    Cricket Home Firepower Lighter For as long as I can possibly remember I have always burned beautifully fragranced candles and over the years I have used a mountain of matches. However, I was constantly burning my fingers when my candles were reducing in size, particularly those belonging to Yankee, which are contained in a glass jar and were almost impossible to light without burning my skin. Each time I lit a candle I would make a mental note to search for a long lighter the next time I was out shopping, but as my memory is absolutely useless I would continually forget. However, a few months ... more

    It's not often that we find ourselves needing matches in this house – birthday cakes, the occasional romantic candle and the ever annoying power cut – but when we do need them, we never seem to have any. A while ago I hosted a Party Lite candle party and the presenter introduced me to this very handy little gadget – the Cricket Fire Power Long Handled Lighter! I could immediately see that it would be very useful for a number of reasons so I decided to buy one! This is a very basic implement but so very handy too. The first thing to mention that it is 22cm long which means that the reach is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, safe, affordable, convenient.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None to note.

    I had noticed the Cricket Long Handled Lighter on a number of occasions during visits to the supermarket, though I only bought one recently. In the past I have always used matches, though these can be awkward to use unless you buy the large boxes of Cooks' Matches. The simplicity of this product is what appealed to me, and after noticing it on a number of occasions I finally bought it. The first thing I noticed when I took a closer look at the product is that you can choose from a range of colours. The Cricket Long Handled Lighter is available in plain colours of silver, red and black. They ... more

    Advantages Advantages Long handle makes life easier!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You shouldn't play with fire ;-)

    So I don't have a gas oven which requires a light and I'm not a smoker. Two of the main reasons people may purchase a lighter. However there are an abundance of reasons why you may need one of these just lying about your house! Firstly I must proclaim that I am a man with plenty of experience with barbequing! I can cook to perfection and satisfy everyone who tries the food. They said practice makes perfect and I had plenty of time for that. So I have to admit that maybe I haven’t cooked a vast variety of food, nor have I used a real barbeque. What can I say, times are hard as a student! I’ve ... more

    Advantages Advantages Long length, durable, reliable, solid long flame

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    The Cricket Long Handled Lighter is probably an appliance you don’t miss until you’ve been using one and then you lose it! It’s a basic, very straightforward design, but it’s useful, practical and extremely versatile and every home should have one. We do not smoke in our home, but my partner likes to have candles alight during the evening, and I guess this is when these lighters come in most useful. That, and lighting birthday cake candles! The reason I personally prefer these lighters is that they are so very long in length, and this makes them safer to use if I am lighting candles deep ... more

    ---Why We Bought This--- Not one of my purchases, but actually something hubby bought. Not known for his shopping skills, but he does enjoy time in our large garden since ill health forced early retirement. He often has little B.B.Q.s and also has a little gas stove in one of his sheds - a real man's den - so he obviously thought this was a necessary gadget. ---The Brand--- Cricket make many types of small lighters and these Firepower lighters. They first made lighters in the 1960s and the large Firepower were on sale from 2003. ---The Product--- Refillable long gas lighter. 9 inches long ... more
