This little baby has electronic lighter, led flashlight and compass rolled into one for .6 ounces. I didn't knotice the light and compass until I got home.

Purchesed at my local fortified wine/convenience store for $2.

LED light has on and off switch which can also be used in a push-on fashiion.

Compass is small but the little red arrow did point north.

Electronic lighter switch takes quite a bit of pressure to depress.

Flame is adjustable.

Pen provided for size reference.

No brand name on device.

I think the weight of some of these items are worth thief weight in gold, specifically the lighter I would probably carry a backup minibic at .4 oz.

Sometimes, the Jack of All Trades is Master of None… and the compass alone looks to me to be a waste of grammage and space. It's a cool toy, but does it do any of the tasks as well as what it might replace? I'm also a fan of the Mini-Bic and then real compasses that I can sight and measure with.

This would replace 2 things in the bottom of the chalkbag when I go climbing, and add a compass. They need to expand their target market.

Congratulations on being quicker than Dale on this find. Doesn't happen very often.

if it's not refillable, it's not viable IMHO. Same for mini bics, they run out way too fast and then you've got trash.
