Light My Fire Flint Fire Starter Ferro Rod Survival Tool Army — Fire Steel Bushcraft Gear — Flint and Steel Magnesium Fire Starter Kit — 3/8” 2-in-1 Fire Starters for Campfires — 12,000 Strikes

What a tremendous tool!This Ferro rod is intuitive to use, highly effective, and rugged. It produces a large amount of sparks, and ignites tinder readily.I'd buy this again.

One of the best on the market. Very easy to use and very dependable.

AWESOME FIRE STARTER!! Been using these brand for many years!! A Must Have for every bug out bag or GOOD bag!! A great survivalist must have tool.

With high expectation we purchased two of these. On one we cleaned the ferro rod removing the outer black coating. With each strike it did produce many sparks, thus ready for our tests. Beginning simple using tissue paper stripped to smaller pieces creating a birdsnest configuration, we attempted to light it with Light My Fire. With the tool on the tissue paper or barely above it, it put out many sparks, however none of the sparks could light tissue paper.Next test we used toilet paper (TP) ripping it to shreds making a birdsnest bundle. Again Light My Fire would make many sparks, but not catch the TP on fire. For another test we used regular kitchen paper towel. Ripping it to pieces creating a birdsnest, same-same, many sparks without them lighting the papers. We tried regular ole newspaper, same results or lack there of. We were very confused. Yes scrapping ferro rod clearly produces sparks, but not fire on what should be easily flamable paper products.Final test was with a cotton balls. Pulling apart the cotton balls created more surface area and small fibers for sparks to catch on. Again the birdsnest, it took the Light My Fire many strikes producing many sparks, finally we get the cotton ball burning.Our conclusion, yes the Light My Fire does produce many sparks, however sparks were not hot enough to catch those paper products on fire. Over a few days the above tests were attempted numerous time with those papers, dried grass and the like. Each time the rod produced sparks but nothing caught on fire. Sadly, we returned both Light My Fire boxes to Amazon.

I purchased a Light My Fire 2.0 Army ferro rod last year and I was happy with my purchase then. This past summer, I went on a camping trip and took that one with me and it worked great. This past week I was looking for it and could not find it and I thought I might have left it 200 miles away at my campsite. As I really liked it, I decided to replace it with the same model only to discover that Light My Fire has superseded it with the bio plastic one. I applaud Light My Fire for using recycled plastic but the new model is different from the older model.I ended up finding the first one I purchased so I took pictures to compare. The new bio version comes with a shorter lanyard and it is too short. I recommend replacing it. My biggest disappointment is that they changed the ferrocerium composition in this version. You can see from my pictures that the rod is different. The old model (on top) was struck more times but looks like it has been barely used and trying to light a vasoline covered cotton ball took more strikes. I think they replaced a harder compound for a softer one which is why I am disappointed. I do plan on keeping it in a pack so I am covered in an emergency.

Great tool! Must have and easy to use.

To start I'm not going to dock a star off this product cause the ferro rod works well and the striker is very functional and makes it throw sparks very effectively as for the built in whistle to the striker maybe I got the technique wrong or the ergonomics make it weird to use but the whistle but as I said maybe the ergonomics make it weird to use it but aside from that the ferro rod works great the handles are ergonomic and the strikers handle is ergonomic as well making getting a firm grip easy. Overall I'd recommend this for a ferro rod its size its functional and easily pocketable plus the thickness of it means you shouldn't have to worry about wearing it out quickly.

Ok. Listen to me, please. I have multiple ferro rod and striker combinations from just about everyone you can imagine. This Light My Fire ferro rod is BY FAR my favorite. We have four of them now and this is the one my kids use as well. It throws spark like a boss and the whistle is loud as ever. When I make fire kits for students, this is the one I include. Don’t waste your time and money on anything else. Short of the really fat Uberleben, which has no whistle, this things works like no other.

J en ai eu et tester d'autres...Ne chercher plus : celui-ci est top !Très facile d utilisation : pas besoin de forcer les gerbes d'étincelles sont au rdv !Je ne dis pas que les autres marques ne sont pas bien, mais pour en avoir testés certaines (pas toutes !!!!) : celui ci a tout de suite surpassé les autres.Pour apprendre à un débutant à le manipuler ou même initier des enfants, comme il est facile d utilisation, les conditions de sécurité sont meilleures : moins de risques de glisser parce que on est obligé de frotter fort ou plusieurs fois....Il est net, précis : fait bien le job !J en suis ravie !J avais acheté les autres par "économie" car je m'etais dis que ce n était pas la peine d'y mettre trop cher, mais au bout du compte : j aurai mieux fait d acheter ce type là d emblée ! C'est comme ça que j'aurai économiser du temps, de l'argent ET de l'énervement à m'acharner à faire prendre un feu qui ne prenait pas !!! 😅😊

Urunu aldiktan sonra disindaki koruma boyasini biraz kazidim ve kivilcim cikarmaya basladim. Evet fazla kivilcim cikariyor ancak bu kivilcimlar kagidi, peceteyi, yapraklari yakamiyor. Urunu almaktaki amac acil durumlarda hayatta kalmak icin ates yakmaksa acil durumda yaninizda ya ates baslatici (jel, yagli fitiller, talas cira vb.) urunler olmali ya da cebinizde bir adet cakmak bulundurmalisiniz. Internetteki videolarda da gordum ki tamamen dogal materyal kullanildigi takdirde bu urunle ates yakmak gercekten de zor. Urunu biraz daha deneyecegim. Performans alabilirsem yorumu guncellerim.

Perfekt men kräver lite övning.

Ürün çok güzel daha önce 1 küçüğünü almıştım memnun kalınca ve mükemmel fiyata bulunca bunuda aldım
