Another Great Product from Zippo

Received my Zippo Hand Warmer just in time for a cold front to come thru. Perfect weather to try it out! I am 59 years old and my circulation is not near as good as it used to be... My hands get cold easily... My son and I went to an outdoor rifle range to do a little rifle zeroing in and plinking. Temperature was in the mid to upper 30's. Before leaving home I filled the supplied little measuring tank with the proper amount of Zippo hand warmer fluid, (fluid purchased separately) then poured the measured amount of fluid into the 12 hr. hand warmer, following the included directions. When we got to the range I fired the hand warmer up and put it in its little bag that came with the hand warmer. This thing works beautifully!!! I kept it in my jacket pocket and between shots would get it out and hold it in my hands. It was truly a blessing to have the Zippo Hand Warmer with me! Soon my son was holding it in his hands when it was my turn to shoot, then pass it back to me when he was shooting. This handwarmer is orange in color. The only drawback I could see is that there is no way to turn it off. It has to run out of fuel and it turns itself off then.I would definitely recommend the zippo hand warmer to anyone spending time outdoors on a cold day. It made our outing on a cold day much more enjoyable!

Last for a very long time, at times, beyond what advertised. Generates heat very well.

beat the winter cold

These Zippo hand warmers work very well. Be sure and follow the directions that come with the warmer exactly as it's easy to fill but can be easily overfilled. Let me repeat: follow the directions that come with your hand warmer. That's important. I overfilled mine the first time and had to let it evaporate some. With that said it worked well. The directions say use Zippo hand warmer fluid. I couldn't find and so I got Zippo lighter fluid and it worked great. I would guess they are one and the same. It's best to let the unit get up to temperature by leaving it UPRIGHT outside of the pouch for a good 5-10 minutes until it gets almost too hot to touch, then put it in the pouch. It'll stay nice & warm from this point forward. I've occasionally had it lit, then set it down flat only to find that it had extinguished itself. I finally figured out that laying it sideways was sending liquid into the catalyst, quenching it. The catalyst works on vapor, not liquid. Fortunately, when you place it in a pocket, without the bag, it is exposed to limited oxygen so it burns at the exact perfect temperature. Still very hot to the touch. But it is also not to hot that you can't hold it in your hand indefinitely. For most of the time you're using this device, it will be inside an article of clothing like a jacket pocket, shirt pocket (this is the winner here) or even glove (kind of bulky but it gets the job done). This keeps it at the perfect temperature. No need to worry about it being too hot or too cold. There is no actual flame, so you can safely place it on a carpet or in your pocket without any risks of open flame. It doesn't even get close to the temperature of an open flame. There is no flame or even embers or sparks, so you can't even light a gas stove with the lit hand warmer, just to tell you how safe it is. Only add as much fuel as you plan to burn - since once it's put in there, it's gone. It either gets burned, or if you remove the cap so it goes out, it will still evaporate. So don't fill it all the way each time unless you plan to use it for a long time. I use them on dog walks in chilly weather and just squirt a little bit so it burns for 20 minutes or so. They can really do away with the need for gloves in cooler outdoor temps

I am a Zippo fan!

I bought my first Zippo lighter about 60 years ago, and I have my dad's Zippo too. These were always a real status symbol in years past, but I admit that I am stumped by this new 17.5 Refillable Hand Warmer. I spent a few hours the morning after I received my Spark Reviewer Sample just finding a store that still carried lighter fluid so that I could fuel the warmer. I didn't have any around since I stopped smoking nearly 20 years ago. I followed the included directions to the letter, then filling my old Zippo I had stored in a desk drawer, I tried to ignite the warmer... after four attempts yesterday and a fifth one this morning, I just can't figure out what I did wrong. The instructions couldn't be clearer. Maybe I got a bad one.
