Zippo Windproof Lighter
by Zippo
Refillable windproof pocket lighter with a hinged steel case, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932.
Why it's buy-it-for-life
Every mechanical part is covered by Zippo's lifetime 'it works or we fix it free' guarantee, and the design has barely changed in 90 years so parts are universal. Redditors send in decades-old lighters for free repair and get them back working; consumables like flints and wicks are cheap and user-replaceable.
