Lol, this reminds me of my packing tool. I found this metal, cylinder shaped peg. One end has a wider diameter than the other. Use it for packing pipes. I've own a bunch of different sized pipes. One of the two ends always fits perfectly in the end piece. It really is perfect for packing down material. Think it was originally part of a car door. You know the old school cars had those pop up metal pegs that locked the door? I think it's the top of one of those that got snapped off lol.
@@michaelschneider8477 if u do find them u have to snip off the sides and file down the cuts so they aren’t sharp. It’s just a tad wider than the insert.
Great tip, wonder if there's any similar tool by itself separate from the survival paracord bracelet. Another question, do you know of any thicker inserts? For comparison, an insert about as thick as the chimney on the Zorro metal chimney cap insert (the one with the metal bottom and lattice-patterned sides, not the one with the rubber gasket bottom & Zorro etch.) Preferably just like a plain insert but with a thicker chimney and metal bottom. I wanted to find an insert that better suits the thickness of armor cases like the Zorro 912/912S.
Sure, however, capacity is more or less a subjective issue that becomes even less concerning if you just have a spare ready to go. If you don't know of sturdier frame inserts, though, I understand.@@Zippofanatic77outdoors
been looking but i guess you have not made the video about it yet or what not but i remember hearing you talk about convertig the zippo single jet insert to a soft flame that is adjustabule
U gotta repack it the proper way. I have a video on it. Then u gotta use the sandwich bag trick and I should carry it in pouch on your belt not in your pocket.
Hey man, I watched your Zippo for beginners and that same week I bought my first Zippo Slim! But I have issue with it, I re-fueled it at night and the next morning when I’m trying to use it it just went blank no flame whatsoever. And this has been occurring for the past 3 weeks. I’ve used the paper bag trick and did not work and taping it on the side still doesn’t work and I tried those white strip for pipes and that did not work because it absorbed the excess fuel. Any additional advice for my zSlim? Because I’m very lost right now
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors So I should spread the cotton and then gently put it into the insert, correct? Also how long do you reckon a Slim would last compared to a regular
Just a fun little one off video. For anybody who need a little multi tool in the zippo.
Ok that is actually pretty clever. Expert level tinkering my friend
Hahaha thanks Doug ! I Didnt want to throw them in the garbage. Thought it would be a fun video

Lol, I figured you got it from that snapper, because I also got one. It comes as a very cheap "survival" watch that has a paracord as the strap.
Haha looks like your ready to make one
My man really is the MacGyver for Zippos
Lmao u know it brother
That video was really cool and it’s cool how that thing can make sparks, nice video 🐐
Thanks Chris !
That's pretty cool, fits perfectly
I had to cut it to fit but yeah man sweet little tool
Zippo just realeased a toolbit insert for zippo
Yeah I know. Pretty useless also. Novelty item at best
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors yes lol
Yeah you can carry a razor blade in with the wick also.
I'm gonna hafta pick that up
Lol yeah keep an eye out when your at the dollar store

Thicker insert means less fluid

love looking at new tools
Lol nice. U gonna make one for your zip ?
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors na i like to keep it simple haha dont wany to fluff around with little bits of metal every time i want to full my zippo
@@ventressnz7839 lmao I hear ya girl !
been looking but i guess you have not made the video about it yet or what not but i remember hearing you talk about convertig the zippo single jet insert to a soft flame that is adjustabule
Hey buds no sorry have not yet.
@Zippofanatic77outdoors wellt that makes sence now i was wondering why i could not find it lmfao
haha, why did nobody think of this? this whole time I was destroying my cases, and fingernails to get that flint changed.
Haha I don’t know. I guess people just aren’t thinking as hard as me. All the best mods and hacks out there come from yours truly.
Did you see the screw driver insert is out
Yeah I did buds. Not much use for it for me personally but a cool novelty item that’s for sure
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors same here
Brilliant!
Liked,watching and connected
Hi i wanted to ask if it is possible to sharpen the tool on my own with a dimond file
👍🏼brilliant!👍🏼😃
Thanks !
That looks like what you find inside an electric shaver
Yeah little bit eh
Great idea.. new to the channel.. would you happen to know if zippo has ever made a hank Williams zippo... really like the evil dead.
I’m not honestly sure about the hank zippo. They might have but I don’t know.
Dude, that's genius. I'm about to go to the dollar store today lol.
Haha that’s awesome ! Yeah I was sitting around wondering what the hell I was gonna do with these things.
How do you prevent the lighter fuel to evaporate in less than five days once the zippo lighter is filled? Thank you very much.
U gotta repack it the proper way. I have a video on it. Then u gotta use the sandwich bag trick and I should carry it in pouch on your belt not in your pocket.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Thanks!
Send me 1 i live in New York Queens
Haha send me 10$ I live in Sault Ste. Marie Canada
Are these included with the pouches lol
Lol I actually made this video a while ago I don’t have any left. I gotta surprise for u though don’t u worry
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors did you get your card yet?
@@57HEMIviken no bro. Be here next week I’m sure

Sounds like u repacked your insert way to tight. Choked off the fuel near the chimney. Bag trick won’t help that lol. Loosen it up repack it
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors So I should spread the cotton and then gently put it into the insert, correct?
Also how long do you reckon a Slim would last compared to a regular
@@ciuwandy9238 not sure buds I don’t actually use the slim.
@@Zippofanatic77outdoors Ah okay. I just re-packed my Zippo and I’ll update you in a few days. Thanks!
@@ciuwandy9238 k buds sweet !
