Thank you for exposing this. I bought one for about $55.00 with shipping and got the same scam played on me. Reported it dozens of times but they won't take the ad down. RUclips must be making a killing on this.

They won’t get rid of the scam ads from YT, but I bet they’ll try to take this video down for a copyright strike because you played a few seconds of the ad…..
Gotta watch out next time Pete! 2 or 3 beers all gets us excited on the ads am i right 😂Your new video style and taking the mick exposing it is something i love, keep it up :D
❤️🇺🇸 I got one of those months ago. I was totally pissed off when it was not an electric plasma device, I called them up, they said that the commercial was a mistake and they haven’t got around to fixing the commercial yet. I told them I was pissed. Take the piece of crap back. They gave me a big discount so I kept it. It’s decent for lighting fires in the fire pit, but definitely not what they said, and I’m not surprised that the phone number doesn’t work anymore peace peace‼️👍🏻✌🏻😎
Ah, the classic case of “expectation vs. reality.” At least you’ve got a fire pit buddy now! Just think of it as a “fire starter” with bonus disappointment.
Beware Pete, there's a lot of fake stuff on youtube , saw one this morning , reckons it's the best mosquito catcher ever 🎉😂😂😂. Cheers mate. Thanks for the Great video.
So close, I had been drinking too....just in time. Thanks, Pete. But a flamethrower, a flamethrower....more like the ensuing fireball that consumed the entire house.
I think -- though I could be wrong -- that the original totally electric design is no longer sold. A few weeks ago I looked on Amazon, and all the lighters like this I found are clearly butane-powered. I didn't look beyond this, but I doubt it's sold anywhere today.
Holding it upright like that fills it with gas and not liquid. Inverting it allows the liquid gas to fill it which then expands into a gas to work. Every gas bottle works the same way.
Omg first time checking ur channel out and u killed me bro! U had my 😂 so hard I started choking. Not sure what your channel is about but I'm subscribing no mater what it's about tho just cause this video had me laughing so hard. Thanks for this bud I hope u r able to keep making more
So, it sounds like those glasses were more than just a fashion statement for you that night! Maybe they were trying to block out all the bad decisions too?
@trooper6308 True I was counting only a pair to see and one more to cover All my many bad decisions, vs a pair for each bad decision, I would not even been able to afford the shipping on that amount of glasses, let alone the glasses.
RUclips needs to start adding a comment section to the adds. Because every since I saw this add, I've wanted to mention the fuel rich flame that could not be a plasma flame. "Imagine it" a RUclips with a comment section. Were everything sold, you get to see how it worked for others, or just what they think about it in general. I've bought a few things off RUclips. The drones were worse than junk. But the Patriot flashlight was an awesome deal.
I remember seeing the same commercial claiming that it was 100 percent electric but in the commercial as they're moving it around you can clearly see the butane refill whole on the bottom of it which told me instantly that the ad was a lie which I already knew it was anyway with the claims they were making
I have a couple they are excellent! Did not buy them off a scammer. In the add you can tell it’s a gas flame. Electric piezo igniter. It is probably the best lighter you can get. Can heat cans to red hot in no time. If you want to heat some beans or something it will do it fairly quick.
Where do you plug in a heater?? Not the socket on the wall? Where then direct to the generator?? Or just loop the line underneath some powerlines and get free energy that escaped the confines of the high tension above ground transmission lines?? And get that free stuff. For free. Without payment for it. Yeah 😅😂
Hey Pete, I was wondering, what beers do you recommend. I'm an American college student, lived in a frat for a year, so i'm getting a bit sick of the cheap beers they always had.
I feel you! After a year in a frat, it’s time to retire the cheap beer and give your taste buds a little vacation! How about treating yourself to something that doesn’t taste like regret? I don't know any of your beers mate sorry.
The beer that we always drank was Natural Light, was cheap and tasted just good enough to go down easily. Since then I've decided to experiment. Rolling Rock, Budweiser Select and Michelob Ultra, plus some local breweries' German-style beer like whatever a Schnickelfritz is. Nothin' like cracking open a cold one and playing some games or editing a video, or making sega megadrive music on the internet (im a turbonerd, i know haha)
@petestools loved it it did cost a bit tho buggas doing that to ya mate love ya content be sharing it cos its great to see a awsome kiwi doing this its as good as myth busters love it
@@trooper6308 Like a medicine my friend!!! & a swig or two of Tiger beer! (I need to try me some if I can ever find some imported here in the good 'ol US of A!)
I'm glad these people like this showing people why they shouldn't make false advertisement I hope this people get sued my wife was bragging about that lighter and I told her it uses butane that no lighter uses electricity the flame will never be like that play lightning and it destroys everything
I jave a torch similar to this one but its more gun shaped but has the same flame. Paid $30 on amazon for it and it works great but it eats butane like crazy. Wish I could find a large butane can like yours but all i can find are the ronson ones.
@petestools Don't know what happened to my link but search prestige import group torch lighter on Google. There is their website in one of the search results with a picture of a black torch lighter. That is the one I have.
Thanks for taking one for the team !
No problem! Just call me the captain of the "Team Sacrifice" ship!

