Unusable,
After two days of light use the cap will not tighten to the lighter because the threads on the cap do not match the threads on the housing. This means I can’t leave fluid in the lighter which means it cannot be used. It is obvious True Utility let this product bypass quality control inspection which is unacceptable. However, I will make a new housing for the lighter and continue to use it.
I cannot not recommend this lighter to anyone.
Amazon did a great job packing and shipping the products and I received everything a day early.

Great idea, mine unscrewed and now it’s gone,
The FireStash arrived a couple days after my other Amazon products in the same order, but those were shipped directly from an Amazon warehouses and this did not, so that is understandable. The FireStash is really high quality, no blemishes on the metal, fits on my keychain well, and was easy to fill with zippo-type lighter fluid after I bought some at a corner store.
I then had a problem with the screw-on part. To give you a visual, the keychain part is the cap to the lighter, and the lighter has threads to screw into the cap. There is an o-ring on the lighter to ensure that when the lighter is properly screwed on that the lighter fluid does not evaporate and/or maybe it helps with making the screw tight as well.
However, I noticed that if you screw the lighter into the cap, there is no stopping point, it just gets tighter and tighter until it resets on a lower thread and becomes loose again. Not sure if this was specifically related to how I was screwing it on or whatever, but it was difficult to ensure that the lighter was tightly and securely screwed into the cap. This led the lighter to fall out of the cap at some point on my early ownership and now it’s gone.
Overall, really great idea for a great price, but either I’m doing something wrong or the connection between the cap and lighter needs to be re-thought. I would love to give it 5 stars, but I can’t since I only owned it for a week before it fell off my keychain.

Fantastic little lighter!,
I have another tiny pill-case the same size, and the other day, I discovered that it had unscrewed and dropped onto the floor. While this hasn’t happened with my lighter, I want to caution anyone who buys it to make sure it stays in a pocket or purse. (I keep my keys on a clip on my belt loop during the day at work). I’m not saying this lighter will unscrew and fall out, just that anything that has threads can work themselves loose with vibration/movement over time, and this is no exception. I have now moved this where it won’t be lost if it unscrews.
The price was good, and I can’t wait until my next hiking trip to surprise my friends with it.
Also, a tip that I recommend for anyone who is a «prepper» or wants to purchase this for emergencies, take an extra flint, and put it inside the lighter, on top the felt that absorbs the lighter fluid. Just remember it’s there when you go to refill it so it doesn’t drop out. This way, if you have an emergency where you are using this alot, you have an extra flint you can install at the ready.
I also found a small «fuel storage» cylinder that is slightly larger than the lighter, that also is keyring based. If you’re going to use this for hiking, camping, or prepping, I recommend you get that as well, and clip them together. You will have a spare flint, and plenty of fuel for a good amount of time. And of course, you have to test/use both of them BEFORE the emergency or hiking trip. And I would always have a 2nd or 3rd means of starting a fire as a backup…but this is the greatest 1st method!
A few safety items:
1) Once filled, you won’t be able to get this through airport security. So if you keep it on your key ring and forget about it, it will be confiscated. Also, even empty, they might take it. It’s small enough, if you need it when you get there, mail it ahead of time to yourself for «general delivery» at a post office…but it will still have to be unfilled (never filled) with lighter fluid!
2) Don’t ever use gasoline in this. Gasoline is explosive.
3) This isn’t a toy, (not for kids obviously) and since it is small with a full-size flame, it will get hot quick. Light what you have to light quickly and blow it out!
4) If you clip this on your belt loop or backpack, make sure it is tucked in a pocket as well so it doesn’t unscrew and get lost.
Oh, and the water-resistant case that they ship it in is fantastic! It isn’t super heavy-duty rugged, but it’s perfect for using inside your pack to keep stuff dry, say some emergency kindling, or some medications. It helps offset the $10 price and make this item a good value.
