Ronson Jetlite

Finally got to try one of these out this morning, thanks to gui-tarzan.

Chilly, windy morning, and the lighter performed flawlessly. These things are more wind-resistant than lighters that sell for 10X as much, so I can see they'll be perfect to carry in the hunting backpack, toss in the truck, etc.

Excellent value, definitely recommended!

Must absolutely agree. And, if you lose it? well, you're out 4$.

I really believe in them. and seriously, a disposable bic costs $1-2? One of the great bargains available.

The only drawback is that they are ugly as hell after a few weeks of pocket carry.

I noticed that the finish doesn't hold up real well. Still, what the hey? At $4/pop, they can't be beat.

At 33 degrees with about a 15MPH north wind this morning, I about froze my ass off, but I had no issues lighting up and enjoying a ~4 year old Old Henry robusto.

I just found a 12 pack of them on Ebay for $45 or so with free shipping. you ought to snag that, or somebody else who's in the availability dead zone should.

I feel like such a piker, I've only got one.

I use it more than any of my other lighters.

Thanks to you guys, I have a couple of these. Always try to keep one in the car for "emergencies"......they've worked like a champ so far.

I picked up a nice Ronson jet light while back home in September.

Worked great until I ran out of butane, and the shit they sell here clogged it up.
