suggest you buy swisstool.
swisstool is better than leatherman multitools

Leatherman makes excellent tools. But that bracelet is a lot of heft to be hauling around on your wrist.

Stanly tools are the worst

OK, I stand corrected. It looks heavy but only weighs about 150gm. My stainless steel Seamaster is heavier at 155gm.

After looking at this innovative tool through and through my conclusion is : Design and Idea is 10 points ; practicality is perhaps only 2 points.

Looks like its use is very limited to only very simple applications.

STANLEY...not stanly, it was good when it was MADE IN UK, used to trust them for their screw drivers, saws, measuring tape, chisel etc...when I was in to wood working, when I was young. Used to be the 'tools, you swear by" in the past...STANLEY the old, missed "ya"!

Rare to see a woman who knows and can appreciate good tools. Kudos to you. The women in my family just nag and bitch.

pls ask your woman to diy and save some money.
many things can be re-used. all you need is just to try and learn.
you can learn in from youtube.

i see many people buy instant lighter and just throwing it away when the fuel is finished.

instead of using instant lighter, we shall use zippo lighter. it can be refilled and it is cheap (in long term)

Yes, I will let them know. Thank you.

BTW, I thought Zippos, refilling them and replacing the flint are a guy thing. Kudos to you again.

it is so easy to refill, u can go to goh kim tiam to buy zippo fuel.
open the bottom and fill up with fuel. close it again.
flint? i dont know how to change it. i think flint can last for several years!

Once the spark starts to diminish, unscrew the bottom screw. Attached to the screw are a spring and a plunger (that pushes the flint upwards). The flint sits on top.

That's complete bullshit. I own a mini zippo and it's a love-hate relationship. Need to refuel at least once a week, change flint once a month (or 6 weeks), change wick twice a year. The Zippo is an amricana symbol but it is overrated as a lighter. Disposables are much more practical.

 

[gingerlyn]

OK, i will remember that next time.
can we buy flint from goh kim tian ?
many of my things are purchased from amazon.

Nothing beats a Bic!

how often do you use zippo? are you a smoker? I am not a smoker.
i only use zippo to pai pai, pai ti kong.
I have one long head zippo and I use it in the kitchen. I use the long head zippo to light candle during birthday.
it is very durable.
the fuel is so cheap. 1 can of fuel is less than 5 dollars

Yes I am a smoker.

What is a long head zippo>? I'm only aware of 3 models they sell - the standard, the cigar and the mini.

If you are a real zippo user (sorry I really doubt your story now) you will know that the gas evaporates even if you leave it alone. Definitely won't last 2 weeks.

No such problem with bic or cricket lighters. They last at least 3 months or until the India/China airport customs force me to surrender them
