Review: Very high build quality, lighting mechanism takes some practice - This is a very high quality lighter. It is made of metal and has a very solid feel, good build quality, it is nothing like those cheap plastic disposable ones. The mat black finish is also very nice. As some others pointed out, it is a little tricky to light at first, you have to press a button with your index finger, then click the trigger, it takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's just fine, I think some people complain for no reason. People complaining about the fact that it is shipped without fuel, there is a reason they do this. They keep it empty so that they can ship it using 2-day air. If it has fuel in it, they have to use ground shipping. So a lot of companies ship their stuff without fuel for this reason. And you have to buy the fuel separately, either locally, or wait for ground shipment. If you look at the butane cans, you will see this: "This product may not be available for 1 or 2 day shipping due to federal regulations that require it to ship via ground ship methods only" And finally, many have said that this thing dies after just a few weeks. I've had mine for about 3 months, and so far so good, no issues. I seriously wonder if these people know how to refill it correctly! Tip: you have to point the fuel can upside down when refilling, if you refill right side up, you won't get any liquid fuel in there. Pro: - great build quality, metal case, nice mat black finish - flexible neck works well, sturdy and good quality - easy to refill Con: - lighting mechanism takes some practice to get used to it Tip: - refill with the butane can upside down Review: love it - I start a lot of outdoor fires to burn off fallen branches in the country. This works. Every time. Outside in the wind. I really like that it's refillable and not a piece of crappy plastic. I was using a disposable up every weekend. Very glad to have something that will last at least a year with refillable fuel. I will warn you... I followed all the directions for the first fill use exactly. I used Zippo brand butane and was sure I completely filled the fuel reservoir (held the can upside down and pressed it against the fill valve for a good minute or more). I turned the flame to the lowest setting and waited overnight to try it (hard to wait). When I tried to fire it up (lol) it didn't light. Over and over I tried and nothing. I had to turn the flame up to full to get it to light the first time, which was against all the instructions. But that worked. I love it. It works in high wind. It's a great little lighter. ## Features - Durable metal construction - Wind-resistant dual flame technology - Adjustable flame dial, flexible neck - Patented child-resistant safety button; one-handed ignition switch - Fuel: Zippo butane fuel (sold separately) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002VRTAWE | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,954 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #290 in Lighters | | Brand Name | Zippo | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (3,812) | | Date First Available | May 2, 2004 | | Included Components | flex neck, instruction sheet | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 1.2 x 0.8 x 11.8 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 11.02 x 4.37 x 1.14 inches | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Zippo Manfacturing Company | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | Zippo Silver Flex Neck Utility Lighter, Unfilled | | Model Year | 2014 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Part Number | 121351 | | Size | One Size | | Sport Type | Camping & Hiking | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Images ![Zippo Flex Neck Utility Lighter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41GBB2fap6L.jpg) ![Zippo Flex Neck Utility Lighter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GR9cFperL.jpg) ![Zippo Flex Neck Utility Lighter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LKIYmR0qL.jpg) ![Zippo Flex Neck Utility Lighter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517cvb1Q5lL.jpg) ![Zippo Flex Neck Utility Lighter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LRASGJW-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it come with butane or should i also buy it ?** A: No, it does not come with butane. You have to buy butane separety **Q: IS IT REFILLABLE** A: YES, it is Refillable, I recommend using at least a 5***** Refined FUEL likeVector Quintuple Refined Butane Gas Fuel That is what I use & no Clogs :D **Q: how do you fill it** A: hi, you need butane gas in the aerosol can. i have gasone 5x. on the bottom of the lighter there is an adjustment wheel for height of flame. it is black. as you look at the bottom of the wheel you will see a small hole in the middle of it. this is the filler valve. holding the butane can upside down quickly press the nozzle against the valve. there may be some leakage until you get the correct angle. this gas will be very cold so avoid prolonged skin contact. when you have a good seal the gas will flow until the lighter is full. i do not know if the following is recommended practice but it works for me: i place the lighter in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before i fill it. this seems to allow it to fill more completely. i hope this helps. **Q: It can be loaded with an alternative gas?** A: yes it can I took mine to a smoke shop and showed the clerk the device so that the can I bought would fit the nozzle and fill the Zippo Flexneck ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high build quality, lighting mechanism takes some practice *by D***O on June 26, 2015* This is a very high quality lighter.

Lol *by J***R on March 23, 2017* Update - 1/7/2021- I'm a little embarrassed to say - my initial review was in part due to a lack of understanding about 'filling' butane lighters. Most of my complaint come to the fact that the lighter from day one, was just never properly filled. Make sure you take your time - 10 to 15 mins if needed, to hold that can to the lighter filler. It may take that long. And then let it rest for about 10 minutes before trying to light it. I LOVED this thing and just DIDN'T WANT IT TO FAIL. I had even taken it apart to see if maybe I could figure out WHY it was failing. Oddly, when the nozzle is off, it works better when underfilled, but maybe because you loose the regulator function that keeps it from becoming a full out torch. Regardless - IF properly filled, I found the unit to be a great household candle and fireplace lighter. High wind situations are not best for this - but it fails less quickly than a match would under similar circumstances. Apologies to Zippo. I do think you guys are still behind the curve and are leading on 1950s tech in some ways, but I am glad you are still IN BUSINESS and producing quality made products. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the original slam and wish someone would have reached out to me for 'support'. Oddly - your product eventually restored my faith in what you do. This lighter DOES NOT live up to expectations. ANY $2 lighter from a convenience store - will out perform this unit. I have to click it sometimes 6 or 8 times to get it to light. When it DOES light - the flame is so pitiful - I'm amazed it's able to light ANYTHING. Zippo supposedly has a lifetime warranty - but this is my third Zippo - though the other two were lighters. What we have here is a company that ONCE set the standard and OWNED the market - not more focused on what something "LOOKS LIKE" than how it actually performs. AT $14 per lighter - they sure won't go out of business - but that's it. I'm never buying another ZIPPO anything again. SAD sad sad that this company has not over the years IMPROVED it's products. They are still operating OBVIOUSLY on 1950's tech. Beautifully designed - but embarrassed by the thing if I have to use it in front of company. TOTAL LET DOWN - don't buy it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/1454346-zippo-flex-neck-utility-lighter](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/1454346-zippo-flex-neck-utility-lighter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