To save time, just assume all RUclips ads are scams.
Haha, I think you just cracked the code to RUclips advertising! Next, you'll tell us to assume all fast food is gourmet!

Someone had to say it 😂😂😂
Pete got burnt

And no more non alcoholic beer ...😂
if you hear "military grade" you already know its gonna be the cheapest made crap possible
Ah, the classic "military grade" paradox-where toughness meets a budget-friendly price tag! Who knew the army had a clearance sale?
And made in China. They didn't say WHO'S military😂
I resent that..they give us the best of the best! 😂

Good one Pete! Can't wait to see your review of the revolutionary new air conditioner being advertised lately.
Coming soon!
Yes I have one of those, in Oztralia they are only good for drying off the ol' wiggy down unda after a shower.
They won’t get rid of the scam ads from YT, but I bet they’ll try to take this video down for a copyright strike because you played a few seconds of the ad…..
Right? It's like they're more worried about a few seconds of an ad than all the scams lurking in the shadows! Classic RUclips logic!
Of course not. They make money from those ads as well.
Pete I'm glad you're here to help figure out whether these things are trash or not
Right? If I had a dollar for every time something turned out to be trash, I could buy a new trash can!
@petestools well I hope this series helps everyone see what scams are scams and what is actually quality. Its appreciated
Gotta watch out next time Pete! 2 or 3 beers all gets us excited on the ads am i right 😂Your new video style and taking the mick exposing it is something i love, keep it up :D
Haha, you know it! A couple of beers and suddenly those ads are like popcorn-hard to resist! Cheers to that!
At least you got one before they're banned!
Kamala would’ve banned them..!
Even in NZ…😩
@Phookinell Same boss as Dame Horse Face so yeah
lol
Haha, right? Kamala would probably have a travel ban on them just to be safe-even from the Kiwis!
Its a real product on selling websites.
Ah yes, military grade flamethrower. As opposed to the civilian grade ones you can get at Bunnings.
Right? Because nothing says "DIY project" like a military-grade flamethrower! Just remember to keep the marshmallows at a safe distance!
Dont trust Chinese there full of 💩💩

Civilian grade flamethrowers are available and legal, lol
Pete ur a bloody legend mate from Oz...
Legend? Nah, just a regular bloke with a camera and a questionable sense of humor!
Hey pete keep up the great content it makes ny day after exam stress
Thanks! Will do!
Love your videos pete your a bloody legend , love and respect from the uk
A bloody legend, eh? I’ll take that title! Just don’t tell my mom-I’m still her little Pete!
I was also amazed with the advertising and planned on getting one. Thnx for exposing this scam.
Let’s not forget don’t bother with complaining to Utube for it being a scam they don’t give a rats
Complaining to RUclips is like yelling at a vending machine - it just stares back at you without a care!
Hardest 3 years of a kiwis life. Grade 1.

