Not worth the bucks

Bought this on a trip and was pretty excited about it at the time as my other non-waterproof butane lighter had kicked the bucket. It gets a star for being waterproof. However for it's primary purpose of starting a fire I have to say a 10cent Bic does a better job. The first time I filled it, before it was even near full it began to leak. It leaked for 5 minutes or so and wouldn't even ignite. I can get it going now but I need to push the button 10 or more times. Once lit it tends to sputter a bit. I contacted Brunton about the problem and no response. Poor quality, poor customer service. I had the same experience with a Brunton Lantern I bought (was able to successfully return that one). Last Brunton product I will ever buy.
