Ugly Betty

So after seeing a post earlier about Ronson lighters, I gave a little thought to what is my most trusted lighter?

Well fellas, here she is, Ugly Betty...

"Betty" as I call her, is my longest lasting, most reliable lighter. A pocket lighter for the last year now, most of the finish is gone, even the top of the button came off, but she still lights, the first time, everytime... (as long as there is fuel)

I vastly over paid, 15.99 for this Jetline triple torch, I know others have had them die before, but this one was made right...

I don't know if I'll pay 15.99 for another lighter again, but if I do I will rate and compare it verse this one...

That's a hell of a trooper right there. Ohhh the stories it could tell.

I have a "betty" as well......I really like her Punch, as a lighter she's meh at best, but she was the 1st lighter I bought.

I typically prefer function over form, so I enjoy seeing some of these less attractive pieces being peoples go to.
