Windproof Pocket Lighter Zippo 49357 — Classic refillable metal lighter, windproof flame

Zippo 49357 is a refillable metal windproof pocket lighter designed to provide a stable flame in outdoor conditions. The lighter has a durable steel case with a hinged lid and the classic flint-wheel ignition that allows reliable, single-hand operation. It accepts replaceable flints and is refilled with liquid lighter fluid, making it suitable for repeated use and everyday carry.

Advantages

The steel construction and hinged lid give physical protection to the flame assembly while the windproof chimney design helps maintain a steady flame in breezy environments. The flint-wheel ignition offers tactile feedback and simple maintenance: flints and cotton/insert replacement parts are user-serviceable. As a refillable metal lighter, it reduces dependency on disposable fuel sources and is designed for long-term use when properly maintained.

Suitable for

• Everyday carry for reliable ignition
• Camping and outdoor cooking where wind resistance is needed
• Lighting candles, stoves, or small fires in outdoor settings
• Use in workshops or garages for tasks requiring an open flame

Key specifications

• Body material: durable steel case
• Ignition type: flint-wheel (manual)
• Flame type: windproof flame via chimney design
• Fuel: refillable with liquid lighter fluid (sold separately)
• Maintenance: replaceable flints and refillable fuel chamber
• Form factor: pocket-sized, hinged lid for secure closure

How to use

Open the hinged lid with your thumb and strike the flint-wheel downward to produce a spark that ignites the fuel-saturated wick inside the chimney. To refill, remove the insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the cotton packing and add a small amount of recommended lighter fluid until saturated; then replace the insert and close the lid. Replace the flint when sparks become weak and trim or replace the wick if flame height becomes inconsistent. Follow the lighter fluid manufacturer’s safety instructions when refilling.

Usage recommendations

Store and transport the lighter with the lid closed to reduce fuel evaporation. Use genuine or recommended lighter fluid and replacement flints for best performance. Keep away from children and use only as intended; perform maintenance in a well-ventilated area and avoid overfilling.
