Pretty sure it didn't have any fuel

[@bullridermusic2054]

I was wondering the same thing. If it didn't have fuel, why not buy Zippo spec lighting fluid, which is cheap and put some in for the video it's very cheap. That was not a good part of this video.

[@meursault7030]

If you have a zippo as your lighter, it's a great way to ensure you'll always have a conversation starter at the pub, because you'll be asking everyone else for a light when your fuel has evaporated within 2 seconds of refilling it.

[@PhilBristow]

I was issued a signal by my company when I worked assisting US troops several years ago, it is an excellent multi-tool. I broke the pocket clip and need to order a new one, but the tool is phenomenal. Also, just wanted to point out that the Zippo typically uses lighter fluid which is similar to kerosene. It is not a butane lighter unless you buy specific butane inserts for it.

[@micahsexton4281]

Can confirm that the Signal is amazing. If you look into 3d printed mods, you can carry extra bits or a tweezer/toothpick combo, too!

[@bigdickballsack]

I can vouch for that too. Signal is more than enough for both my work and adventure outdoor too.

[@EverettVinzant]

The Leatherman Signal is great for bushcraft gear. For EDC, I'd recommend a one-handed American made Leatherman like the Arc. Zippos suck. They LOOK good. Unless you are a smoker, they will be empty when you go to use them. There are inserts you can put in a zippo body to make it use other fuels. Do this, and you will have a Zippo that has fuel in it when you need it. While I like the look of the Stanley hip flask, I learned to use a Platypus instead. It's flexible (so it's impossible to visually detect, I've also had it missed in a pat down), doesn't set off metal detectors, and carries more.

[@literallyunderrated]

The lighter fuel evaporates so quickly in a Zippo. It cracks me up when I see them in post apocalyptic movies. But I’m curious about these inserts you mentioned. That platypus thing sounds interesting too

[@lifelesson88]

zippo look cool but maintance is just nightmare, even for a smoker like me

[@richardsabo7917]

Had a keybar in copper. Broke 4 master keys at work because of the added torque the key bar provides when turning they key. Yes, it makes the doors easier to open but it absolutely obliterates keys if the locks are hard to turn and get hung up.

[@brickster000]

Thanks for the info. I'd rather not risk breaking my keys, so I'll avoid one.

[@swimmer8585]

Can agree with the GR1. My GR1 is 4 years old, and hasn’t shown any wear besides the fabric pulls on the zippers. I’ve also bought a GR3 for travel, and it’s done well

[@D33tsz]

Genuine question- i've never understood what people need to use a blade for in their EDC. I don't think I've ever come across a situation where I need to use a blade for anything other than opening a package. If i'm camping/hiking then I might take a swiss knife. Same applies to a zippo for non-smokers (I would recommend being a non-smoker.. lol)

[@hz2204]

this comment is underrated

[@andrewgonzalez7143]

Honestly, it really depends on what your daily life looks like. If youve got a desk job or only use a blade for opening the occasional package, then obviously a blade isn't for you. For other folks, a blade can be useful. This then opens up discussion for "well, which blade do you use?" Personally, I'm a blue collar worker, I used to work in construction and landscape, and I'm usually the package opener around the house and office. I always have a blade on me, whether it's a cheapo little razor blade, a keychain Victorinox, a budget folding knife, a 200 dollar knife, a pocket fixed blade, or any combination of the above. I fully understand it's not a universal commodity, and each tool has an appropriate (and inappropriate) environment. I'll use a blade daily, whether it's for cutting my meals into bite size pieces, prepping cardboard for recycling, cutting packages, trimming loose threads, making clean cuts in paper, cutting zip ties, or anything in between. I find my blades incredibly useful, and I'll likely never stop carrying a knife of some sort. But I also recognize that it isn't a universal experience. That being said, "EDC" itself isn't universal either. It's a concept, not a literal list of tools that everyone is required to carry. Some folks don't carry a handkerchief. Some folks don't carry a lighter. Some folks don't even carry a wallet. And yet, some folks (myself included) carry all of these things. There is no right or wrong answer, as long as you stay legal, safe, and use what you carry. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more, it's how we communicate and learn.

[@thejoshfargo]

As an owner and lover of the same stanley flask in hammertone green, i highly recommend their wide-mouth flask. Much easier to fill, prevents you from carrying a flask funnel around or trying to freehand it and spill. Great video

[@StephenDodds-o6e]

Zippos are great for EDC around town, but are useless beyond that because the fluid evaporates too quickly.

