When Im on a mountain and I have to do an emergency repair on my snowboard base, I use my Turbo flame lighter. Unlike conventional windproof lighters, its a clean flame so you dont get carbon deposits in the P-Tex and the flame works at any angle, so it makes it perfect for the job.

My Turbostick was an essential part of my outdoor kit; sadly it got lost on an expedition earlier this year. It lit hexamine in only a second or so, far more reliably than army issue matches. It frequently got borrowed on exercise and I often had a struggle to get it back. It was very useful at firework displays for lighting portfires; when you have an audience of a thousand or two you don\'t want to struggle with matches!At home it lit wood fires, barbecues not to mention candles and larger blowtorches. It was also very handy for small scale sodering. As soon as I can find a stockist I\'ll buy another!

I love the turbo flame. If someone needs to light up a fag out comes the turbo flame and it also works on other stuff. I love flicking the lid up and down it looks so cool.
