It has become almost impossible to fine lighters for gas ranges and outdoor grills that don't use butane. And the butane lighters that are on the market have become impossible to operate for anybody with hand weakness or arthritis. I'm pretty big and strong and it is very hard for me to operate any of the best-known brands.

So I was really pleased to see a lighter using a piezoelectric mechanism, and from a company I know well as a supplier of good camping accessories.

These lighters do not need batteries; they produce a small spark when you press a button that causes a small crystal to release enough electrical charge. Dependable mechanism. No butane needed, nothing. Takes very little force. The lighters are designed for ease of use.

The only problem is the small size of the spark. It has to be placed in just the right place to ignite a gas flame. I would rather have one of the older, nolonger-available battery-operated lighters. But these will do and I like them.

Overall, a very good and useful product. Highly recommended.

I got this lighter because we have an antique stove and the burners need to be lit. I used to use a fueled lighter and I was using a leaky one without knowing it and it blew up on top of the stove. I was in the ER for 4 hours and lost my eyebrows. I was lucky! Never again will I use one of those.

Yes you need to use this just right. The spark comes out towards one side, not the center. Put that side by the gas. Works well!

YMMV but it doesn't have the least bit of trouble lighting my gas stove burners. It doesn't seem to make any difference precisely where I put the tip or how I orient it it seems to be able to light the gas regardless. A big improvement in safety and ease of use over having to hold a conventional butane lighter right next to the burner.

I had this item for only 2 months before it stopped sparking. Even when it did spark, my wife had a hard time lighting the stove; I had more luck. But the fact that it stopped working altogether is a real bummer. Wish I could return it.

I got this for lighting my propane torch and Bunsen burner. I am very pleased with the lighter. It doesn't make a flame itself it just provides the spark to light a gas burner. It's very easy to use You put the end in the stream where the gas burner will be burning and push the button on the sparker a few times until the flame catches. I like this enough that I plan to get another one for the garage too.

By the way, it's a heck of a lot cheaper to buy propane torches without the built-in piezo sparker and buy the sparker separately. If you have two hands that's the way to go!
