I don’t see the point in removing the safety, I used to, but not for the normal reason, I used to remove it, to identify my lighter from all of my friends, that was until my 4 yo burnt herself (don’t worry tiny little burn that healed quickly) Anyways, I don’t see the point in removing it, to me it doesn’t make the lighter any harder to light, just push down on the wheel as you normally would and the lighter lights, how much easy do you want it?

I think everyone should send the piece back to the manufacturer in protest. Personally I only buy the cheapo lighters, that dont have the safety, in silent protest

you don’t have to remove that cover, I do it all the time, just by putting the screwdriver between the safety and the wheel and pry it out, it will come out from the red plastic trigger and you will be able to remove it without having to remove that cover.
