The flameless, fuel-free UST TekFire Lighter features a high voltage electric arc for ignition, wind resistance, and easy push-button operation for quick fire starting in breezy conditions. The rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for liquid butane fuel or adjustments for altitude. The TekFire has a 10 second time-out safety feature, a durable spring-loaded wire latch, and wrist lanyard for easy carrying around your wrist. You can use the inner paracord strands of the paracord for sewing thread, sutures, fishing line, first aid, and more.

To recharge the TekFire, simply plug in to any USB port with the included USB cable (an indicator light flashes red while charging and is solid red when fully charged). It weighs 1.9 ounces and measures 3 x 1.5 x 0.8 inches (HxWxD). It’s backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

No idea why. For $18, I could buy 18 cheap lighters and have better…

I like it. The button is a little fickle I like it. The button is a little fickle, but workable. First use I could not get the lighter to work.
