Spark lighter flints

[dubber]

Does anyone know where to get replacement flints for a single-flint spark lighter that Victor sells with their torch sets these days? You screw them on. I would like to get a supply of them. I am guessing some of us know what it is like to be trying to get a spark out of a worn-down flint while the gas is running and then finally getting one POOF.

Thanks for the help.

Are they different nowadays from the ones that were always sold in little tin containers, packs of 5, at about any welding supply or farm store?

I see the packaging has been revised...

I've seen them at TSC in a plastic bag with a half dozen or so in the bag, card said Hobart but I imagine they are the same. Also, do you have a plumbing supply house around? They should have them since the plumbers use the B-tanks for soldering copper.

About any place that sells welding supplies.

TSC has 'em...saw 'em yesterday.

Buy a spark lighter that has a triangular holder with 3 flints. Can't recall the name of it. When it wears down, just snap over to the next one.

Thanks. I had trouble with the threads with the replacements I tried to use but then I cut the threaded part off and tapped the piece and the replacements fit fine.

You have to take the striker to the store as there are two different threads now(who was the moron that came up with that one)
