## Description

Great Product

Review: light and reliable - Great backpacking camp stove (white gas or isobutane) starter. Good backup for a cheapo cigarette lighter- it ALWAYS works. Light and stands out visually. I've got a nice piezo lighter (no flint) but it is heavy (stainless steel Zippo body) and the "flints" in light cheap butane lighters turn to mush when rather damp or wet (been there, done that). This happens pretty often in the USA Pacific Northwest.
Review: This product is worth its weight in gold in a survial situation and small kit. - I bought this at Walmart also figuring what the hell 7 bucks I will give it a try. It is excellent. The whole thing weighs about 24 grams which is nothing. The striker is not crap and gets a great spark off the rod it comes with. It also gets a great spark off other bigger ferro rods I have which came with useless strikers. This thing is great just because it is so small and will ignite a dry plain cotton ball with one spark. You should carry some cotton balls with you for emergency situations. Come one how much do cotton balls weigh? Go to the gym more if you have to. A cotton ball is a guaranteed fire for 1 minute even without a little Vaseline. Just a small touch of Vaseline makes cotton balls burn hotter and longer (2 minutes). I tried the product on dry wadded grass at that also ignited immediately. BTW be careful of the cheap Chinese knock off strikers and magnesium bars. They don’t spark or ignite they are a complete waste of money. They are worse than useless because they can give you a false since of security. Always test a product at home before you really need it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many strikes will this last**
A: About 8000 strikes. Have owned several. Just a heads up keep them well away from salts and oxidisers as these will cause the rods to pit and turn to a powder pretty quickly. I teach survival classes and have had this happen several times. Good product but I use the back of my knife that has a 90 degree spine on it to strike the rod.

**Q: what is the diamiter of the flint rod**
A: The rod is 1/4 inch in diameter.  The striker steel is also 1/4 inch wide.The exposed part of the rod is 1 11/16 inches long.  The striker steel is 3/4 inch long.

**Q: How does it compare with the GobSpark Armageddon?**
A: I don't know, but  it work good for the size.  I think  it is worth the price. I like a large rod better as it is easy to hold.

**Q: This, vs the bear grylls style?**
A: This is like a lighter if you have cooton with you it irks like a beast even though it is not a lighter This is also smaller than bear gryls lighter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as designed
*by S***. on November 11, 2018*

This is a decent fire starting device. It isn’t as durable as some others of the same style I’ve used in the last, but it isn’t flimsy either. I prefer a longer tool as it provides more area to create spark from. I always carry at least three methods of producing fire in my backpack when out in the backcountry, and this has been used a few times as I wanted to test it out. It worked as designed, but as I mentioned earlier, I prefer to have a longer area to strike to create spark. All in all, a good product.
