FUL4501 - Shurlite 4501 Three-Flint Striker

The Last Striker You'll Need on the Job

As a welder, your striker is one of the most used tools in your kit, and there is nothing more frustrating than a lighter that fails right when you are ready to lay a bead. The Shurlite #4501 Three-Flint Spark Lighter is built to eliminate that frustration. Its defining feature is the "Tri-Flint" system. Instead of fumbling with tiny screw-on replacements when a flint wears down in the middle of a job, you simply rotate the triangular head to the next position. It’s like having three lighters in one, keeping you working without interruption.

Durability is where the #4501 truly shines. We know that welding environments are tough—tools get dropped, stepped on, and tossed into gang boxes. This lighter is constructed from heavy-duty, high-tensile steel that resists bending and breaking. The galvanized finish isn't just for looks; it protects the tool from rust and corrosion, which is essential if you are working on pipelines, shipyards, or outdoor construction sites where the elements can destroy inferior tools. The rugged frame feels solid in your hand, giving you the confidence that it will perform every time you squeeze it.

Lighting your torch shouldn't be a struggle. The #4501 is designed to generate a massive, hot spark with a simple squeeze, easily igniting your oxy-fuel or propane setup on the first try. The handle is ergonomically designed to be used comfortably with thick welding gloves, providing a secure grip and plenty of leverage. Whether you are in a fabrication shop or out in the field, the Shurlite #4501 is the reliable partner you need to get the flame going safely and quickly. Stop settling for flimsy strikers that fall apart; upgrade to the industry standard for reliability.
