Most lighters are made from combinations of plastic and metal. Some stick or rechargeable models are described with a brass-finish metal.

Options include short extended wands (around 1.45 inches), flexible metal wands, long durable metal wands on multi-purpose models, and long stick lighters with overall lengths up to about 11.54 inches.

Reported overall lengths range from about 1 inch up to roughly 11.54 inches. Weights in the shown items range approximately from 0.02 pounds to about 0.45 pounds.

Listings commonly suggest uses such as lighting candles, grills, fireplaces and stoves, plus general indoor and outdoor needs like camping and celebrations.

Common types include disposable pocket lighters, long multi-purpose or wand lighters (including flexible-wand versions), extended wand candle/stick lighters, and rechargeable electric stick lighters.

Many listings use butane fuel. At least one stick-style lighter uses battery/electric power (a rechargeable model).

Pack counts vary; examples in the listings include single-unit (1), 2-count, and 5-count packs.

Disposable pocket lighters are described as providing up to about 3,000 lights. Some extended wand stick lighters claim up to 50% more lights versus other non-refillable pocket wand lighters. The rechargeable electric stick lighter is listed as providing up to about 200 arcs per charge.

Common safety features listed include child-resistant mechanisms, long or flexible wands to keep hands away from the flame, retractable hooks on some long lighters, and—on at least one rechargeable model—a safety switch and indicator light.
