Anyone familiar with this or similar butane tool? I've effed up a couple valves on some cheaper lighters. Trying to avoid that on the Xikars in the collection.

How hard are people unscrewing or pushing the button to purge it that they're ruining lighters? Sheesh. I just use a screwdriver for glasses. Small, works great. TWIS

Hey! Did I tell you knives were sharp?!?  :P

I don't think breaking it will be something you'll have to worry about on a Xikar. And even if you do, lifetime warranty. Lol

True. Purge isn't the issue... although even using a small screwdriver will foul the soft metal pretty easily. The adjustment on the inner barrel is what I can't find the right size micro-screwdriver for.

G'Morning, Fellas. Hope Chip is hangin' in there... Prayers to ya, brother.
Morning, Steve. Banter dragging a bit this morning.
Chip with priorities, Dean, TexDave YellowStar, Bean and the Mayor all AWOL.
Conference call, 1 hr and counting.  Sheesh

Morning, Bean. Post up the number and pass code and we will liven up the conversation... What are their thoughts on cello on or off?
Well, Dean keeps the cello on.  There's a lot of stuff going around with the Seniors down in Florida.
Haha, gross.
Another case of not asking questions you really don't want answers to.

You twisted my innocent question of Bean's co-workers into a low cost, re-purposed jimmy solution... well played. lol

Gotcha. I have an old kit that has 5 different size screwdrivers. I have no idea where I got it, and it's practically ancient. But it's great to have, for this purpose, which is all I ever use it for. Lol

Put it on mute, type away.
I'm at that point.  They keep bouncing back to me, though, so I have to remember to unmute.
I have faith in your skills to manage that.
Blind faith is the only thing behind that thought.
Yea, and all the good that's done me.
This long-ass call is about another job in central NJ.  You f'kers will never be rid of me at this rate.
You can't say Christie's not sympathetic to hiring slow adults  ;D

Unfortunately, no such luck.
Was reading an article on the extreme pollution facing athletes in this summer's Olympics in Rio.   So I went from fecal contamination in Guanabara Bay to these Hudson Bays... ::)

and the article in case interested  (and interested in loosing your appetite):
