Review: Great Ferro Rods! - Big ferro rods like these will literally last you for years and the size makes them very easy to hold and control compared to some of the tinier ones on the market. After one scrape to remove the exterior paint I was throwing strong sparks immediately. At the time of purchase these two rods were $16.99, which is a great price for rods this big that work this well. These rods do not come with a striker and while some people might complain about that, I actually look at it as an advantage because, IMHO, the standard strikers that come with ferro rods are worse than useless. When I first got into using ferro rods I ordered a pair of rods that at I initially thought were defective. Turns out the rods were actually fine, but the included strikers were so bad that it made it impossible to make anything more than a tiny spark. I got a $1.99 pair of scissors and use them closed as a striker on both the old rods and these new rods... sparks fly everywhere! The only minor disadvantages I can see are: 1. If you want a firestarter for a compact/ultralight kit then obviously a big ferro rod like this might not be what you want, but that's just the nature of the product. 2. I really like that there is a hole pre-drilled for a tie-off, but in my case I have paracord that's just a hair too thick to put through the hole easily. That's not a showstopper though and of course a slightly thinner twine will work fine.
Review: Great Product - Great Value - Finally! A ferro rod that is big enough to fit into my big mits. Once you have the protective coating scraped away from the rod it produces a huge volume of sparks and is very easy to handle due to its size. I would definitely recommend them. The two pack is a great value and I expect to pick up a few more so I can stash them around in my gear (go-bag, get home bag, car, office bag, etc.). My only complaint, if I really had one, is that these are heavy. I wear my rod around my neck when I an in the field and I needed to widen the neckback as the para-cord I initially used wanted to chafe. On the plus side, it gave me a good reason to braid a new neck band! If you bushcraft, camp, or just want to be well prepared these are a great investment.
