In todays video I try to fix my broken Zippo lighter. The top came of, so I can't use it anymore. I never attempted a repair like this, but nevertheless I will give it a shot. Let's see how it goes.

I love elegant solutions. I would never have thought to use solder, and using the spring to maintain contact was the cherry on top. I did however use my hot air rework gun to flow some flux core solder onto the lid instead of my iron. You just helped me repair the Zippo my now departed brother gave me. Thank you sir.

Thanks for the kind words. I make these videos, because of people like you. Again, thank you so very much!

24 hour JB WELD works without heat, but I have to say your "spring clamp method is genius! Great job!

The more metal you add the more heat you need because. The extra metal works like a heat sink

this was very very very helpful. Did the fix end up lasting this whole year?

@TheKonsolist 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I use it every day. No problems 😊

I didn't expect the solder to stick to a zippo...

@TheKonsolist Год назад

Me neither. Luckily it did😊

You should use a higher watt solder iron.

@TheKonsolist Год назад

I know.But I have only my feeble electronics iron. I should have preheated it with my heat gun.

What type of solder and flux did you use?

@TheKonsolist 2 месяца назад

I use leaded solder 60/40 and chipquik smd291 flux.

You can use a lil torch lighter for these kind of soldering jobs. Makes it much quicker process 😊

@@TheKonsolist I used to know a plumber that would walk around job sites with a map torch and a 1/2”(12.something mm) diameter stick soldering all of the connections by blasting them with the torch and then sticking the stick on the connection while it was still hot
