Windproof metal lighter Zippo 29689 by Zippo — refillable pocket lighter, classic flip-top

Zippo 29689 is a windproof metal refillable pocket lighter by Zippo with a classic flip-top design. It features durable metal construction and a reliable ignition mechanism engineered for consistent performance in outdoor and everyday conditions. The lighter is designed for use with liquid fuel and a replaceable flint system, delivering one-hand operation and long-term serviceability in a compact metal housing.

Advantages

The lighter combines a windproof flame with a sturdy metal case that resists deformation and provides a tactile, secure feel in the hand. Its refillable design lowers the need for frequent replacement, while the replaceable flint and removable insert allow straightforward maintenance. The classic flip-top mechanism offers quick ignition and reliable closure, reducing accidental openings and helping to protect the wick and cotton reservoir inside.

Suitable for

• Outdoor activities where a wind-resistant flame is required
• Everyday pocket carry for smokers or general-purpose use
• Situations needing a durable, serviceable metal lighter
• Users who prefer refillable lighters with replaceable parts

Key specifications

• Construction: metal case with flip-top lid
• Ignition: flint-wheel ignition with replaceable flint
• Fuel type: refillable liquid lighter fluid
• Flame characteristic: wind-resistant flame design
• Operation: one-hand opening and ignition

How to use

Open the flip-top lid with one hand, rotate the flint wheel to create a spark and produce a flame, then hold the wheel until flame stabilises. To refill, remove the lighter insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the cotton reservoir and add an appropriate amount of liquid lighter fluid; allow time for the fluid to saturate the cotton before ignition. Replace the flint by unscrewing the flint spring, inserting a new flint, and reassembling. Close the lid after use to extinguish the flame and protect the internal components.

Usage recommendations

Use only recommended lighter fluid and replaceable flints designed for this style of lighter. Refill and service in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or heat sources. Inspect the wick and flint periodically and replace worn parts to maintain reliable ignition and optimal wind resistance.
