I was fishing on the pier, when my lighter slipped out of my hand, over the rails, and into the ocean. I was heartbroken, as it had been a gift from my husband. Later that night, I pulled up a crab trap to retrieve my catch, and guess what was in the claws of one of the crabs? My lighter! I opened it and it fired right up. Your product is truly what it says it is. It works every time. Unfortunately, I loaned the lighter to someone at a party and never retrieved it back.
