Zippo Lighter Gun

This isn’t an official Zippo-issued lighter (because I doubt it would be legal to do so) but it’s way cooler than any other standard-issue they’ve released thus far.

Looftlighter: Flame on Without a Flame on

Instead of fire, or even sparks, the Looftlighter uses hot air – hot as in more than 1000°F – to light things up. The Looftlighter is named after its inventor, Richard Lighter. No wait: his real name is Richard Looft, a (former?) theater director who got tired of having his barbecued…

Spycam Classic Lighter Camera: Flick Some Pics With Your Bic

Spycam Classic Lighter Camera

Is that a lighter in your hand? Nope it’s a spy cam! This camera was built to camouflage like a classic BIC lighter, so it’s next to impossible for a person to realize its a camera. I can’t imagine all the shenanigans I would be able to catch with one of these in…

Start a Fire With Style – Pac-Man Style

pac-man lighter zippo

If you have to have a lighter, it might as well be a Zippo… and if you have to have a Zippo, it might as well have Pac-Man on it. This is logic, people, born of science…. Don’t try to dispute it.
