Description of our Copper Match Extender Tool
-
- Our heavy gauge, hand crafted, solid copper wire match
extender tools
- are perfect for holding a match for lighting jar
candles
- or for starting wood stoves, charcoal grille fires, or
outdoor campfires.
- We offer two different versions of our Copper Match
Extender Tool.
Our original version match extender is 7.25" long and just the right
size for lighting
- a short wick at the bottom of a tall container jar
candle.
- This solid copper wire match extender for candles
is 20% longer
- than many vintage, light gauge, black steel wire
match extenders.
Our new 12" long extender is about 5" longer then our jar candle
version
- and is designed for lighting charcoal grilles,
rustic fireplaces, or wood stoves.
- This version match extender tool has an overall
length of 13.5" including the wooden match,
- which makes it approximately 3" longer then
standard butane lighters,
- allowing it to reach deeper into the grille or
stove.
- This match extender also features a strong
reinforced copper tube handle
- that prevents bending and warping of the tool.
- Since the extender is made from 100% pure copper
it can be kept outside
- without fear of rusting or oxidizing, although you
will notice it develop a nice patina over the years.
- Both versions of our match holders features a
classic heart shaped handle design.
The adjustable rolled copper sliding clasp on both versions securely
holds a match
- to the extender tool for lighting candle wicks or
starting wood kindling.
- Our unique copper wire clasp also features an
integral hook
- for attaching the tool to the lip of a jar candle,
- or onto a grille edge which safely assists in
lighting the match head.
- With the clasp slid to the end of the tool, the
hook can also be useful for lifting a candle wick
- that's been bent over into the wax. (This
operation should be done only after the flame is out and the wick has
cooled down.)
All of the wire and tubing used in the production of our match
extenders are verified to be 100% new copper made in the U.S.A.!
(NOTE: The jar candle, matches, and firewood in the images are not
included!)
