Lidl have some windproof lighters for £1.49. Has anyone bought one?
Do they in any way resemble the lighters which the Survival Shop used
to sell, which were claimed were hot enough to weld with?
These ones are stainless stell, but look a bit flimsy.

These ones are stainless stell, but look a bit flimsy.Maplins sell a thing that holds a lighter and acts as a nozzle for it.
They've got piezo ignition and you can cut a beer can in half with one... -

flimsy.I've got a Turboflame <http://www.turbolighters.com/>, advertised for
5.95Not as good as one might hope. Tried to use one on bonfire
night. Windproof, yes, but damp just doesn't agree with it. Probably
shorts out the piezo spark. I'd go for the Turboflame, rather than the
Lidl no-name one. At least it *feels* like a decent, well engineered
bit of kit.--

No, these were just cheap ones at the checkout. Not the turbo powered ones
I ws thinking of, such as the 4.9 ones.
Thanks for the information, saved me a few pennies there.
