Switch is way too hard to slide.
By thebigE
I can operate it, but the lady I bought it for cannot. Too much pressure needed to slide the switch and ignite it. That's probably the "child resistant" feature (there is no extra button or switch that must be pushed to use it). Also it ships without fuel.

Very nice lighter at the right price.
By Charles Mccracken
This lighter is well built and didn't give me any problems. As a matter of fact it works every time I pushed the slide forward. If you are an average man the slide will offer a little resistance, but nothing to the extent that the other user's feedback notes. For the price alone and reliability im giving this five stars I ordered this with other items (blu rays) I bought from Amazon and got free shipping. Great Deal!

It should be noted for this review I first decided to buy this lighter after e-mailing Chelsea Watch and they didn't return a simple e-mail asking about their inventory on the Zippo series lighter. Amazon answers "every" e-mail without question and have always been very dependable.

Disappointed
By R. Dansey
The price of shipping was more than the lighter making for a product that looked good but turned out not to be worth the price.
It's very hard to push the slider to cause the ignition. A child-protection device? I suppose but as an adult, I was not amused. It takes several tries to get it to ignite as well. At least my fingers get some excercise so all is not lost. Go for a cheaper item at your local $.99 store.
