Forney Industries Inc 86103 Oxy-acetylene Flint Lighter

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 86103 is a three-flint oxy-acetylene striker lighter designed for igniting oxy-fuel torches in welding, cutting, and brazing applications. Each unit uses a replaceable flint mechanism to generate the spark needed to light an oxy-acetylene or similar oxy-fuel torch tip safely without the use of open flame or matches. The lighter is a standard hand-operated tool familiar to welders and pipefitters working in fabrication shops, field pipe work, and maintenance environments. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it suitable for stocking a shop supply or replenishing a crew kit.

This flint striker is appropriate for use in residential and commercial welding and cutting setups wherever oxy-acetylene or oxy-fuel equipment is in service. Pipefitters, welders, HVAC brazing technicians, and plumbers who work with torch equipment rely on this type of striker as a basic consumable safety tool. The 25-unit pack is commonly used by shop supervisors stocking toolboxes or safety stations across a facility.
