Quick breakdown of the different Zippo hinges and models currently available, showing the differences and similarities between each model and my expectations on the durability of each one. Reviews on each model will follow.
So far I like my 3-barreled 1935 replica hinge because I can squeeze down on the barrels or push them closer to the lighter body to tighten without disassembling anything
I just got my Iraq 2003 Zippo lighter back from Zippo for new replacement hinge and the new one they have put on the zippo it sticks out well far like double so not sure what hinge they have stuck on it but definitely not the same hinge as the original.
