OVERVIEW

Reliable Ignition for Every Job

In the fast-paced world of industrial welding and fabrication, the smallest components often play the most critical roles. The ESAB 790F98 Replacement Flints are a prime example of this necessity. Designed to keep your operations running smoothly, these high-quality renewal flints ensure that your friction lighters and cup strikers are always ready to ignite your oxy-fuel torches. Nothing halts production faster than a dead striker, and having a reliable pack of spares on hand is the hallmark of a prepared professional.

This package contains four standard-sized flints, conveniently sealed on a blister card to prevent loss and protect them from moisture until they are ready for use. Whether you are working in a heavy-duty fabrication shop, on a construction site, or in a garage, these flints are compatible with most standard single and triple-flint strikers found in the industry. The ease of replacement means you can swap out a worn flint in seconds, minimizing downtime and keeping your focus on the weld.

Safety and Efficiency Combined

Using a proper friction lighter with fresh flints is not just about convenience; it is a matter of safety. Matches and butane lighters can be dangerous in welding environments due to the risk of hand burns or gas pocket ignition. A dedicated striker equipped with ESAB 790F98 flints allows the operator to keep their hands at a safe distance from the torch tip while generating a controlled, directed spark. This 4-pack ensures that you have ample backup, so you never have to resort to unsafe ignition methods.

At Josef Gas, we understand that reliable tools lead to quality work. These flints are manufactured to high standards, ensuring they don't crumble prematurely or fail to spark. They are an essential addition to any welder's toolkit, providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your equipment will work when you need it most. Stock up on these essential consumables and ensure your flame is always just one click away.

FAQ

These flints are made of ferrocerium, a specialized pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks when struck against a rough surface like a file.

They are designed to be a standard size that fits the vast majority of manual friction lighters, including single-flint cup strikers and triple-flint models.

This specific product (SKU 790F98) contains 4 individual replacement flints on a blister card.

Technically, ferrocerium can oxidize over very long periods (years) if exposed to high humidity, turning into a grey powder. However, if kept dry in their packaging, they last almost indefinitely.

Ensure the flint is properly seated against the file drum. Sometimes the file on the striker itself is worn out or clogged with debris, not the flint.

Yes, these flints create sparks hot enough to ignite propane, acetylene, MAPP gas, and natural gas torches.

The material itself is resistant to water, but wet flints will not spark. If they get wet, simply dry them off thoroughly before attempting to use them.

It is better to keep them in the packaging. While they won't ignite spontaneously, they are small and easily lost, and constant friction against keys or coins could theoretically degrade them.
