Lighter Zippo 49576 by Zippo — classic refillable metal pocket lighter with flame design

Zippo 49576 is a refillable metal pocket lighter with a flame design on the case, combining classic Zippo mechanics with decorative styling. The lighter uses liquid fuel and a replaceable flint and wick system to provide reliable, wind-resistant ignition. Its hinged cap and robust steel construction offer everyday durability and make it suitable both as a practical tool and a collectible item.

Advantages

The Zippo 49576 delivers dependable ignition in breezy conditions thanks to its wind-resistant chimney and traditional lighter mechanism. The refillable design and replaceable flint and wick allow long-term use with routine maintenance, reducing the need to replace the entire unit. The metal case with a flame motif resists impact and wear better than many disposable lighters and retains its appearance over time with proper care. The hinged cap provides a secure closure and audible click for tactile feedback when opened and closed.

Suitable for

• Everyday pocket carry for lighting cigarettes, candles, or stoves
• Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and fishing where wind resistance matters
• Collectors and enthusiasts of branded metal lighters
• Tasks requiring a compact, refillable ignition source

Key specifications

How to use

To operate the Zippo 49576, flip open the hinged cap, spin the flint wheel with your thumb to create a spark, and maintain the flame by ensuring the wick is saturated with lighter fluid. Refill the fuel chamber by removing the insert and adding liquid fuel to the cotton packing until adequately saturated, then reassemble. Replace the flint when sparks become weak and trim or replace the wick if the flame becomes uneven or diminished. Close the cap to extinguish the flame and store the lighter upright when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use only recommended liquid lighter fluid for refilling and genuine replacement flints and wicks to maintain performance and reduce risk of malfunction. Keep the lighter away from children and extreme heat sources, and perform regular maintenance—refilling, flint replacement, and wick adjustment—according to use frequency to ensure long-term reliability.
