It works great with a good spark. It’s built decent and it easily lights a camp stove. It’s a little shorter than I would like.

Werkt altijd! Je moet hem echter dicht bij de gasbron houden om tot ontsteking te leiden...

What more to say? It works, it's not affected by wind, barely by rain. It's small and easy to pack. I wouldn't call it inexpensive but given the functionality I think it does provide value for the cost.

Marche bien à l’intérieur. Je modifierai mon commentaire quand je l’aurai testé à l’extérieur

I like this better than using a lighter. It's very compact it's safer I'll never get burnt fingers with it and it works better in wind. It's ideal for lighting my camp stove.

For lighting a gas-fueled camp stove, or touching off the weed burner, this is better than a match or a lighter. Small, easy to carry, and reliable in all weather, this little gadget lets you ignite a gas-fueled appliance quickly and consistently. You don't run out, like with matches, and it won't run out of fuel, like a lighter.Great product, price, and service.

Der Piezo Zünder hat bei mir bis jetzt indoor wie Outdoor selbst bei um die 0°C jedes Mal in Verbindung mit einem BRS-3000 Minibrenner funktioniert. Keine Ahnung, warum einige hier damit ihren Brenner nicht starten konnten.Perfekt ist, dass er mit 100g-Kartusche, BRS3000 Brenner und einem kleinen Tuch perfekt in den 650ml Titanbecher passt und damit ein komplettes Koch-Equipment auf engstem Raum platzsparend untergebracht werden kann. Er hat auf Grund seiner Kurzen Bauform meinen Feuerstahl ersetzt, der nicht mit in den Becher passte. Der Feuerstahl hatte zwar gefühlt mehr Funkenenergie, aber die Zielgenauigkeit ist dafür geringer.In einigen wenigen Fällen habe ich mehrmals probieren müssen, aber beim 2-3 Versuch brannte das Feuer.Durch die kurze Bauform ist man aber mit der Hand schon nahe an der Flamme. Es empfiehlt sich hier im richtigen Winkel von der Seite zu zünden, damit man mit der Hand nicht in der Flamme ist.Einen Trangia Spirituskocher haben wir mit dem Piezoanzünder selbst indoor bei Raumtemperatur zum Test nur mit sehr viel Mühe und sehr unzuverlässig starten können. Outdoor war es nahezu überhaupt nicht möglich. Hier hat der Feuerstein sich besser bewährt.Fazit: Super Combi in meinem Ultra Compact Kochset. Mit den 15g auch sehr leicht, temperatur- sowie feuchtigkeitsunabhängig und braucht keinerlei Batterien oder ähnliches.

I really like Optimus products in general. I took this igniter for daily use on the Arizona Trail, and it worked great for 5 weeks. [I appreciate not having burned fingers!]A couple months later it started to fail--and then finally quit. I called Optimus, and they are sending me a replacement no charge. You can't beat customer service like that!Bottom Line: This is a fun little "Sparky" but take another source of ignition as a back up. Check out the "Mini-Bic" if you are hyper weight conscious. The standard Bic lighter is hard to beat for cost and reliability.

This worked OK to light the pilot flame on my wok burner, although it would have been better if it were a little longer. I'd have given it four stars. However, after only three months (about 200 uses) it stopped working. The internal mechanism that strikes the piezo apparent wore out. The button can be depressed, but it no longer clicks or makes a spark. The seller, 21st-Century-Goods, says it is too late to return it and did not offer an exchange. I have purchased a different item and hope to have better results.

This ignitor does what it says. However, beware! This ignitor will not light the MSR Windburner. Buy some matches for it. I'll keep this for my other stove which it works well on.

I've been on several multi-day camping trips with this little igniter and have no complaints; it sparks every time and is just long enough to prevent scorched fingers. It's small enough to store with your canister stove too.I didn't think much of the landyard at first but it has a use: loop around your hand so you can "drop" the igniter once the stove is lit without letting Sparky fall into dirt or snow, leaving your hand free to put your cookwear on the now-lit stove.I will edit my review once I have more long term reliability data but because of Optimus' warranty, you should always be able to get a replacement if the igniter fails.
