Clawgear Storm Pocket Lighter Mk.III

Thirteen hundred degrees, in a jet flame. An ordinary lighter flame peaks well below that and goes out at the slightest breeze. This one is directional and wind-resistant.

What a jet flame enables

It's concentrated, therefore precise. At this temperature, you don't just light things: you weld a piece of synthetic rope to prevent it from fraying, you heat a heat-shrink tube, you make field repairs. A free-flame lighter can't do any of these three tasks.

Wind-resistant

This property gives this type of lighter its name. The jet comes out under pressure and doesn't extinguish in a gust – the difference between lighting a stove on the first try or the tenth.

The soft-touch surface

The coating ensures grip with gloves or wet hands. On an object of this size, a smooth body would slip.

Piezo ignition

One press, one spark. No wheel to scratch, no flint to wear out.

Rechargeable

It's gas refillable: it's an item you keep, not throw away. Over time, that's also what makes it cheaper than a succession of disposable lighters.

Colors

Four colors: Black, Coyote, Solid Rock, and Stonegrey Olive.
