Stick lighters are either disposable butane-fueled models or rechargeable battery/electric models.
Stick lighters are commonly made from plastic or metal; some rechargeable models are described with a brass-finish metal exterior.
Stick lighters are sold in single-count units, two-count packs, and larger packs such as five-count packs.
Size and weight vary: listings show very short wand-style lighters around 1 inch (some list a 1.45‑inch wand) up to multipurpose lighters about 11.54 inches long, with weights ranging from about 0.02 pounds to about 0.25 pounds.
Convenience and storage features include a long metal wand to keep hands away from the flame, retractable hooks or clips for easy storage, and extended wand lengths on candle lighters to aid safe lighting.
