I recently tested the Retro Flashlight Kerosene Lighter to see if it could actually replace two separate pieces of gear in my pack. This compact tool blends a classic lighting element with a modern flashlight to simplify your outdoor loadout.
Constructed from a sturdy aluminum alloy, the body feels surprisingly robust despite its slender, extended design. The mirror finish is a nice touch that keeps it looking sharp, though it is clearly designed to withstand the typical scrapes of a trail environment.
Using the device is fairly intuitive, as the extended handle provides a comfortable grip that makes igniting the kerosene flame feel stable. Switching between the flashlight and the lighter feels natural once you get used to the unique form factor.
This is an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts who prefer retro-styled equipment that keeps their packs light and organized.
Overall, I found this to be a reliable and stylish addition to my camping kit, earning a solid 4.38 rating. At a price point of $29.00, it manages to justify its place in your gear bag by doing double duty.