[@straumboney1903]

I replaced mine with a $10 peanut lighter, the O ring helps reduce evaporation. I can still get it to light after a month of filling it.

[@EvanEdwards]

Get a bottom seal and it helps greatly. If you like the format. If you're not attached to the format or aren't okay with topping it off now and then, there are better options if you want an emergency lighter you seldom use. Or you mostly light things like candles or grills.

[@EverettVinzant]

@@EvanEdwards I've done a bottom seal AND put it in a sealing body. STILL doesn't fix the problem (I get a few more days, but not a month like I have with other sealing/peanut lighters). Zippo DOES make inserts that use other fuels though (the flame is like a blow torch). These DO make it last.

[@ppanda2974]

zippo makes butane inserts that work great (make sure you use high quality butane though)

[@Low-effort-individual]

I carry the little zippo fuel holder lives in my edc pouch refill the zippo when I strop my knife but I do have a extra bic just in case

[@nwnw9247]

Honestly, I have to say that choosing a Zippo is rather questionable. Sure, it’s made of metal and very durable, but let's be real-maintaining the wick and fuel can be a hassle, and if it gets wet, you’re out of luck. Don’t get me wrong, Zippos are wonderful; I have a collection myself, but purely for display. For practical purposes, I wouldn’t rely on one. If I’m heading to a pub and need a light for a cigarette, I’d bring a Bic or a Clipper. They’re simply more reliable in every way.

[@ulvesparker]

I briefly carried my keys on a similar (anodized) inline foldout key carrier which seemed like a cool, brilliant idea. Then I discovered the downside of carrying something that is ostensibly innocent and more or less harmless i.e. keys, in an outward container that looks somewhat more like a weapon i.e. a folding pocket knife. So.... by attracting attention, it got closer inspection which became more of a problem with other non-key tools or special keys that I like to carry among my keys. I went back to my keyring and problem was solved. As much as I love my trusty, old zippo (the lighter I bought at the PX in Alabama when I was in Basic), I reluctantly recognize that there are now much better, more durable, more reliable, more feature laden, less maintenance fire lighting solutions out there. Mine is titanium, absolutely waterproof, lights in all conditions, actually smaller than a Zippo, and glows in the dark. It even has a ferro rod on the lanyard as a backup.

[@manwiththeredface7821]

[@esmeraldadevries9182]

The Zippo is a leaky,messy, smelly and unreliable lighter. Beter to replace the inner fluid fuel workings with the refillable gas module from Zippo. Much cleaner, no leaking and most importantly more reliable.

[@jt2506productions]

I love to see Randolph getting some love. Best pair of glasses I have ever owned

[@Genecaster]

I use a pair of Randolph Concordes every single day (bit more traditional Aviator style) in my car. I love them more than any other sunglasses I've ever owned. I actually have two pairs, I thought I lost a pair, and immediately bought another. Then I found it. Their warranty doesn't cover scratches but you can easily send stuff back and they'll fix them. Made in USA, not owned by the sunglass monopoly Luxottica, and great group to work with. I pretty much only buy Randolphs if I want a pair of serious sunglasses.

[@stevejackson9952]

[@11_EVERYTHING_OEFx2]

They make aftermarket inserts for the bottom of zippos that can reduce evaporation by up to 95%. They’re like $4 for a pack.

[@UltraMagaFan]

Those rubber gaskets they sell to put in the bottom of Zippo inserts are complete junk. I tried one and it became brittle, because it was soaked in lighter fluid, and it cracked after a few weeks. If you’re worried about fuel evaporation buy a butane insert for it. Vector, Zippo and Zorro all make nice ones. If you want to keep the petrol lighter get a peanut lighter like the Exotac Titanlight.

[@josephesquivel4066]

Zippos are good, for as long as the fluid don't dry up before you use it.

[@SchemeOfThings360]

when i saw the stanley flask i knew this would be a respectable video.

[@_ScriptKitty]

I love Zippos but I don't carry one anymore. The fuel evaporates too fast. If you aren't a smoker who uses there zippo daily and /or filling it regularly you will probably pull it out of you pocket after a week of non use and find it empty. A disposable bic will be is a better choice for a non smoker it can be expected to fire after months of non use with no upkeep. I have tried minimalist wallets, I want to like them but they have never worked for me. mostly because they don't accommodate cash well.

