I have gone through two of these things, and honestly, they aren't worth the money to me.
Yes, they look nice. But they are really not designed to be carried in the pocket(s) of blue jeans by someone who is fairly active with manual labor. On both, the same part broke, the piece of plastic that keeps the cover pressed down on the flame area. With both the plastic gave away to fatigue after a few months and then the butane would leak out withn a few days. At that rate, it was cheaper to use fluid in the Zippo.
And the Zippo with a pipe insert is now my primary lighter.
