FUL3001 - Shurlite 3001 Universal Single Flint Spark Lighter

The Industry Standard for Safe Torch Ignition

In the world of welding and metal fabrication, safety and reliability are paramount from the very first moment you step up to the bench. The Shurlite 3001 Single Flint Striker is not just a tool; it is the industry standard for igniting oxy-fuel torches. Designed to replace dangerous matches and cigarette lighters, this striker provides a controlled, hot spark that instantly ignites welding gases without the risk of explosion or hand burns.

The genius of the Shurlite 3001 lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. It features a specially designed gas-trapping cup that pools a small amount of flammable gas around the spark point. This ensures that even in drafty workshops or outdoor environments, your torch lights on the first strike. The friction mechanism uses a high-quality round file that rotates against a renewable flint, generating a shower of sparks with minimal effort. Unlike cheaper imitations, the file on a Shurlite striker is hardened to maintain its roughness over thousands of strikes, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Ergonomics play a vital role in the design of the #3001. The strong steel wire frame is tensioned perfectly to allow for a smooth squeeze, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive use. The length of the handle keeps your fingers safely away from the torch tip, preventing accidental burns when the gas ignites. Whether you are working with acetylene, propane, MAPP gas, or natural gas, this universal lighter is capable of handling them all. It is an essential piece of safety equipment for every professional welder, plumber, and HVAC technician.

Maintenance is incredibly straightforward. The single flint is easily replaceable via a threaded holder, meaning you don't need to throw the tool away when the flint wears down. This makes the Shurlite 3001 an economical choice for schools, large fabrication shops, and independent contractors alike. Trust the brand that invented the technology and ensure your day starts with a spark, not a struggle.
