Dont forget to leave a like ! Zippo repair shop rocks !!

Hats off to Zippo for great customer relations and lifetime warranty! I wish I was living in US so I could buy directly from them (:

That '92 orange Camel is my holy grail. Been wanting to get one for years, and 3 days ago I finally got it! Mint condition, never used. The flint had completely fused to the wheel, took a good 30 minutes to get it out. Such a good looking lighter.

So happy and glad that my stupid Bi-Polar switched and I have been active and motivated the last 2 days. Brother oh my Brother! I just found your page at 4 o'clock in the AM and I love the video and commentary you created and shared! You've motivated me and I appreciate you with a smile on my face. In a small box, with a printed word document listing each zippo and problem, I have had 7 zippos I love, that, for over 15 years, in need of repairs, have been in my closet, that I inteneded to send to PA for repair(s), I never did. I just opened the box for the first time. I don not know how to date the older ones i have. From the good old camel cash days, I have Camel 8 Ball that came with a tin package (ash tray). Just has a "X" Camel Pewter Zippo witha "XIII" that came with a holdr/base My father's zippo he purchased in Hawaii (1955-58?), it has a patent number and "ZIPPO" is different from current ones. My Mom's slim Zippo with same font as above, no year but has "III" the others are nothing special I will send my Dad's zippo on it's own first and look forward to yeah thank you

Sending in zippos for repair tomorrow ! This video really showed the benefit of the repair shop

Yes, the wonderful ladies at Zippo repair shop do a great job!!!

Love your videos man!!! Thanks for teaching us about zippo 🎉

Always glad to see a new vid from u, 🔥 as always

You just made me look at my edc I had repaired last August. It has a Hollow pin in the Hinge. It's STILL Tight!

Cool repairs! Man love that camel Zippo. I use to smoke camels Can’t wait to see the custom work you do to them! Great video brother

Nice info vid man. I think the brass looks sweet as is. it adds character

This video really makes me want to send in a few I've been sitting on the fence about getting repaired. 👍✌️

My wife and I have a serious problem. We love your videos. We have a small collection of 15 zippos and we travel to get them. We even have setup a shelf to show em off at home. Keep up the good work.

I received today my first vintage look brushed brass. Still New in original Box from 2001. Love it.

Great job, heck yeah cheers

Keep that brass one as is. The tarnish on it is awesome. I just got a 41 brass replica and I hope it looks like that one day. I love the 4 barrel hinge on the 41. So now I have 4 zippos. I have the 41 replica in brass and black crackle, a brass armor, and a street chrome. I'm trying to stop buying them but I can't lol. Keep up with the awesome content.

great video ZF, I did a hinge repair with JB Weld some time ago, it maintained all the bling an it still has that ping... Did you have to send these to the U.S. for repairs, or is there a repair depot in Canada

I hear your grief, in my opinion it's "supply and demand" as you said. That would merit the prices on any zippo they are selling. I'm relatively new to having one, I had one when I was 12-13 now35, I have had 6 down to 4 now.

Very helpful video. What was the total turnaround time to get them back to you?

Cool keep it and connected

Very Nice

New subscriber. I have Zippo’s that I’ve had since the early 90’s and I never use them. I have a bunch that the flints turned to dust. How do I clean them out? Do I need to buy all new inserts?

Hey Man I've been watching your videos since 2 weeks suddenly I own 2 zippo lighters casual smokes & and love camping so I bought a zippo fade case classic love it learned a trick or two to impress myself and to justify the purchase. I am want to order a zippo butane insert but it does not come with a case and I don't want to remove my zippo soft flame out of its fade case so will the zippo insert fit inside the regular case ? or does it need a specific case for it to fit in?

How do they determine to fix the hinge with a hollow pin vs solid? Also, can a hinge replacement change the sound of it opening? All of my zippos have sounded different so I'm worried about sending in what had my favorite sound

i also noticed when zippo replaces the hinge its not chamfered. I do wish they would go the extra step to soften the edge of the new hinge

🔥🔥🔥

If you do get a lot of residue left from your sticker, what is the best thing to remove it without harming the Finish? I bought the rose gold colored one with hearts all the way around it for my girlfriend and the orange sticker stuck pretty bad probably because the engraving on the back.

I appreciate it, but i think it's kind of silly the Zippo repair shop sends your old insert back to you when you have it replaced. I don't do this or condone it, but someone could totally send the same one back over and over again and scam them.

Hey, I've been really enjoying the videos as ive recently gotten into collecting lighters. I noticed you have a G 2000 zippo which is my birthday zippo. Any chance you are looking to sell it?

I mean the packaging is very disappointing, but then the make up for it big time with the repairs and inserts 😁

Didn’t you send in a Marlboro one and one other one in as well with these

My brass armor rings like a bell but my silver armor rings like money

You could argue that if Zippo have to remove some of the finish to fix a broken hinge it adds character to the lighter especially if is a used one that show signs of wear and tear overtime over one that is kept untouchable in a display rack or cabinet

I still haven't sent anything in to get repaired.

