Evening,
Went to Tesco earlier for a few bits and pieces and saw these, thought why not. Didn't expect much but needed a couple for the GHB! Just saw windproof and thought, 'they will do'.
Well, got them home and it turns out they are in fact 'turboflame' style lighters, like a mini blow torch, so ideal for sealing paracord etc. Surprisingly, they are refillable and you get two lighters for £2.50!
Just thought they might be handy for someone, I'm pretty chuffed with them and will be getting some more!
Couple of pictures, because we all love pictures!

No problem! I'm a bit of a bargain hunter so you can expect a few more threads from me!
For the record I have no affiliation with Tesco

Good catch.
Refillable is great, I no longer buy non-fillables..... If I want something with a limited life I'll buy matches.

My wife bought us all turbo flame lighters, very good mine's shaped like a grenade and all the paint has rubbed off of it, I don't smoke any more but I carry it all the time.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Thanks for the info got a couple today great value
Re: Tesco - Windproof Lighter - Turboflame-esk!
Bought some of these today, ideal opportunity to test them immediately outside the supermarket, it was piddling with rain and windy. First impressions, very good value for two refillable turboflame-like lighters, nice soft rubberised feel to them too. Bargain!
Re: Tesco - Windproof Lighter - Turboflame-esk!
By coincidence I bought a packet of these yesterday and I was impressed. I'm not a smoker so they were for the 'store' but if they're considered as good gear I'll invest in a few more. Cheers for the heads up.

No problem! Glad its helped a few folks, I've had a try at refilling and they are fine! 99p for the gas from the local pound shop! Happy days!
