This simple product is a wonderful tool to have if you own a refillable butane lighter. To get the most from your lighter it is important to get the excess air out before refilling. This tool allows you to do that without damaging the fill port and rendering the lighter unusable.
I believe this device is better for bleeding butane lighters than using a small screwdriver or a pen. It's seems to help get the gas and air out better. Would recommend
I suspected that air is the reason I cannot fill my lighters but did not know you can take it out. Then saw this item and indeed it does what it is supposed to
Love it, when you need it it there.
My lighter works great after I used this tool. It helps out a lot. You don't have to worry about breaking things are off in the filler port.

Description
I don't know how many butane lighters that I use to throw away because they stopped working, then one day while at a friends house, I noticed he was sticking something in the bottom of his lighter and some gas came out. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was bleeding the air out. He said if you don't bleed the air out, you can never get the lighter full of fuel again. Well, that was a long long time ago.
For the last decade or so, I have been bleeding all my lighters the same way as everyone else, just sticking a pointy object in the bottom to bleed out the air. Then one day I ruined a very expensive lighter by hitting the bleed port the wrong way. I was always careful after that, but it always stuck in my mind why there wasn't a tool designed to bleed the air of lighters.
I searched and searched and though several companies claim to offer a bleeding tool, their tools are nothing more than fancy picks or awls. Then steps in an engineering buddy that turned my thoughts into a sketch. Then I got to work on my mini lathe and after many prototypes, I hit on one that was easy to make, fully functional and everyone loved.
This tool is designed to fit over the fill valve of your lighter and when pressed down, the air will come up through the tip and exit out of the holes near the handle.
These body is made of 6061 aluminum, the tip is brass and it is anodized Matte Red.
These are 100% made in the USA. Patent pending.
1- 3/8" long
This little device is awesome for bleeding air out of my lighters and a great tool for my cigar lounge
Very useful. No more frostbite.
Excellent craftsmanship! Did exactly what it's supposed to do.
Works as promised.
Works as described. Have revived 8 lighters so far.
