After more than six months of daily use...I've determined (to my own satisfaction) that this lighter packs a bigger punch than it's size would lead you to believe. High build-quality, ridiculously low consumption of butane (3-8 bowls per day for up to, or over two weeks), easy to refill, fits anywhere; pockets of any size, pipe pouches, any of the myriad of holders/consoles, etc. in the car and/or truck, and so on. The finish appears to be durable...it avoids scratches, survives dropping, the finish isn't a 'stick-on' thing-it's the metal that's that color...ie. it won't rub off or wear out. An absolute no-regret's purchase.
