Zippo : Broken From Frickin' Trickin' 

Zippo should really think about a way to make a zippo that is designed for tricks with a stupid strong hinge, and grippy stuff on it or something.

Zippo is probably the best company in terms of customer service. I live in France (french riviera) and i own a bunch of zippos, i collect them. I've already broken two (hinge problems usually) and although i buy most of my zippos from amazon (best way to get them, since there are no official Zippo shops in France), every time i've sent them back, and, after like two months, they've fixed it free, no questions asked. Great stuff. Apreciate the vid Jeff :)

My favorite lighter was my World Peace Zippo. I loved that lighter so much. Someone stole it after only a month of having it. Guy tossed it too and I never saw it again. Broke my heart. So I stole his old Jet Black Zippo 😉

they should make trick lighters

I have a 1992 regular zippo that used to be my dads. He did so many tricks that the hinge pin broke. He just stuck in a paper clip and cut off the rest. Now it flips all the way and rests against the body so now you don't have to worry about the hinge breaking. Its been this way for the last 15 years and it works perfect for tricks. I recently bought a 1972 zippo slim and I love it. Its still made just like the new ones but it just feels vintage some how.

If you take care of your Zippo, the Zippo will take care of you. Such a shame humans aren't the same.

BRB GONNA BUY THAT 18K GOLD ZIPPO AND DO TRICKS

It's a common misconception that it's the pin that gets bent that causes the lid to be loose or skew to one side. Its actually the knuckles(the loops that go around the pin). They widen open or loosen.

3 words: Unlimited Lifetime Warrantee.

Zippo - best lighter ever, and love the lifetime warranty, that's why I own over 70.

I never really thought about the consequences of doing zippo tricks. You talked me into taking batter care of my zippos

it happens pretty quickly with regular use too if youre a smoker. alls you have to do is drop it once on the right spot and the lid will mis align. Then you have to bend it back and I feel like that weakens the hinge. hate doing it. Good thing for the guarantee tho!

I keep my 50 dollar steampunk zippo in the wrapper and box still but have many i fidget with and do neat tricks but if i ever broke the hinge ill just mail it off such great customer service

i got a free zippo because i found it in my grandfathers tire shop

This is why I use a 1941 replica with a 4 barrel hinge. The fact the cap can hit the side of the body with no resistance makes it the best for tricks. I recommend them!

Yup - living in piddly-squat Bradford DOES have its perks when it comes to Zippos and Case knives :D

I LOVE THAT ZIPPO! the black matte with red borders is my favorite zippo of all time! is simple, is cool, is cheap and is the first zippo i've ever got! whats your favorite zippo now in days?

My favorite is the slimline chrome with the Mack Trucks logo.Second is the brushed chrome with just the the Bulldogg and Mack emblem.

U just saved my $100 zippos life. He thanks u

So glad you made 7:17 minute video about one sentence, really appreciate the stuff you do! True legend, I now know that zippo will break if Iuse it for tricks. Also thanks for mentioning that zippo will break if used for tricking, really broadened my understanding of zippo breaking when doing tricks with it. However one part is still a bit unclear, can zippo break if I just use it to flip open often or am I putting it at risk of breaking?

He's talking about it likes it's animal abuse 😂

I have my Zippo 2 weeks now but I never would do tricks with it.

And this is what is so fantastic about the warranty.

Its probably been previously mentioned in the comments of this video, but I think what people mean by "which Zippo is the best for tricks" is what is the best textured Zippo for tricks. Like satin or matte painted or smooth polished Zippos etc. :)

love my zippo. Its my 1st one and its amazing.I dropped it hard 3 times in a week and still works

I love my two Genuine ZIppos so when I am doing tricks I use my Star Windproof and keep the one Zippo just on display in my room and the other I carry.

Hey look it's my zippo xD The bullet hole one

dude that dragon one is nice

Zippo is less than 200 miles from me I get my Zippos back in less than a week

That matte black red border Zippo was the first one I ever bought!😁

Good luck with the new job Jeff.

Ahhh I cant believe I gave away my beverly hills cop zippo... I miss it now...

it will easily "Pwap aff"

Black crackle is best in my opinion. Has good texture and grip! Lasted me 8 years until I lost it.

Wow, I dig that "milk jug" target zippo. I'd like to find one of those.

Good luck with the job Jeff. Hopefully you'll get a car soon.

new job? wow ur a busy guy! Good Luck! and hope the dental problem is clearing up for you! =)

I find that the best zippos for doing tricks are the brass ones whose plating have faded away a bit, they give much better grip

Hey what is the model number on that gun range target zippo? It's so nice.

