Why You Should Buy An Armor Zippo

[@ZoneCrasher]

They need to make an armor with 2x the thickness and a more solid hinge too.

I brought my dad the same gold plated 2018 collectible edition one for 2k18 Xmas. Still makes me smile when I hear the distinct ping it's his only armour so I can always tell.

[@Zippofanatic77outdoors]

That zippo is worth 400$ now. Good purchase my man. New channel come check It out. I lost this one.

[@darrinelliot.]

Newly into Zippos myself after acquiring my 1st 1935 replica Brushed Chrome W/ slashes. After this video I think I’m going with a Brass Armor on my next build. Great content much appreciated.

[@petemitchell6788]

Build? 🤡

[@darrinelliot.]

@@petemitchell6788 yes you nimrod. “BUILD”. You can swap out a windproof insert in any classic case with a zippo accessory lighter insert. This way having multiple zippos in your collection allows many different combinations & builds. Hope that helps your critical thinking.

[@bladeguru6358]

Just got into Zippos. Got about a dozen of the normal windproofs. I’m hooked. Looking to order a couple of armor type. Thanks. Good vid.

[@Toletanus]

Finally! My high polished brass armor zippo, is here in my hands! Love the weight and the more round finish. Is truly beautiful!

[@tedseb7726]

Mines coming in the mail and man waiting sucks. Old classic brass finally gave out on me so I figured it’s time for an upgrade.

[@aaronmills4238]

I never herd of an armoured zippos before you mentioned in a following video

[@HelplessTeno]

I just got my first Zippo recently on a whim. Got the Chrome "Vintage" model. I'm thinking about getting a polished brass Armor and throwing a brass pipe insert in it for my daily pipe lighter. I now completely understand why people have vast collections and get obsessed with Zippo. They're just so useful and fucking cool.

[@predragjo5977]

The only reason I opted for the classic Zippo over Armor is the fact that they use the exact same hinge they use on the classic models. The lid on the Armor is heavier and I believe that the hinge may get loose due to the extra stress on it over time.

[@timothex]

Damn them skills in the intro are siiick man. Subbed.

[@setthestandardsimracing8689]

The only thing I have never liked about zippos is the hinge, im sick of having to adjust it or send it off for repair ect, I'm actually thinking about getting a ZORRO lighter they seem really sturdy

[@JonnyHatSwag]

Zorro is a very low quality lighter brand. No lifetime warranty, nothing. And if you don’t do tricks the zippo hinges will last a lifetime.

[@lampexxl8599]

@@JonnyHatSwag I have heard Zorros are very decent for their price. They come with different features that make them stand out from Zippos such as rubber seals, machined hinge and inserts with chimney cap.

[@setthestandardsimracing8689]

@jean-mariegeiselberger8971 I now own a zorro I can say they don't feel cheap and I'd say it'll last a lot longer than my zippo, plus the fuel lasts a LOT longer than my zippo does well worth the price zippos are just over rated now.

[@RandoWisLuL]

@@setthestandardsimracing8689 Zorro is definitely low quality. Not Bic low quality, but definitely not the same as a Zippo. Every Zorro ive owned broke. I still have Zippos from the 40s.

[@Primis00]

I think i have 4 armors. I have the standard brass ones, tumbled, high polish and brushed and then i have the world copper armor. I definetely like the sound of armor zippos more than regular ones. They have an extra loud ping from my experience.

[@Primis00]

@@ZippoFanatic77 I got extremely lucky with the copper one. Usually its about 120$ but i found it on amazon and i think they listed it with the wrong price cuz i got it for 40$. I was shocked when i saw the real price of it cuz it had gone up to 160$

[@menace2society00]

Zippo isn't the most practical but for most the nostalgia, ping, look, and fun fidgeting with it make it worth it

[@westonknight7474]

I do not smoke, but I've been carrying (at least two [both Armor Zippos] for a very-very long time now). I have two different kinds of butane inserts in these two well-worn zippos... one is a highly polished silver armor and one is a gold-plated armor zippo. Between these two and my ferro-rod on the side of my fixed bladed knife, I guess I have the fire making thing checked off of my little tools list. I've used all three of these wonderful tools at some point more than once over the years. I also carry an edcfans waterproof container (it looks like a little bomb with a glass breaker on the tip)... it's hollow inside, and I have about seven slivers of small fatwood and several small Vaseline impregnated tips of cotton inside of this very functional little tool. I'm a fifty-nine year old man... (old man), and of all of the little things/tools I carry under my very baggy clothes (i.e., no printing at all... none), I think that I've used the two zippos the least, but I have used them (both) more than once over the years. I like the experience of, out of nowhere, needing something, and then saying to myself, "Oh yeah, I've got something for that right on me." That's really a wonderful-wonderful feeling. Great video, by the way. Please keep up the good work, and please be well. 🤔

[@lunisic]

So i just got a 22 tumbled brass armor off amazon and is it me or this hinge is different than the classic model. It looks beefier and the plate inside looks longer? Did they listen or am I trippin?
