View Full Version : Aldi zippo-clone
Aldi (or is it Lidl?!) are selling a xippo clone. This comes with 6 spare flints and a can of fuel - for £4.95. What I found interesting was just how well-made this lighter is - the body/casing must be twice as thick as a genuine Zippo, and is nicely rounded to avoid catching on clothing. Even though I'm a fan of IMCOs over Zippos, I think that this is really good value - the fuel and flints are nearly worth the asking price alone!

I bought one last thursday,very impressed.As mentioned comes with 6 spare flints and a can of fuel.Only adjustment I did was to pull the wick up a little bit to give a bigger flame.Looks like the offers finished but Saltash Lidls had loads in as did Plymouth.
Definintely Lidl, I picked one up. Nice bit of kit!

The case is quite thick, making the inside a lot smaller than a standard zippo - i guess that means less fuel to evaporate away!
