When George Blaisdell bought the patent to the Austrian windproof lighter design,
he was onto an American desire and need that would remain potent in the culture
for decades. The Zippo lighter was windproof, refillable and had an unprecedented
warranty for repairs.
Since 1933, the Zippo lighter has been providing smokers, campers, hikers and
the like and invaluable tool for gaining quick and reliable access to fire. With a flick
of the lid, the Zippo lighter provides a flame in just about any weather, including
extreme wind and freezing temperatures.
Unlike standard lighters, the benefits of the Zippo lighter include constant flame, a refillable lighter fluid compartment, a rust-proof body and an easy to access flame. Many people fiddle for hours with standard lighters - trying to remove the child safety lock or hold down the hot depressor. With the Zippo lighter, one need only to flip the lid and hold the full body of the lighter - adding stability and assuredness to users.
The Zippo lighter also comes with a full-proof lifetime warranty. The Zippo warranty is so reliable, that the company services over 100,000 lighters every year and has produced over 400 million lighters in the 70+ years it's been in operation.

A further benefit of the Zippo lighter is that it's personable. It's a wonderful gift, keepsake
and memento. Most lighters are throw-aways and do not last for more than a few uses.
Investing in a Zippo lighter saves money in the long-run and provides the customer with
a product that they never have to purchase again. Wouldn't it be great if all products
came with that kind of warranty and customer service?!
Many companies also acknowledge the benefits of the Zippo lighter when they choose
to put their corporate logo on them to give away to clients or prospective buyers. The
Zippo lighter is a valuable gift and is perceived as a classic piece of collectable Americana.