I'm going to try and send my Zippo to Bradpord PA.

I'd prefer buying a fake Zippo for tricks. They're around 3-5$ each. And you won't cry when you break it

what is that gold dragon zippo's?!?! I want that!!!!

it sounds like an awesome zippo, i like the zippos with emblems but i have never heard of the one you have!

Loving the new zippo stuff!

The same reason he has cigars, it's the whole collecting aspect of it. I don't smoke, but I have upwards of 20 Zippos and a ton of cigar lighters.

just send it in lifetime warranty

My favourite Zippo is my modified brushed chrome and I really like my 1941 Replica

braking a zippo on purpose is not covered anymore, they wont fix it. I bought my new zippo yesterday and it's written on the manual.

Broke my slim from doing tricks, sent it in for the warranty and got a new one with the tightest hinge that I have ever seen. Seriously, the thing can hardly open.

Bics are more reliable. Zippos come broken or out of line new. Sometimes the sticker can mess them up if taken of to hard. I still love them.

Sent one Zippo in repair like 10 weeks ago bc the spring in the chimney broke, got it back and literally the same day the Cap flew off bc I did Zippo tricks with it

love that knife art one hmm gonna see if they have those for sale..

Do you have a spare Zippo?

i am in love with that camo zippo

Just got my first Zippo. Heard people don't like the smell of them. I love it

my name is bradford so its cool seeing my name all over my zippo lol

Whoa whoa whoa! Those are my initials too.

I had that black and red zippo. I miss it

Omg where you bought that dragon zippo and how much did it cost?

i have a zippo with my name on it

I wish you could sent me zippo lighter because I cant afford one

Dude. I'd pay a hundred dollars for a Zippo signed by Jeff >.

Life time warranty....

love your video like always

Been done before. They happily fix it and send it back.

Does the lifetime guarantee apply to every zippo? I only ask as I'm from Scotland and sending it to Bradford would be a long way away 😂

Even a Ronson made Zippo design is going to be a massive letdown.

I don’t do tricks I just flick it open and that’s it

I would just buy the ten dollar Zippo from Wal-Mart for a "trick" Zippo instead of damaging the nicer ones

I love the Black with the red on it :D

They should make a zippo meant for tricks like a thicker and stronger hinge

I would only ever do trips with the plain street/satin/chrome zippo. cheapest kind and nothing special about them so its no problem if its broken

If you Google Mack Zippo it will show a few variations.

your not alone

They should beef up those hinges

i want to say he has, its a really old vid, might be wrong though.

Can someone point me in the right direction for that dragon zippo? It's not on the website and that thing is sick looking, thanks.

you can actually fix the pin with a paper clip(or so I have heard)

Does anybody know what model number the zippo with the human silhouette target is? I have never seen that one before.

Another brick in the wall (part II) - Pink Floyd.

I broke my zippo hinge only a couple of hour ago... Now I have to be without it for as long as shipping takes to and from Australia. :(

Where can I get one of the Zippos with the dragon on it?

ERMAHGAWD. IT'S GENIUS.

I have no idea how mine has survived the torture all this time, it's stayed like new. Knock on wood.

ok, and whats the best?

how do u send a broken zippo in do u just send it to the factory

can someone explain to me why there is copper wire in the zippo cord ... does it have any function?😱😱

japanese replica is overfilled, the flame is all over the place

Are you going to be doing a review if the armor?

link to unboxing of the gold zippo?

i have a soccer zippo and every day i do tricks nothing happened

why can't I hear Gus snoring?

Good luck jeff.

i found a zippo with J.S. at my local flea market lol it looked exactly the same as yours

My zippo was already bent to one side when I got mine.

hey jeff could you do a video or just message me back, so since christmas is coming up one of the things im asking for is a nice balisong, I want to make it easy for my parents to order the knife and went looking for a place to order a benchmade 42, found it very difficult trying to sort out the fakes and then trying to find a legit site, could you tell me/us where the best place to buy high quality balisongs is and what a good second choice to the 42 would be, thanks in advance

im only a hop away from Bradford. lol

you can get basic zippos for about $15 online.

"Even if you break it on purpose..." Who the fuck would do such a terrible thing?

Really, just using a Zippo will eventually break it (even if it takes decades or centuries). Anything with moving parts will fail, just a matter of time.
