A simple spark igniter for gas stoves. It doesn't need batteries and doesn't need butane gas to work. Good for lighting gas stoves, grills, and camping stoves.

Every bit as good as the original that we’ve had for 25 years

The position of the black button is too close to the tip and needs several clicks. My old one, not this brand, the button is on the side of the handle, very easy to use. I really don't understand why they design the black button there. It actually made it much shorter than it is. Your fingers should be so close to the stove burner.

light the top burners of my big Wolf range. I just don't like keeping the pilots going, THO I don't seem to have any trouble living w/ the pilots on my gas water heater and furnace. Go figure!? Anyways, over many yrs I've gone the butane starter route, pita to fill, keep a 'supply of butane handy (I don't smoke) and it died in a few months. Next to the trigger turning a wheel striking a flint gizmo. That one worked great for 8-10 yrs (of pretty heavy use) but broke and I can't fine such any more. Should have bought a few! Oh well. So went w/ a piezo a couple yrs ago. No fuel (or flint) to replace. Great. First one, can't recall the brand, died in months. Next was this Coghlan (about 5-6 bucks at the time) and the other Coghlan. I'm pretty handy, good w/ tools, taking (AND reassembling!) stuff and have a workshop. Took apart #1, the push switch (a mostly thin plastic housing) had broken into 3-4 pieces. Can't fix. #2, stored in a cool dry room, died seconds after removing from the blister pak!! Took it apart and a soldered wiring connection had come apart. Bad soldering practices on the assembly line that day I guess. Re-soldered. Re-assembled. Nothing. Back to repair step one. Now I notice under a bright light that the push switch innards are corroded and green-ish. OK, so that's 20 mins of my life I'll never get back. Toss. Ordered a lil' TORCH 6" piezo ($6) from Amz and used stick matches while I waited the wk or so for the TORCH to arrive here in Calif. Have only used for a wk but it works great. Lights my burners 1st or 2nd time, period. The Coghlan always req'd a few trigger pulls. Smaller spark perhaps? Will the TORCH one be 'great'/OK in a yr or 5 or 10 ??? Fingers crossed, and too I'm keeping a box of wooden matches handy.I know this is a LONG review but I don't like stuff that fail to do the job, break, etc. 6 buck piezo lighter or $60G car.Btw, the TORCH is made in Taiwan, the Coghlan in Red China, if that matters to you. It kinda does for me.

Well made, sturdy construction. Arrived on time, original packaging. I use for lighting a home propane grill and torch. Remember, this is a flame-less, sparking igniter. No fuel or batteries are ever needed, but the gas must enter the sparking chamber at the tip to work. It will only light gases, not designed for liquids, candles, or other flammables. For those complaints about multiple clicks, the gas must reach the spark before any igniter will work. It might take a second and wind will blow the gas away from the spark. Also, remove from flame as soon as burner ignites, cooking the tip will probably ruin it. Keep inside, out of the weather for longer life.

easy to grip and convenient to use, but sometimes needs several clicks to ignite gas burner. Also, the trigger has jammed on a few occasions. But overall, I would recommend the product as it is reasonably priced and you don't have to hassle with batteries. Be careful with monitoring the gas flow while igniting, because if it does not light after a few clicks, you should shut of gas, wait a little bit for gas to dissipate and then try again.

Our Olympian sparker died for some reason, so we needed to get a new one. The Olympian has a C battery and is flimsily built. You have to be careful with it and we are like bulls in a china shop. But it works nicely when its running. So I ordered another one, and ordered this little gem as well as a backup. It does not require batteries nor fluid and the button is easy to push which sends out just enough spark to light our natural gas burners. I was happily surprised. I'm not sure which lighter will end up as the champ but this tool has a lot going for it. It has few moving parts and it may take a spill or two before it starts turning into a rattle. Lets face it, it cost something like $6 but it will definitely work great for any gas driven stove or BBQ etc. I'm not sure about lanterns.

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, no- longer-available battery-operated lighters. But these will do and I like them.Overall, a very good and useful product. Highly recommended.
