These are crap. If you're preparing to go outdoors or camping and need to light a fire, buy a mini butane blowtorch. Those will start a fire even with wet/damp wood.
#2, if you never used one of these, don't answer. Depending on what type of butane torch you are talking about, it is totally possible that it could be made inoperatable. This thing does work and has the least amount of moving parts or parts that will not break. I would keep a few of these as backup to matches and a lighter. I would not end up like that cnet editor.
