What Is a Utility Lighter?

Having a utility Lighter can make camping a lot more fun. It's a great way to light up the barbecue, or even a gas stove. The utility lighter is a small, thin tube, with a soft touch finish. The nozzle is rounded for easier use of appliances, and it comes with a built in hanger for convenient storage.

The utility lights of old were typically a bit more compact, but have since evolved into longer, more elaborate versions. Typically, a utility Lighter will include a fuel supply container and an electric ignitor assembly. The nozzle and fuel supply container may be made from the same material or may be made from two separate materials.
The nozzle may be shaped like a flame. A slit or opening 66 in the conductive shell 51 is the conduit for the flaming fuel supply container. The nozzle is also aided by a cap 70, which insulates at least a portion of the nozzle.

The best multi-purpose lighter should be able to light a variety of appliances, including candles, cigarettes, and gas stoves. It should also be aesthetically pleasing, so that a user won't be tempted to store the lighter in an un-opairable position.

The best multi-purpose lighter also has a good shut-off mechanism. These mechanisms will keep the lighter from operating while the user is not in the mood. Using a light with a shut-off mechanism will also prevent young children from using the lighter.
