Windmill Delta Stormproof Lighters @ REI for $23.95

Welcome to the forums, but just a heads up that deal spotting is not allowed and this post will most likely be deleted.
 
Never used one, but have read that they are a great little lighter.

I didn't see them when I was at our local REI. I picked up a Windmill knockoff from Walmart. I figured that if it held the fuel without leaking, it was worth the $9.00 I paid for it. So far no problems.

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I haven't lurked that closely. Thanks for the welcome as well.

Recently purchased a Benchmade 525SBK and am very happy with it.

Nice "spot" anyway crhoades! I just ordered one. I think the whole "dealspotting" rule is ridiculous and stupid anyway. I'm glad I checked this post early!!
 
Nice looking job that, do they work well though?

Too bad the international shipping charges are almost as much as the lighter itself:eek:bit of a rip off there as I'm sure it would come in a padded envelope with 4.75 postage...sigh!
 
Nice of the original poster to mention this to everyone, but I'm not a big fan of high dollar lighters mainly because I havent found any of them to work particularly well at higher altitudes or cold temps. So, I just get the cheap Bic lighters for convenience and use a firesteel for emergency fire starting (using cotton balls saturated in petroleum jelly as tinder). In addition, the 'stormproof' lighters usually have attached lids that open in the most inconvenient place - - right in front of you where youre trying to light. - - - I did find a lighter in a retail REI made by Collibri that I like. Its long like those used to start a grill. It has a flame adjusting knob that you can turn with your fingers, unlike the small one you often find on lighters that require a small screwdriver. And, it doesn't have a cover. Theres a place for attaching a lanyard so you can wear it close to your body to keep it warm which helps it work better. Think it went for about $10. Not as cheap as the Bic and not as compact, but more effective. - -
