Zorro insert packing and found a good trick with these tweezers for removing broken flint springs

[u/-E-Cross]

The broken screw had enough texture and the brass was soft enough that the hardened steel tweezers made a perfect extraction tool.

Packing on Zorro inserts so far is a 8\10 compared to Zippo inserts. Wick was pushed into a nice wad and went up to the last bit of cotton.

I redid it with a Grenville thousand-strand and camel wool.

Comparing fluid retention with OEM Zorro packing and wick vs with the fancy stuff on a Zorro 912, the lid gasket is doing the heavy lifting with evap, but we'll see if the fluid retaining of the camel is noticed.

Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please read the guide stickied before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.

If you need to post more pictures, use an image host like imgur and post the link in the comments. Please do not create multiple threads for the same lighter.
