A friend of mine gave me a Split-Pea Lighter last week. I had never heard of them before and thought I'd share my thoughts.
These things are really really cool. Great for every day carry. They are about the size of .45 acp bullet/cartridge. They work just like Zippo lighters, but the top unscrews and seals tight with a rubber o-ring. Reviews online say that they hold their fuel for up to a year without drying out.
They come in titanium, stainless and brass (mine is stainless) and include extra flints and an extra o-ring. The stainless model is $12 which is pretty reasonable. I bought a bunch of them to give out as stocking stuffers this Christmas. You can get them several different places on-line but here's where I found them the cheapest (with shipping). I'm not a smoker so the small one works great for me. They make a little bit larger sized one as well, but to me the size is what makes them great for EDC on my key-chain.
