Lighter Zippo 49188 — Zippo windproof lighter, chrome finish

Zippo 49188 is a windproof lighter with a chrome finish that combines the classic flip-top design with a refillable fuel system. Constructed from durable metal, it is engineered to provide reliable ignition in windy conditions and to withstand frequent use. The lighter accepts replaceable flints and wicks and uses Zippo lighter fluid for refilling, making maintenance straightforward for everyday carry and outdoor activities.

Advantages

The chrome finish provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain. Windproof ignition technology ensures a stable flame in breezy environments, while the flip-top mechanism delivers quick one-handed operation. Refillable design reduces waste and allows long-term use, and replaceable flints and wicks simplify upkeep. Metal construction offers impact resistance and thermal stability during regular handling.

Suitable for

• Everyday carry and pocket use
• Camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities
• Lighting stoves, campfires, and candles in windy conditions
• Workshops or tasks requiring a reliable handheld ignition source

Key specifications

• Windproof ignition design for reliable flame in breezy conditions
• Chrome finish for a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface
• Durable metal construction for impact resistance
• Refillable fuel system compatible with Zippo lighter fluid
• Replaceable flint and wick for easy maintenance
• Classic flip-top mechanism for one-handed operation

How to use

Open the flip-top lid and operate the striker wheel with the thumb to ignite the flame. To refill, remove the lighter insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the packing material and add Zippo lighter fluid sparingly until the packing is saturated; reinsert the insert and wipe away any excess fluid. Replace the flint by removing the flint screw and inserting a new flint, and replace the wick by removing the insert and pulling the old wick up and cutting it to length after inserting a new wick as needed. Follow standard safety precautions: keep away from children, avoid overfilling, and allow any spilled fluid to evaporate before ignition.

Usage recommendations

Store the lighter upright when not in use and carry it in a protective pocket or case to minimize surface scratches. Use only Zippo lighter fluid for best performance, and perform periodic maintenance—replace flints and wicks as they wear—to ensure consistent ignition. Avoid exposing the lighter to extreme heat or prolonged immersion in water.
