Clipper

Clipper flint lighter

Clipper is the brand name of the refillable butane lighter designed by Enric Sardà and owned by Flamagas S.A. since 1959.

Considered as the world's second largest lighter brand, Clipper’s history, originates from the 1970s from Spain. The lighter’s popularity is due to their simple and reliable operation, high quality, favorable prices and, last but not least, their endlessly wide range of colors and shapes.

The Clipper brand

The first product of the brand owned by the Spanish Flamagas was released in 1971, and the following year mass production of the Clipper Classic, the world's first refillable lighter, began.

Although the lighter seems like an infinitely simple thing, Clipper's success is no accident. The secret lies in its simplicity. One of the world's largest lighter manufacturing companies recognized the market needs very well and was ahead of competing brands at several points.

Clipper lighter and the price/value

You might think that reliability is a basic requirement, but probably everyone has had to deal with a number of useless, crappy lighters that end up in the trash in no time. Clipper became a favorite of many in a short time, not because of its low price, but because of its good quality and reliable operation, and its cost was paid off at the first refill - this price/value concept was considered unique in the early 70s.

With Clipper they made sure…

The flint responsible for the ignition and spark, as well as the mechanics which include the flint, designed for 3000 uses, can be completely replaced.

In addition, due to its shape, it is perfectly suitable for compacting tobacco. Clipper is extremely popular among those who prefer hand-rolled cigarettes.

You can use it for longer than usual between two refills, because the Clipper Classic contains double the amount of gas compared to the average lighters of a similar size.

Security features at Clipper

The manufacturer did not forget about safety either: the pressure of butane gas in Clipper lighters is lower than average, and the housing is made of impact-resistant polycarbonate. The length of the flame is determined and tested for each piece, so it cannot happen that the tongue of flame that precipitates during the first use burns the user's hair.

The brand puts a lot of emphasis on the promotion of refillibility, which is obviously not the last aspect to environmental protection point of view.

An endless choice of colors and patterns with Clipper, just like with Matteo and Adamo lighter brands

In addition to all these advantages, the brand's greatest strength is the endlessly wide selection of colors and patterns.

Each Clipper lighter is a gourmet collector's item - the design collections are completely renewed every two months, and previous models are never produced again, so it's worth buying a new one quickly if you come across a model you like. The Clipper Metal series and the Pop Cover series with a hand-sewn, embossed silicone cover enjoy great success.

Due to the limited quantities of the Clipper, its availability is not guaranteed, but Fire Light Kft. tries to satisfy customer needs.