Hello, I saw a Zippo stamped with I Zippo II. I cannot find that on the year production chart. It looks like an 1986 model but with an I before the logo. It's a rarity or a fake?

I work rma at my work place and when we have to send back loose small items, we just put them in individual crack bags. Dont knoe if fumes might be a acare here, but can still just wrap in some craft paper.

Do they charge to replace hinges or how does that work?

Ever figured out a way to resolder a flint tube that just spins, by any chance? Got one drying out on the shelf awaiting some idea, as with that fint wheel in place, AND with so small a workspace available from the inside...I KNOW it's not gonna be easy. d=^/

6:11 I’ve seen many videos of the 41 and it opens all the way. But mine doesn’t.. weird

Cant agree more with you about the packaging. I sent in 5 zippos for repair, 2 they didnt do shit about, a brand new 35 replica with a seriously crooked hinge which didnt close straight. They did nothing to that one. The other was a brand new armor zippo which had a significant gap they didnt look at at all. The other three they did fix. Anyway, i had wrapped all of these in bubble wrap in a corrugated carton box. When they sent it back to me after almost 2 months, they didnt reuse any of it, only threw them all into a bubble envelope and called it good. I was smart enough to ship the brand new ones in their boxes, so they did put them back in those at least, so no uncalled for scratches on those, but i mean you had all the packing material to just reuse and you dont? This was done by zippo denmark's repair shop...

so when you send lighters without the insert, they send back with a free insert?

I got a 1994 camel zippo on eBay and it’s been used but it’s still in pretty good condition it’s just the back has a couple of scratches and I’m just wondering is there a way I can get them out? They aren’t to deep

How did they repair that black marlboro case that got ran over?

I made that mistake i send my Zippo with insert to fix, and it was replaced. I just thought they need it to be there, spark wheel was worn out.

How does the repair process work?

I used a q tip with olive oil

Send your zippo in with a note that has the question “do you have any advice on how to make my zippo work better with pipe smoking?” And they will send it with a pipe insert guaranteed out of pity

Its about time haha!

I sent two Zippos in for repair. Wrapped them very nicely and packaged so there is no movement. Seeing the way you received yours back I'm very curious now how mine will be returned. One of mine had the hinge completely broken in two so I sent the insert as well. I stated that I sent the insert to aid in case alignment or whatever and to please send insert back. We'll see I guess.

Do they give you another two year guarantee?

I live in the Republic of Ireland, and our state postal agency ('An Post') will not handle lighters, whether new or used, full or empty. It's not a customs 'thing', it's their own safety regulations... I can understand the thinking, but without fuel?! I mean, what'll be next? A proscription on pieces of stick, in case they rub together en route?! They take it pretty damn seriously too! 6 times over the years I've tried getting lighters sent to Irish addresses from abroad via the 'regular' mails, whether sending them myself or having them sent _to_ me, 6 times for 6 no~shows. One can't rule out pilferage, of course, but _every single time?!_ I'd have to be the unluckiest man in Ireland! Probably the most annoying thing is they don't even seem to put in one of those "We've been rooting in your stuff" inserts! (In contrast to their procedure when they intercept your arthritis medication!) You're most probably going to be OK if you're just posting lighters within the Republic, and probably - _probably_ - within Ireland as a whole, though with Brexit 'n all, I'd be somewhat loath to take the chance! I should say, too, each of these examples were all _after_ the EU got all integrated 'n everything, so customs declarations, and twee, creative workarounds like 'bric~à~brac', 'forwarding personal effects', etc, didn't even come into it! My point being, of course, that Zippo's no quibble free repair policy is absolutely great 'n all, but it's worth damn~all to you if you're beautiful collectable, with dragons _rampant_ and everything, winds up getting lost in the pond! All I can suggest (as a modest collector who's preferred make isn't _even_ Zippo) is to either use a courier such as DPD, DHL or the like, make enquiries with a reputable jeweller or tobacconist regarding how _they_ get around the problem, or just have the thing repaired domestically... which is a lot dearer than _free,_ any day of the week, and may invalidate the warranty as well, but those concerns are somewhat moot if some 'An Post' employee is going around lighting their smokes with your lighter, or, worse in my opinion, if it's been consigned to the crusher! Obviously my particular concern is solely with Ireland, but I can scarcely imagine that our Post Office is some quirky outlier in this regard, as a matter of fact I'm almost certain that the Royal Mail, or whatever they're calling themselves these days, have rules that are almost identical...

How do you strip chrome off the zippo so it’s down to brass.

Perhaps.... if you save your new zippo original box and send to repair with a note to please return in box?????

Had the exact same lighter as your Dads. Got it the PX in Ft Jackson NC during basic training probably 1987. Lost it in a taxi cab in Munich Germany, drunk as duck after visiting a whorehouse. 🤣🤣 Those we’re good days.
