NOTE: If you want to light the Zippo hand warmer, a normal lighter is easiest. You will have to be careful when using a blue torch style lighter as these run very hot and can burn up the catalyst if held too close and too long when lighting.

I don't understand how it actually works until watching your video. I saved it to remember when I need one. Thank you.

One thing to be aware of before buying one of these; some people (I'm one of them) are subject to severe skin irritation from exposure to naphtha (lighter fluid). I learned back in the 1970s when these were new that I couldn't carry a fluid type lighter in a pants pocket, and can't put one of these catalytic hand warmers even in a coat pocket; enough vapor comes off to produce a large, red, irritated patch on my skin under the device. Because of this, when I needed hand warmers occasionally, I'd get the ones with a catalytic coating on a charcoal stick; they don't warm as well or ignite as readily as the catalytic naphtha type as in this video, but they don't produce irritation in those sensitive to hydrocarbons (plus, they're cheaper and the fuel is a solid that ignites only with effort).

I love my zippo hand warmer, my antique one is difficult to find the catalyst for. (From my great grandfather) my new one is fantastic, I take it ice fishing or hunting. Put it in the little bag and in the inner pocket of my coat. I’m never with cold hands.
Zippo should make a pair of winter boots with this feature! Can collaborate with Baffin!

Some good tips there.

And I must agree these are by far the best hand warmers I have ever come across easy to fill and last a long time, but knowing what to use for replacing the wick would be helpful.

[FidoHouse]

Just bought one. Was surprised instructions had no suggestions re how to stop. Thank you for showing us how.

[danielkutcher]

Very useful and common sense knowledge.

[uponthemesa]

Absolutely the best video ive seen so far about hand warmers.

[blakecrum]

Today is the first time I’ve ever heard about a zippo hand warmer!! Lmao and you’re video explains far better than a couple others I stumbled across first, I dunno why it’s such a shock to me but i been snowboarding my entire life and never seen one of these, it’s just odd to me 😂

[flitsies]

I also find wearing it around your neck inside your jacket keeps you toasty, so it rests on your chest either between two jackets but not directly on your skin it gets too hot that's how good they are, that's what I do while riding my bike or motorcycle, keeps your chest warm.

[darcyhines]

Its works great now thanks for the pointers

[TerraGlide]

I didn’t know a zippo hand warmer existed. But now I must have one.

[DruFishing]

I just leave my winter gloves on for heat protection, pull the top shield/cover off and use the edge to pop the catalyst off, it falls into the top shield then you can set the bottom seperate from the top holding the catalyst alone to cool.

Once cooled a heavier mil spec poly bag will keep a good amount of the remaining fluid from escaping due to evaporation.

[garganrose]

I'm surprised zippo doesn't mention this on their own website. I work as a lot attendant at Home Depot and I think I'm going to try one of these this winter.

[kcb]

I love mine but I’m surprised no one has seemed to mention they do stink slightly.
Not a deal breaker but sometimes you get an unpleasant odor.

[GeeMannn]

Thanks for the comment on zippos tutorial!

[FokkerAce]

I can't recommend these enough for hunting and cold weather fishing. I light mine before the sun is up and it doesnt stop until it goes down. They work best in low oxygen environments like pockets or inside gloves, unlike disposables. They're also warmer than them too and temperature adjustable by letting it stick out of the pouch or pulling the string tight to control the oxygen.

[LarryCoates]

An other way to extinguish the handwarmer is to place it into an air-tight char, like a canning jar. it is not quite as convienit to lug around, but the one big advantage is that one the oxigen in the jar has been consummed by the handwarmer, it will not dry out any remaining fuel that is in the handwarmer, becasue unlike the plasit bag approach, it is VERY air-tight and thus no place for the fuel to evaporate to.

[guitarlight]

Very helpful thank you. Isn't it funny how Zippo and other hand warmer makers.. "forget" to tell you this about putting it out and saving fuel?

[PrueferAuge]

to solve the storage issue, i got a small keyring fuel canister. a small extra step when i want to use the hand-warmer, to refuel it, but i never have to worry about the fuel evaporating and leaving me with a cold paperweight in the snow. it cant evaporate in an airtight enclosure.(ignoring diffusion, but with the chems at hand, that would take more than a lifetime)

alongside a liquid-fuel lighter, its all on a keyring; so now its a "grab and forget and be warm" solution

[cubking]

Its actually a fire tetrahedron now: fuel, oxygen, heat, and chemical combustion (the new one)
