Good
It’s a pretty cool stuff. Small, rechargeable, convenient and foldable. It’s a lot better than that I bought at Walmart. Good stuff.

Awesome Tool, But Not Durable
==Oct 7, 2019==I've been through all sorts of sparkers and piezo's and long-necked lighters to light the burners on my gas stove. This one was hands-down my favorite! The most dependable and the least temperamental. I learned pretty quickly not to fidget with it in my hands while I'm talking to people-- ouch! :)==edit 12/11/19==However, I've dropped it once-- and instead of unfolding to a nice 180* straight-line shape like it did when it was new, it now flexes further backwards. So instead of always being at the correct angle when you open it up, its physical stopping point is now a more unnatural angle, and the internal hinge feels kind of loose and sloppy. Not really a problem, but I'm a bit anxious as to what will happen to it when I drop it a second time... :)I'd highly recommend it, but be more careful with it than I was. And don't fidget.==edit 12/19/19==I used it this morning for my stovetop, but couldn't get it to light again afterwards. So I put it on the charger, but it wouldn't charge reliably. If I was lucky, I could get it to try to charge for a few seconds, but then the blue indicator light would turn off, showing it was no longer getting electricity. I tried a few different cables, and the charging port in the lighter seemed normal, but it just wasn't recharging.When DH came home, I mentioned it to him. He disassembled it to see if a wire had a short in it, or if something was loose. He was able to fix the problem, but wasn't able to get it reassembled correctly-- the little internal switch wasn't catching, and sometimes jammed stuck. And then it broke. Oh, well, it was worth a try--- the return window had closed on Nov. 5th, and we had definitely voided anything with our attempt at self-repair. :)I'm purchasing a replacement, because these USB-rechargeable arc lighters are awesome. But I'm trying another make/model, in the hopes of finding one that will last more than a few months, or one charge cycle.

Useful tool
I chose this model because it folds. I mostly wanted it for the wood stove, but I was able to stick it in my pocket and take it outside to light my propane weed burner and to start a burn pile. A non folding model would not likely fit in my pocket as easily as this one, so this makes it useful for the yard as well as inside the house. I haven't used it a whole lot to know how it will hold up after a lot of use, but the battery life was great for the times I used it over a period of several weeks. I didn't even need to charge it.

A great product - a slight noise
I am a waitress at a fine dining Italian restaurant, but for the life of me I can't use regular mini lighters for birthday or table candles. I bought this one, and I am never going back! Due to its electric nature, it needs no refills and can go 2-3 weeks without a charge with daily use. Even if you zapped yourself accidently, it feels like a dog collar shock and is not painful or leaving any marks. It makes a quiet crackling electric noise that irritated some people, but not others (not me). I will admit, it can look intimidating - if someone tried to attack me while walking home at night, turning this on would probably scare them a bit. It folds up easily and fit snuggly in my pocket, and it was so efficient the busers would often borrow it to light the whole restaurant quicker. One thing to note is the little plastic clip cover broke off on mine, but it doesn't effect the performance at all. Overall, a great product if your ears aren't sensitive and you struggle to use regular gas station lighters.

Love the idea, but...
This worked great for about 6 weeks now. I was going to purchase several for Christmas gifts, but unfortunately it just quit working after using maybe 20 times over the last 6 weeks. Great idea, as I was looking for a product that wasn't disposable (yes, I'm a tree hugger), and would way prefer something like this as opposed to a disposable Bic lighter. But as it turned out, a Bic lighter would have lasted longer. I gave 5 stars in order to give the company a chance to make this good. This may have just been a defective product. I'll update my review accordingly.

Great for candles only!
It is great to light candles, not for cigarettes nor BBQ pits. It's hard to stick a cigarette through the poles, unless it is a very slim cigarettes. With candles, light touch the wick and it lit right up! BBQ, it has to be very close to the gas nozzle, or you have to let gas really build up, hoping it would not also lit up your eye brows nor hair! Battery life are a couple weeks on a few uses per day.

I'll never run out of matches or lighters
Those hand held butane lighters are much too difficult for me to use now with rheumatoid arthritis. This is simpler and bonus, you recharge it so you don't have to buy anything.

Just might buy a third one. This thing is AWESOME!
Liked it so much that I bought a second one. Never have to buy another candle lighter. Not having to worry about running out of gas is awesome! Instead, I just recharge this thing. Wife stole the original one from my man cave to place in the living room. Has a SUPER high pitched ringing sound that my nieces and wife complain about. I’m a musician. My ears are probably not as good as theirs. I don’t hear a thing. Works freaking great. Sometimes I even use it to cut twine!!!
