...ugly as sin, tough as hell, and holds a lot of gas.
I really beat up on my stuff, from my truck to my cell phone to my lighter. Plus I always carry a couple lighters when I'm out in the woods. So I wanted to get a lighter that I wouldn't mind abusing and probably losing, but one that would also be fairly reliable.
After shopping around a lot, I decided on the Azen Neo.
So far, I've held it out the truck window doing 30, dropped it from the second story of the house, and tossed it in the sink. Its still working just fine. It has a window where you can monitor your fuel level, and the whole thing is surrounded by a protective rubber exterior.
The best part is that its damn cheap. I got mine for $12.
The only drawbacks are the looks and its a little bulky. It works great for me though because my usual lighter duties involve the occasional cigar, lighting fires, and burning a lot of strings while restringing lacrosse sticks for the teams I coach. It is definitely not the lighter for making a classy statement, but the thing seems indestructible so far...which is more important to me.
