1 X Wickman 12" Pewter Butane Torch - Candle Accessories Gift - WL01-WICK

I bought this item in spite of the negative reviews and I'm glad I took a chance or I would have missed out on a nice item. I received the item promptly and it was nicely packaged and would look nice if given as a gift. It came already filled so I was able to use it right out of the box. It looks very stylish and I'll definitely leave it out. It feels nice in my hand, looks attractive, and appears to be well-made. I had no problem with the lever and the lighter lit the first time. I like that it is refillable and has an adjustable flame. I had previously purchased the Zippo mini lighter but I found it hard to operate as you must press a button while pushing the lever. However, the main drawback of the Zippo was its short length; it was of limited use to me as it was not long enough to reach many of the wicks I wanted to light, such as those in some Wolfard oil lamps I use. The length of the Wickman makes it ideal for almost any type of candle or oil lamp I want to light. Finally, the price on Amazon was very good. Compared to lighters costing 3 times as much or more, this lighter is definitely a good value. So,give the Wickman a try and don't be turned away by some of the negative reviews. I'm happy with my purchase!

I bought 3 of these for hostess gifts and was terribly embarassed when my host opened it and it could not light anything! Terribly hard to ignite with tough button. No flame coming out no matter how you adjust it. Better off going to the 99 cent store and buying one of those. Have two left and no way to return them since I have had them in my closet to use as gifts and it's been too long. Waste of money.

Everyone's reviews are pretty spot on. Nice design, not efficient ergonomic use. Girlfriend has difficulty lighting the lighter. Personally I do not however. The flame is not large or strong. On full strength it is low. It does look nice and is pretty big. Has a good weight to it. It is not a torch lighter but just a regular flame. Not sure why it says torch.

I am enjoying this product much better than the less expensive ones that break easily. It's easy to use and appears easy to refill. I have had it less than a week so I haven't had to refill yet. I think it would be a nice thoughtful gift for the candle lover in your life--even if that is you!

We were disappointed with the appearance and function and replaced it right away with a Colibri. Dull metal surface covered with bumps. Hard to adjust flame.

This item is much larger than I thought. It is a beautiful piece, but wow! It is similar to a large candle stick - guess I should have read the size. However, like I said beautiful piece, it is heavy, and works perfectly.

Unlike the flimsy construction found in most such products, this is not only a beautiful, robust construction it is a pease you will not mind displaying.

I agree with several posts that the ignite button on this is hard to push, but I was able to push it without a problem, so if you have very little arm strength (if you have trouble twisting lids off of jars) then this isn't for you. I loved the look of it, but mine wouldn't refill. I followed the instructions and turned it over and put the butane refill on it but the butane just squirted out. The lighter was clearly empty so that wasn't the issue. I'm returning it and will look for another. I'm disappointed because I like the appearance and how sturdy it feels, but I need it to light, not just to look pretty.