[@EricCampbellUAV]

hence why carrying this shit every day is stupid

[@Skitzoshank]

I think a great alternative to the ridge is the Groove wallet

[@VanDoomFTW]

+1 for Keybar, I love my titanium one!

[@UCEBuster]

Butane doesn't work in that type of lighter. Since it' doesn't hold pressure, it would outgas in a matter of seconds. It needs to be filled with a naphtha based lighter fluid.

[@folksurvival]

Just put a butane insert in.

[@nosville22]

Glad as I am for the fact that someone recognized Signal's Value as an EDC component giving Leatherman universal praise in the resilience department is a lot for them given what happened to Squirt. I am similarly not convinced of the resilience of Ridge wallet given what I know of elastic materials like the one holding it together. And for the record I do have other problems with the products of those companies, they just aren't relevant in context of the video.

[@corpse74]

The only issue for me and the Stanley is that I wish I could get it in the standard flask look. I like to put my flask in my boot, this flask is awkward in there on the ankle but great otherwise.

[@RC-1148]

Tactile turn is epic despite its high price point. I just throw in a Pilot G2 and carry it in my bag everyday.

[@DarrellGrainger]

I don't know if the Keybar is really as nice as the Keysmart. My Keysmart is a lot slimmer and elegant looking but has last me a really long time. On the recommendation of a client from Switzerland, I bought a Ridge wallet and continue to use it a decade later. The elastic that holds it together is a little worn but shows no signs of failing. The simplicity of my Stanley cup is really nice too. There are very few moving parts. In general, I have always loved things with very few moving parts and found they last a lot longer than other more complicated items. For example, Campagnolo bicycle shifters are incredibly simple and lasted forever compared to Shimano shifters. The Shimano shifters have some interesting designs that can give a competitive advantage but for every day use, the Campagnolo shifters are king. Lights have been improving every year. I have some Surefire lights and find them okay but there are a LOT of better lights coming out of Asia and they are improving every day. I would never recommend any light as a classic. I would also recommend looking at what is available when you are looking to purchase. Even Surefire is coming out with better and better lights every year. I have numerous lights that are as good or better than my Surefire plus the brightness of lights bought recently are leaps and bounds better than older lights. My first, small light from 17 years ago was 110 lumens. Last light I purchased in 2019 was 3000 lumens. I wouldn't be surprised if today's lights are 4500+ lumens.

[@earthling_parth]

I personally like my bi-fold "slimwallet" wallet better now than any just card holder-only type design. Ridge makes the sorting and searching through cards impossible and if you have embossed names, the cards will scratch and damage the magnetic strip on them like anything. The slimwallet is also thinner than buffway slim wallet and they provide a lifetime warranty for the cloth/material of the wallet. I personally love that material and wallet vibes in minimalistic looking cute colors as well.

[@neilsenhall3790]

just wanna say that the version of the zippo shown is not butane but liquid fuel , butane is in a pressurised container

[@folksurvival]

Victorinox Swiss Tool and Spirit models are much higher quality than Leatherman tools and Victorinox tools have a lifetime warranty.

[@0v417]

the stanley flask is not BIFL had mine for a few years and the lid retainer sheared off of the flask body. no real damage but does not function properly anymore and can’t be remounted.

[@JohnnyCocas00]

All LEDs eventually die out, the Surefire certainly is no exception. That being said, there's much better lights at that price (and cheaper) with just as good quality, but much improved features. For $100 you can get amazing durable flashlights that will last you a long time, and are superior to that one in every way.

[@cmln2413]

Big problem with a Zippo is longevity of use. The fuel will wick out and evaporate quickly. Not a problem if you're a smoker who uses it all the time and fills it everyday. Big problem if you just want to have around a source of fire simply when needed.

[@Ray.J]

Love most everything, but just can’t warm up to that wallet. I guess it’s an old school thing where I believe wallets are to be made from leather. And likely because I am a leather worker (hobby). Nice video!

[@UltraMagaFan]

Leatherman commonly uses 420HC blade steel for the knife in their multi tools. They also don’t heat treat it properly. I bought a Free K2, which costed me $80, and it went extremely dull after 2 days of light use. All I used it for was to cut weed eater cord. I’ll never buy another multi tool from them again after that.