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. We need more people like this in the World.
Well, if we could bottle that shipmate spirit, we’d have a top-selling motivational drink!
I worked on kitty hawk 1986 Coronado....what an experience
What's absolutely hysterical is, while I'm watching your video, an ad popped in for a FULLY ELECTRIC LIGHTER!!!!!
Yup!
THAT one!
🤣🤣🤣

Wake up babe new Pete’s Tools video
lol cheers
I'm glad I ignore all ads. I have never bought or even visited any ad I have ever seen online and never will.
ive been wondering about these, thanks for saving us all
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really happy to hear that the video made a difference for you.
Could tell by looking at the flame on the ads for it that it worked like a plumber's torch, with compressed gas.
Lol, " so, I thought to myself, I thought to myself ". " Hmm, I said to myself, I said to myself ".
Thrashings to Murgatroid
Right? It's a deep conversation with myself-I think I need to get out more! 😂
"Thrashings to Murgatroid! Sounds like a new workout routine I need to try-maybe I'll get fit while jamming out!"
It's a BBQ lighter. Without the bendy neck. 😅😅
Haha, right? Just a straight-up BBQ lighter doing its thing!
Another too good to be real 😂😅 Quite a few of them, 😮 good job exposing it,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Glad you enjoyed the video! Just call me the "Too Good To Be True" detective-no capes required!

Hahahahahahaha, love it, lol…. I said to myself, lol… Pete, get the Mrs to hide your credit card 😆
Right? If only hiding the credit card came with a secret vault and a guard dog! 😂

Have you ever tried to tie a kangaroo down Sport???
Keep em coming Pete.
I learned a long time ago not to watch any youtube ads, and when they come up with that little questionnaire, I always click none of the above
Love your presentation & your accent
I appreciate it! I guess my accent is just a fancy way of saying “I’ll always stand out in a crowd!”
I think -- though I could be wrong -- that the original totally electric design is no longer sold. A few weeks ago I looked on Amazon, and all the lighters like this I found are clearly butane-powered. I didn't look beyond this, but I doubt it's sold anywhere today.
If its advertised on social media its a scam........
Right? I once bought a “magic” blender that promised to turn my veggies into ice cream... all it did was make a mess in my kitchen!
When filling you want to flip it over at least in the ones i have used it will get some in upright but it wont fill cery much
Holding it upright like that fills it with gas and not liquid. Inverting it allows the liquid gas to fill it which then expands into a gas to work. Every gas bottle works the same way.
lol cool
They must be out for lunch I'm still giggling
It's always great to find something that keeps us laughing! Hope you enjoyed the video!
I had to share this to Facebook
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, you're the real MVP! 🙌
Thanks mate, i was about to get one👍
Glad I could help

Thanks for saving me the money pal. Laughing my ass off.
Happy Friday Pete 🎉
Same to you!
but i am on Saturday mate
Thank you Pete
I was just smart enough not to buy one...
Ah, the wisdom of not buying something you don't need! Should I crown you the "Smart Shopper of the Year"?
After a couple of beers it sounds good, ask Pete
@@petestoolswell you certainly are not. Flames 🔥 Need fuel and a spark. Duh!
It seems kind of odd you got the wrong item after paying so much, but I got an actual USB dual plasma lighter off Temu somewhere in the $5 - $8 range!
😂 tell em OG fort to my self to my self 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Pete, for informing and entertaining us. Leave it to New Zelanders to spot a scam and prove it.
You know what they say, Kiwis have a sixth sense for scams-it's like a superpower but with more sheep involved!
Awesome is what I was thinking too as I looked at my debit card 😂😂 thank god I saw this 👍👍
Glad I could help!
Thanks pete 👍
Should have a "warning sticker" on the box saying " Danger..fire is hot" just for Pete.
True! Maybe we should just wrap Pete in bubble wrap for extra safety!
I saw that advert and thought too good to be true. I get the same vibe with that titanium nonstick pan.
