Tricky screw on this Abdulla

Hello everyone, i’m trying to disassemble this Abdulla lighter i have that’s not working, but one of the screws has like a separate rivet or something at the center.

For the life of me can’t get a good grip with a rubber band underneath or anything to unscrew them.

Anyone run into these before?

Flip lighter won’t spark

I was gifted an engraved lighter 5 days ago and it’s been having trouble lighting. I cut the charred wick off, unpack and repacked the cotton and filled it with plenty of fluid (probably too much as the pad below the insert is wet). It’s really struggling to light, i even put a little fluid on the wick without success, what can i do?

When the flint was at the wrong angle, it made a huge flame, but when i adjusted it, it kept not lighting

St dupont (probably dupe) lid not closing

Took off lid, now after trying to slide everything back into place and put the pin in, lid only closes halfway and if I close it all the way it bounces back up.

Ignition issues

Does anyone recognize this lighter? It’s vintage I hit in Japan but I’m having issues filling it up with fluid and the ignition isn’t working
