Q. Is this push-button gas-supply-and-light, in one button press, easy with one hand? Or do you turn the gas on, and then press the button, requiring two hands for the turning of the supply?
A. Hi Andrew, thanks for your question. In principle this is do-able with one hand – but not particularly easy as the mechanism is fairly stiff – perhaps because its new. Two hands is much easier to get it started – then it can be used in one hand easily.
Q. How do you replace the gas ? Dose it use the standard tall thin gas bottles used for camping etc?
A. Thanks for your enquiry Andrew. This product just uses cigarette lighter refills such as part code 85-1125 or 85-1120.
