New Junior Size Platinum Catalyst Flameless Metal Hand Warmer - Best for some Women and Children Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 5 of these as gifts for family. I was a bit concerned about the safety of the warmers, but after keeping one in a pocket for a total of about 36 hours I have to say that doesn't seem to be an issue at all. There's no flame with these; they use a catalytic reaction to generate heat. I easily got 12 hours heat from this smaller unit, and over 20 with the larger hand warmer.
These are the smaller of the two versions sold, and while not as warm as the larger unit, they do put out plenty of heat to warm a pocket. It's like having a warm coffee cup to wrap your hands around.
Functionally these are very simple. A small "cap" attaches to the top of the fuel reservoir; it holds a gauzy material that has some platinum particles in it. The platinum catalyzes fuel vapors, generating a nice warm, but not uncomfortably hot hand warmer. You start the reaction by holding a flame to the cap.
My only criticism of the unit is that it's easy to overfill. Overfilling results in the transfer of some fuel directly into the gauzy material in the cap, which then will produce a tiny flame when you try to start the reaction - which you should never allow to happen. It's very easy to blow out the flame (like blowing out a birthday candle) and you can daub the excess fuel up with a napkin. I just wish it was a bit easier to figure out how much fuel to put in.
If you know someone that works outside, sits in the cold at football games, or partakes of outdoor winter sports - this is a really cool, inexpensive gift.

This is a smaller Junior size version of the hand warmer for children. We also have a large version for most adults. It gives comfortable continuous heat for up to 12 hours on a single filling of lighter fluid. It can be turned off by removing the heating element for a few seconds. This brand new heat generating pocket sized warmer is great for anybody who spends time in the cold. Platinum catalyst flameless technology ensures easy lighting and stable temperature from beginning to the end. The newer heating element has 3 times more platinum powder. You start it with a cigarette lighter burning about 2 seconds. Made of polished chrome plated copper, which does not rust like steel. It includes a carrying case and an extra heating element. Buy one for each pocket or coat and never be chilled in the cold again. This hand warmer is the ideal gift for the hunter and fisherman, and anyone that enjoys the outdoors in the winter. The hand warmer also can be used in the event of an emergency and should be part of every winter survival kit. This is probably the best hand warmer in the world today. The other types of hand warmer are disposable (expensive, relatively short heating time, too small to keep warm for a large hand) and the reusable type (hot to cold in only 1 hour, need to wrap it in towel to boil in water for 15 minutes to recharge). This is the best and most elegant type of hand warmer. Temperature: Warm up to 150 degrees F or about 70 degrees above ambient temperature.

Platinum Catalyst Flameless Metal Hand Warmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On the upside this provides considerable warmth, for a very long period of time. You start it in the morning, and turn it off (remove the catalytic cap for 2 seconds) in the evening. It only has 3 parts - the base, which holds the fuel, the catalytic cap, and the top, which slides onto the base to make a single unit you can put in a pocket.
I wasn't sure if you could actually put it in a pocket, but you sure can. It uses a catalytic reaction, not a flame, so it doesn't get so hot that you have to worry about it. When I need warmth I actually hang mine from a lanyard around my neck with the unit down the front of my shirt.
Fuel is cheap too - just lighter fluid. A 12 Oz bottle runs this thing everyday for over a week!
I also use small, fluid based, warmer for my emergency kit. It's cool, but I'd have to carry over 12 of them to have the same heating available as one of these units.
There is also a smaller version of this Hand Warmer. It's good if you don't need quite as much warmth.
No complaints with this one, and I've used it everyday for over a week.
Oh - it comes with 2 catalytic caps. They don't appear to be consumed at all while making heat - I'm sure they will last for several years of heavy use, but I'm just basing that on the advertising.

Issues - It takes some art to fill these properly. Some similar products come with a measuring cup so it's a no-brainer. With these you just fill them till you can see saturation at the top of the cotton packing in the fuel tank. I have overfilled on occasion and had to use a napkin to sop up the excess fuel. Overfilling results in a small flame in the cap when you are starting it. This is bad. Blow out the flame (as easy as blowing out a birthday candle) sop up some fuel, and try again.
Also - the catalytic reaction produces a slight odor. Out of doors it's impossible to detect, but if you use it indoors you can sometimes get a slight whiff of it.
All in all - if you need a personal heater that you can wear on your person - this will do the job.
